Paranoid or observant?

It's funny how those two are so hard to differentiate.
Case in point, Purple Avenger notices something, Obama's GDP and other economic numbers keep being revised downward, usually to little fanfare.

So I thought, gee, it seems to me that Bush' numbers were always revised too, but upward. So I did a search at using Ace's URL, lo and behold, I remembered correctly. story after story of numbers revised upward, 8 years worth.

So not only were many people in the CIA, State Dept nd of course, those in the Dept of whoever is in charge of federal parks and land management fighting a war against Bush, there appear to be a bunch of people in the Dept of Commerce too.

No matter who's elected, lefties are very powerful in our gov't and do all they can, even to the perversion of their duties, to get leftists elected.
That pisses me off.

2 I dunno about a bureaucratic conspiracy in the BLS or other Alphabet Soup agencies. But the MSM coverage was disgraceful

The headline government data is largely garbage, so I don't pay much attention to it. While it wouldn't surprise me to see political manipulation of data, a less nefarious explanation could be simple lag.

Lag could easily make sense, as Bush mostly governed during boom times and Obama during bust times, therefore revisions would tend to be up for Bush and down for Obama.

The MSM coverage of the data is, of course, a total farce.

4 Dammit HD, stop playing with my paranoid conspiracy theory.

That probably explains it better, but we did see the other wars.

Like the selective leaking from CIA and State and selective shutting ups from same, like Holbrooke staying silent for years on who leaked Secret Agent 0000000000007 as the media, who also knew who leaked, savaged Cheney and Rove.
Interior just messed with his regs and kept implementing their own.

That's why Utah is doing their eminent domain thing against fed lands.

That's why it was easy for me to think that.
Well, that and my innate paranoia.
Paranoia is a good, my usual fear is that I'm not paranoid enough.
