      The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the unemployment rate fell to 7.8% in September from 8.1% in August. Five minutes after the BLS release, Welch tweeted: "Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers." His tweet suggested the numbers were manipulated because of the President's poor debate performance in Denver. His tweet has generated quite a bit of controversy. To clarify his "gut feelings," he wrote an op/ed in The Wall Street Journal entitled "I Was Right About That Strange Jobs Report."
