You have to be an world class ignoramus to buy into these labor statistic conspiracy theories. If Orly Taitz is a ten on a ten point conspiracy crank scale, Welch has now scored an 8.

A) Obama was never part of the the Chicago Machine -- he was considered an interloper until he made it to the Senate, and then they made peace.

B) The Chicago Machine can "fix" the numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics?

Seriously, STFU.

Logical Fallacy: appeal from authority where a premise is automatically considered truth based on the authority of the person making that statement. (E.g., Jack Welsh is a successful international businessman and his opinions must be correct because he is a successful international businessman. Yeah, the circular reasoning thing . . . . . )

Can Obama be cooking those books, too? Bet Jack Welch isn't complaining about that when he rakes in his big piles of cash.
