I wonder why you left out all the intervening quotes from your hack cut & paste job from CNN? Like these? September 12 -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "We are working to determine the precise motivations and methods of those who carried out this assault. Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. America's commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear -- there is no justification for this, none." September 12 -- White House spokesman Jay Carney, in response to questions about whether the attack was planned: "It's too early for us to make that judgment. I think -- I know that this is being investigated, and we're working with the Libyan government to investigate the incident. So I would not want to speculate on that at this time." September 13 -- Jay Carney: "The protests we're seeing around the region are in reaction to this movie. They are not directly in reaction to any policy of the United States or the government of the United States or the people of the United States."

September 13 -- State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland: "Well, as we said yesterday when we were on background, we are very cautious about drawing any conclusions with regard to who the perpetrators were, what their motivations were, whether it was premeditated, whether they had any external contacts, whether there was any link, until we have a chance to investigate along with the Libyans. So I know that's going to be frustrating for you, but we really want to make sure that we do this right and we don't jump to conclusions. That said, obviously, there are plenty of people around the region citing this disgusting video as something that has been motivating." September 14 -- Jay Carney: "We were not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent." Let's use real quotes, shall we?

3rdnlng Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/10/05/number-employed-people-rises-873000-september-highest-december-2008 The unemployment rate decreased to 7.8 percent in September, a number certain to impact the presidential race. Pundits have been saying for months this number had to drop below 8 percent for it not to be a hindrance to President Obama's reelection chances. The economy added 114,000 nonfarm payrolls in the month according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics with gains in healthcare, transportation and warehousing. Truly shocking in the report was that the number of unemployed people dropped by 456,000 to 12.1 million. Maybe more shocking, total employment, as measured by the Household Survey, rose by 873,000 in September to 142,974,000, the biggest one month jump since June 1983. As such, total employment now stands at the highest level it's been since December 2008 before Obama was inaugurated. But even more mysterious is the divergence in the two surveys done by the Labor Department. The Household Survey showed a gain of 873,000 people employed in September - resulting in the surprise drop in the unemployment rate - while the Establishment Survey only showed a rise of 114,000. Hmmm.
