“Don't believe those phony numbers when
you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment. The number's probably 28, 29,
as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent.

Big Fat Idiot Rush Limbaugh 2/5/2016:
We have an audio sound bite here from Obama ... He was heralding first-time unemployment rate as being under 5% for the first time in seven years ... Well, there’s a reason he said it. It’s because it’s the only way you
