Hair-splittin'

Spinning the fractions:

The White House is really getting specific when it comes to the unemployment rate. Rather than 8.3% -- the rounded-up figure -- Obama economic adviser Alan Krueger writes on the White House website that the real jobless rate is 8.254%.

No, Alan: the real unemployment rate is over 11 percent. Do you think we've forgotten that you bunch of donkeys just ignore people who haven't been employed in two years?

It's a good sign that a leftist rag like USA Today is starting to mock the Obamaites -- albeit ever-so-gently and with a healthy dose of GOP-bashing to balance out the taste. It means that ol' chimp ears is likely in for a really bad day come the first Tuesday in November.
