WELL HOW ABOUT THIS? Calif. official whose agency under-reported unemployment stats was Obama campaign donor Daily Caller ^ \| 10/18/12 \| Gregg Re Marty Morgenstern, the secretary of the California agency that substantially under-reported unemployment claims last week, contributed to President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential election campaign, The Daily Caller has learned. On Oct. 11, the federal government reported that weekly jobless claims were down significantly, suggesting a dramatic national increase in economic growth. But within hours, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that one major state had failed to fully document jobless claims. Speculation among market watchers and economists initially focused on California, but the state’s Employment Development Department strongly denied that it had failed to properly document the data. “Reports that California failed to fully report data to the U.S. Department of Labor, as required, are incorrect and irresponsible,” California Employment Development Department director Pam Harris said in a statement last week. “The California Employment Development Department, which administers the Unemployment Insurance (UI) program in the state, has reported all UI claims data and submitted the data on time.” (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

Fact Check: Obama does have Chinese investments through Cayman Island trust Kevin Danielsen October 18, 2012 3:37 pm Barack Obama has spent an awful long time (and a ton of campaign bucks) on ramming through the idea Mitt Romney is a shadowy rich figure who sneakily invests in dark companies overseas. This has been, perhaps, the most important and most stressed talking point of the Obama campaign; but all of that work, time, and funding may have been undone when Mitt Romney blasted Obama during this week’s Tuesday evening debate, saying, ”Mr. President, have you looked at your pension?” He then continued… “Let me give you some advice. Look at your pension. You also have investments in Chinese companies. You also have investments outside the United States. You also have investments through a Caymans trust.” In fact, it seems that Barack Obama does invest in Chinese companies through a Cayman Island trust. This information could not have come at a worse time, especially since election day is only 19 days away. The Politifact ‘Truth-o-Meter’ says that Romney’s comments are true: It’s an accurate set of statements when you consider investments made by managers of the Illinois pension fund in which Obama has an account. As we noted in reviewing previous claims about Romney’s investments in China, the investments involved are indirect and — as far as anybody has said — made without the knowledge of the account holder. With that clarification, we rate Romney’s statement Mostly True. The President’s only defense is that …he didn’t know. Obama certainly may not have known where the investments for his pension were based when he was in the Illinois state senate. However, if Politifact could find out, and Mitt Romney could find out, then certainly Barack Obama could find that out as well. This is what happens when your only campaign strategy is character assassination. But, it’s the only strategy you’ve got when you’ve got nothing else on which to run. ijreview.com
