GOP tells ESPN: Your show's name is wrong!

ESPN has a show called Numbers Never Lie, and after the unemployment rate was reported at 7.8% today, the GOP said that yes, those numbers are a bald face lie. Why does the GOP disbelieve the numbers? Well, actually, it started the night of the the 2008 election. The same night that Obama was elected, the GOP hierarchy decided to give the President-elect no victories to ensure that Obama would be a one-term president. So every vote that came up after the GOP won the House in 2010 that was suggested by the president was tabled, including jobs bills that would lower the unemployment rate. And every month that the unemployment rate was above 8%, which is what Obama said the rate would never get above, the GOP made sure the nation knew, and they hung the number like a noose around the president's neck. Why did Obama use this number? When the recession of 2008 was thought to be a 3.5% decline, economists thought this would be the number if the government stepped in. But when the recession came in at over a 9% decline, after the election, the unemployment rate had to go higher. But the GOP has used the 8% number anyway. But today when the unemployment number came out today at 7.8%, the GOP said that the Obama administration had cooked the books to make up for a bad debate Wednesday night. It doesn't matter that for months economists had questioned the high numbers the last 3 months. It doesn't matter that several people in the know of how the numbers are crunched have said the numbers could never be manipulated.  It didn't matter that the drop was only .3 of 1 percent, the GOP said it couldn't be true. And it had to be manipulated by the administration. No proof needed for the GOP to believe it's true. To the GOP, if the number isn't something acceptable to them, they lie. Sorry ESPN, to the GOP, that show's name is wrong: If they don't believe them, the numbers do lie.
