Jim Clifton (Gallup CEO) Calls Job Numbers "Big Lie"

Here's an interesting story that got sidelined quite quickly. Jim Clifton, the CEO of Gallup, basically says the White House is lieing about the job numbers on purpose ie to create a feel good factor they hope will bolster the economy. Interestingly, the URL has changed since (omitting the words big lie, presumably to hurt SEO potential):

Later Jim Clifton, comes back and "completely retracts his statement" saying on CNBC he thinks the figures are very, very accurate and that: “I need to make that very, very clear so that I don’t suddenly disappear. I need to make it home tonight.”

Some have suggested that he might have been referred to the banker suiciding that's been going down:
