#1 The office suggests they will have an opportunity to revise the numbers. Chris say it will never happen again. They'll surely figure out new ways to monkey with their reported numbers, just like the federal government has monkeyed with its CPI (inflation) and unemployment reports, which have been scarcely believable for years now.

#3 Why does this surprise anyone?

It was common knowledge that the Commerce Department was cooking the GDP and employment numbers under Clinton to create the impression of a "recovery"...just like the employment numbers from Obambi's Commerce Department.

These morons are shameful and the straight faced reporting of these rectal extrapilations by the media is even more disgusting...

#4 You guys are missing my point, and the only 'surprise' of this article:

This liberal admits there was a 'directive' to misrepresent the numbers.

If 'we' don't ask the hard questions, who the hell will? (certainly not the 'media'...)

#5 Not a surprise. Have come to expect a pack of lies and Alice in Wonderland distortions coming out of Washington. What is surprising is they admit cooking the books.
