And here we thought the mystery of who’s in charge at Labor was resolved when Congress finally voted to confirm now-former Congresswoman Hilda Solís, after making her wait for almost two months while they investigated all kinds of crap they disregarded when the white guy now over at Treasury came up for a vote.

In case you’ve been living in a cave, this is what she looks like:

But apparently NO ONE at the Obamatron White House brain trust knows who she is, ’cause they release the numbers on unemployment and the economy, etc., etc.; her VERY FIRST COMMENTS on the whole thing, and we apparently have to guess what the hell her name is:

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARY OF LABOR REGARDING THE MONTHY EMPLOYMENT SITUATION REPORT

“Today we learned that our economy lost another 651,000 jobs in February, bringing the unemployment rate to 8.1 percent. 4.4 million Americans have now lost their jobs since this recession began last year, and there are now nearly 3 million Americans who have been unemployed for six months or more.

This data does not just represent abstract statistics. Rather it illustrates the struggles of millions of Americans who do not know how they will raise their families, or pay their bills and mortgages. They are the central focus of this Administration’s economic policies, and why we are moving swiftly and aggressively to jumpstart job creation and grow our economy.

As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, President Obama and I have already moved to increase unemployment insurance benefits and to extend the duration of unemployment insurance. In addition, I am announcing today that the Labor Department is making available more than 3 and a half billion dollars to states for education, training and reemployment services….”

Bla bla bla bla bla….

AND ON TOP OF THAT, THEY CAN’T EVEN SPELL “MONTHLY.”

The Monthy Employment Situation Report. WTF?!!!

   You’re getting worked up over nothing. Yes, Solís is not from their top drawer (she owes her appointment to the AFL-CIO), but they are not “Obamatrons.”

   Besides, nobody ever pays attention to what the secretary of labor has to say about unemployment, unless her name is Elaine Chao and she’s living on Planet Cheney and what she says is too funny to ignore.

   When they spell correctly they will stop being Obamatrons.
   And of course people pay attention to what the secretary of labor says about unemployment.
   and of course this was too funny to ignore…
