U.S. Jobs Report Exaggerated

U.S. President Barack Obama
Several mainstream news outlets are reporting, U.S. President Barack Obama touting today's national job report, as proof the recovery is working, is a fraudulent claim. The economy added 500,000 jobs, but the majority of those positions, 411,000 posts, were for seasonal Census report workers. Translation, those were very temporary jobs.
Obama's claims have thus been disproved. The President needs to stop relying on artificial results and get to the root of the real problem at hand, as pretending the unemployment problem is solved, when it is not, will only cause more damage in the long run and do greater harm to the American people.
It is time to develop a sensible job plan, where the nation can create the maximum amount of jobs for the money allotted by Congress, without waste and misappropriation occurring again.
May jobs report: Census inflates payrolls
June 4, 2010: 2:20 PM ET - NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A flood of temporary Census workers in May led to the biggest jump in jobs in ten years, the government reported Friday. Employers added 431,000 jobs in the month, up from 290,000 jobs added in April. It was the biggest gain in jobs since March 2000.
But Census hiring was responsible for 411,000 of May's increase in employment. Private sector employers also added 41,000 jobs in the period, well below the 218,000 private sector job gains in April. Government payrolls other than Census declined by 21,000 jobs in May, due largely to job cuts by state and local governments.
It was a disappointing number for private sector hiring, as economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast an overall gain of 500,000 in May. U.S. stocks traded sharply lower on the report, with the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 200 points in midday trading...

Obama Chooses Black As Race On Census Form

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama, chose black as his race, when filling out a national census form this week. This event made the news, as Obama is half white and black. However, many biracial people of that heritage, often choose black, due to long held rules in U.S. history ("One drop rule").

Over the past few months, the U.S. government has undertaken a big push to get the word out to the public, that it seeks to gain as much information as possible to compile accurate records on the composition of the nation.

Declaring His Race on the U.S. Census, Barack Obama Choose "Black"

Submitted by Leader Staff on April 3, 2010 - 3:45pm. News Politics U.S. Government U.S. Politics White House

A White House spokesman confirmed that when President Obama, the son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, filled out the 2010 census questionnaire, he checked "African-American".

President Obama was born in Hawaii, and was raised there as well as in Indonesia. In responding to Question 9 about race, he was presented with more than a dozen options. He could have checked off white, both black and white, or checked the last category on the form "some other race", which he would then have to identify in writing. But Obama chose to check off only "Black, African Am., or Negro", and did not identify with his Caucasian roots...
