Gallup CEO: I May “Suddenly Disappear” For Telling Truth About Obama Unemployment Rate (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, February 8, 2015, 9:02 AM
Gallup CEO Jim Clifton told CNBC he might “suddenly disappear” for telling the truth about the Obama unemployment rate.
The real Obama unemployment rate has never recovered and is still above 10%.
Wall Street on Parade reported:
Years of unending news stories on U.S. government programs ofsurveillance,rendition and torture have apparently chilled the speech of even top business executives in the United States.
Yesterday, Jim Clifton, the Chairman and CEO of Gallup, an iconic U.S. company dating back to 1935, told CNBC that he was worried he might “suddenly disappear” and not make it home that evening if he disputed the accuracy of what the U.S. government is reporting as unemployed Americans.
The CNBC interview came one day after Clifton had penned a gutsy opinion piece on Gallup’s web site, defiantly calling the government’s 5.6 percent unemployment figure “The Big Lie” in the article’s headline. His appearance on CNBC was apparently to walk back the “lie” part of the le and reframe the jobs data as just hopelessly deceptive.
Clifton stated the following on CNBC:
“I think that the number that comes out of BLS [Bureau of Labor Statistics] and the Department of Labor is very, very accurate. I need to make that very, very clear so that I don’t suddenly disappear. I need to make it home tonight.”
After getting that out of the way, Clifton went on to eviscerate the legitimacy of the cheerful spin given to the unemployment data, telling CNBC viewers that the percent of full time jobs in this country as a percent of the adult population “is the worst it’s been in 30 years.”
Is it any surprise?
So if it gets back down to eight like it was before Obama took office, you won't complain anymore?The various unemployment rates are discussed anytime the unemplyment rates are released. The only surprise is you just now heard about it.
I think you're just being an Obamapologist!
of course, you totally dishonest right-wingers blame the chronic, structural Euro-type USA unemployment on Obama, rather than on the VRWC's Great Banksters Depression, or on globalizaton, or the War on Employees, or on the Repugs reducing, obstructing ALL economic stimulus, all job-creation, while running a multi-year austerity (job killing) strategy at all govt levels.

What does Obama have to do with the unemployment rate?
The last uptick in the most widely reported unemployment rate was fully explained on the news as a reflection of more people entering the job market -- so what is the lie here?
Explain.
I blame it on all the threats made by democrats to raise taxes, get the evil rich, etc. They started bloviating, then took congress in 2006. Things fell to in short order.
I was responding to you saying Obama:
what EXACTLY, SPECIFICALLY did the 2006-2008 Dems ACTUALLY do to raise taxes, get the evil rich?
so you think Obama has something to do with the unemplotment rate because I mentioned Obama's taking office as a time frame for your outrage?
Kind of sad.
What a simplistoc partisan bull point of view.
what EXACTLY, SPECIFICALLY did the 2006-2008 Dems ACTUALLY do to raise taxes, get the evil rich?Nothing needed to be passed. They scared this nation into tightening wallets.I blame it on all the threats made by democrats to raise taxes
goddam, you're ing stupid.
No, I was saying you were an Obamapologiost, because you brought up his name, as if he needed defending.
Please, stop yelling into that mirror.
Obama is mentioned in the OP.
Did you actually read it, WC?
I think you are just trying to find any reason to argue.
Goodbye.
You certainly avoided saying if you thought going back to the "real" level of unemployment in 2008 would be a good thing.
