Gretchen Carlson Suggests Pres. Obama Will Use Hurricane To Delay Jobs Report

There is no depth to which Fox & Friends will not sink in its efforts to smear the president. Before the extent of Hurricane Sandy's impact was fully known, on Monday morning, Gretchen Carlson pimped yet another Fox & Friends right wing conspiracy. Forget "poll trutherism." The newest conspiracy is an iteration of the Fox advanced conspiracy which claims the Obama administration is doctoring the employment figures. According to former Miss America and Fox "friend," Gretchen Carlson, the president could use the hurricane to delay Friday's jobs report until after the election because, presumably, he doesn't want bad job numbers to affect the election. Her proof - er - nothing.

During a discussion about the jobs report, with Fox Business' Charles Payne, Gretch asked if "there would be an incentive to not release" the data. Payne gave out with a loud and long belly laugh and said that he thought Gretch was "asking the wrong person." Gretch thanked him for the laugh amongst "all this devastation." She continued: "It just comes top of mind."

As that truly estimable former vice-president, Dan Quayle, said, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste!"

Well, it’s Friday, Nov. 2, 8 am. The jobs report was released. A well deserved slap in the face for skanky retchin gretchin and her fellow cesspool dwellers…President Obama did not “use the hurricane to delay the report”.

171K jobs created in Oct. Unemployment is up 0.1%, but still below 8%. How soon before the FoxGOPTV pukes and GOPiggies accuse President Obama of “cooking the numbers”? And listen, pukes, if he was “cooking the numbers” why wouldn’t he cook them to say that unemployment dropped to 7%?

@kathy Robinson, Well, yeah, we all know that the president and his administration do not release those numbers. But the mindless FoxGOPTV sheep are led to believe that they do.

The president and his administration do not release those numbers.

Let’s see, last month the twist was the Obama machine faked the job numbers. This month for some reason they are going to delay the numbers?

If they faked September, why don’t they fake October as well?

’splain that to me Foxies, why the new paranoid adventure? Is it because the last delusion was a big fail?

@doors17, I’m predicting that when the numbers come out as scheduled on Friday morning, Retchin Gretchin and her fellow FoxFiends will claim that their accusation pressured Obama to release the numbers.

Retchin sez: You don’t need facts or proof if you let them look up your skirt every day.

Is it just me (I say that with extreme sarcasm) that Gretchen and everyone at Fox would be absolutely thrilled if the unemployment rate went back above 8%?

doors17 commented 2012-10-31 19:04:05 -0400 · Flag

So when the numbers come out as scheduled on Friday morning we can all look forward to Gretchen admitting she was wrong and apologizing to the President for making such a stupid statement.

Right Gretchen?

It’s obvious that Patel is NOT a teacher.

OR, maybe Patel is. I’ve read about teachers who pass their pets who can barely string together a marginally coherent sentence while flunking the student with the incredibly insightful research paper who, unfortunately, had a single misspelling and inadvertently single-spaced a line when he should’ve double spaced and failed to keep the right margin perfectly straight.

(Then again, what passes for “researches every topic thoroughly & does homework before going on-air” at FoxNoise would only merit a passing grade in any high school English class if the teacher were being pressured by the football coach and the school administration worried that the school’s star player might not be playing in that week’s “Big Game.”)

Unfortunately for the Fox-O-philes, President Obama is a member of the Half-Black Culture Club, which some say specializes in spells and ritualistic ceremonies, some of which involve sex with GIANT appendages! (Or, so I’ve been told.)
Reportedly, using these amazing powers, President Obama was able to conjure up Hurricane Sandy, strictly intended as an event to distract the viewers from the more important issues such as Benghazi and the inherent goodness and truth of Mitt Romney.
Some have also said that something even more frightening is planned for the day after he wins the election.

Oh gawd. skanky Retchin Gretchin is just parroting what some other FoxGOPTV puke oinked on Monday. It’s not surprising that the skank is a few days late in her dumbass accusation.

Gorgeous Gretchen Carlson is one of the most perceptive & assiduous reporters in the news business. She doesn’t just pontificate or shoot from her shapely hip. She researches every topic thoroughly & does her homework before going on-air.

Yesterday, that show was more concerned with how much it would cost to fix the damage than they were about the people who were confirmed dead/injured. And they blew off people who are now homeless. They’re a truly compassionate lot.
