Latest Job Numbers Better Than Expected

Jobs jumped 171,000 in October,with unemployment staying statistically even at 7.9%

That job growth is slightly higher than the 2012 average growth of 157,000 per month.

Adding to the optimism, August job growth was revised upward from the reported 142,000 to the more current 192,000, and job growth for September was also revised upward from 114,000 to 148,000.

    Lockheed Martin is laying off 123,000 workers just weeks before Christmas.

    This needs to go far and wide before Early Voting starts.

    The President is trying to hold off any announcement until after the election. This will make a significant increase to the questionable 7.8 % Unemployment number.

    Lockheed is going to lay off 123,000 defense workers due to Obama's downsizing of the military. This hit the Drudge report yesterday.

    The law requires Lockheed to give 60-day notice to all to-be-fired employees within 60 days. That drop dead date would be November 1st. Since this would be devastating for his reelection, Obama has promised that our government would cover all Lockheed severance packages to fired employees if Lockheed would not release the names and locations of those losing their jobs until after the election! Do you have any idea how many millions that will cost the taxpayer? Thank you Obama!!
