Midknight Review -- new and revised: The new "first time benefit claims" for last week are out. Ready for this?

I have no idea why I had to go looking for this week's numbers. No one is talking about them - and they are "good" for the Obama lovers.

For the first time in weeks, new claims came in under 400,000, as predicted by me, (scroll down for proof of my rather remarkable predictive abilities), 397,000 to be exact. Getting under "400,000" has only been done 10 time, since the days before the '08 elections -- 10 times out of 166 weeks, I believe.

Anyway, a little good news never hurts. Understand, that before the middle of next week, this total will be adjusted upward, probably to 400,000, on the nose. Last weeks "403,000" report was adjusted upwards, to 406,000, before the new reporting cycle began, (today. So, too, will be the story for this week, no doubt.

Let's try another prediction. The first Friday of each new month is the day the Federalis announces the unemployment percentage for the previous month. I believe the new unemployment percentage, for the nation's work force currently on unemployment benefits, will be 8.9%, below the previous 3 month reporting average of 9.1%. Good news in that regard , if my prediction holds true. The total unemployed, on and off benefits, will remain at or above 17%, however.

Let's not forget that the unemployed and underemployed number, is somewhere around 25% or 32 million Americans. Terrible.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
