unemployment falls,GOP cant handle it

now they are all claiming that teh number is fixed.. like some career bureaucrats in the labor dept are going to risk their jobs to fix a number just to benefit one side or the other. especially when there is no benefit to them.

If there was to be any fixin', wouldn't it have made more sense to 'fix' the numbers before the debate and shut down one of Romney favorite talking points?
