I prefer to hear the REAL unemployment number, not the cleaned up one that DOES not include the unemployed who gave up looking...it does not include those who are unemployed and no longer collecting unemployment.

Political definitions = suspect information, as usual.

And the assessment that there is a trigger that has some in defense mode no matter the subject or intent. See how many consistently go to the retro measure mode (usually Bush labeled in some manner) or just out and out totally and completely of the topic. Very, VERY consistent.
