Let's talk "painful"...

So, the unemployment rate nationally is reported by both the White House Press Secretary and Obama himself to have "fallen" by 1/10th of 1% in the month of July... even though there were 247,000 newly unemployed citizens in the US AND new job numbers have been shown to have fallen more than 1.5% since June.

What kind of math does one need to use to get THAT result? More people not working than working in a given month... and fewer new jobs for them to take up... and this equals lower unemployment? How?

More importantly, when is the GOP going to ask that same question?
