For the Thirtieth Time, the Obama Administration Admonishes Voters Not to Read Too Much into One Month’s Jobs Numbers (http://www.redstate.com/jeff_emanuel/2012/07/06/for-the-thirtieth-time-the-obama-administration-admonishes-voters-not-to-read-too-much-into-one-months-jobs-numbers/)
Of course, the Obama administration immediately responded to the anemic report by warning against taking one month’s numbers too seriously, saying, “Therefore, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report and it is informative to consider each report in the context of other data that are becoming available.”
If that admonition sounds familiar, it’s because you’ve heard it before, almost word for word – on thirty separate occasions. That’s right: of the forty-one economic turmoil-filled months Barack Obama has been president, thirty have been followed by almost identical cautions not to take any individual month’s numbers too seriously.

May 2012: “Therefore, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report and it is helpful to consider each report in the context of other data that are becoming available.”
April 2012: “Therefore, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report and it is helpful to consider each report in the context of other data that are becoming available.”
March 2012: “Therefore, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report, and it is helpful to consider each report in the context of other data that are becoming available.”
February 2012: “Therefore, as the Administration always stresses, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report; nevertheless, the trend in job market indicators over recent months is an encouraging sign.”
January 2012: “Therefore, as the Administration always stresses, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report; nevertheless, the trend in job market indicators over recent months is an encouraging sign.”

November 2009: “Therefore, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report, positive or negative.”
Once again, out of 41 months, that’s 30 warnings not to take monthly jobs reports too seriously. With unemployment sitting at 8.2 percent, and the election only four months away, the verdict is already in, and it’s not based on “any one monthly report, positive or negative.” It’s based on a record nearly four years long – a record that clearly shows this president can’t be trusted with this economy any longer.
