"60 Minutes" In-depth Report on Unemployed and Underemployed in America: 17.5%; California 22%

The first question that comes to mind is "Why would 60 minutes do an article like this right before the election?" That makes no sense out of CBS. They are reporting something we have suspected all along that the actual rate is much higher than the Administration wants to admit.

It is actually shocking like Bretbart.com says that CBS would do this report, but what is their ulterior motive? Is the plan by Obama and his advisors to have the Republicans take over Congress so he can blame them when he doesn't get something passed? It worked for Bill Clinton who moved to the center but it will never work for Obama as he has no clue from his recent statements what it takes to work together. He is way too arrogant demanding Republicans come to his way of thinking. If CBS is doing this thinking they will see a Bill Clinton lite running in 2012, they are dead wrong. Or do they want Hillary running instead of Obama.

If anyone can figure it out, please feel free to post your comments because for now we are at a loss as to why CBS would report this one week before the election.
