Asked about the 2.6 million jobs forecast, McClellan said, "The president is interested in actual jobs being created rather than economic modeling."


He quoted Bush as saying, "I'm not a statistician. I'm not a predictor."


"We are interested in reality," McClellan said.


another Case of "Its not My fault, They gave me Bad info"

Quite typical. Maybe you, too, will be an elite member soon, like the other name callers.

He too busy being "Troubled" about who is screwing who behind bedroom doors to care less about the Millions out of work:

Bush 'Troubled' by Gay Marriage Issue

I have watched carefully what's happening in San Francisco, where licenses were being issued, even though the law states otherwise," Bush said. "I have consistently stated that I'll support law to protect marriage between a man and a woman. Obviously these events are influencing my decision."

"I am watching very carefully, but I am troubled by what I've seen," Bush said.

He didn't answer directly when asked whether he is any closer to endorsing a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages, as conservative groups say the White House has assured them Bush will do.

Well, you picked the assgoblin avatar, I thought you were OK with it. Don't go blaming me for your mistakes.

I can.
Hell, they make stuff up all the time, why blame them for not understanding a prediction made by internal people? (ofcourse it's a stretch to blame Bush for this though)

What does "personal responsibility" have to do with an errent prediction? Gnashing of teeth while wailing ludicrous charges simply echos the desperation facing the opposition.

But that's not the most humorous aspect of smashp's post. Evidently he's decided to emulate Dave in his thread titles. From smashp's link:

Bush, himself, stopped short of echoing the prediction.

The fact is that the prediction for job growth was never one of his "own Statements" and as is usually the case, the lack of character, honesty, and integrity of the Bush haters cannot hide in the light of day. How pathetic is that? LOL

 

[smashp]

I know its not the presidents Fault, Show Me Where he said "2.6 million Jobs created is Imminent"

I guess it wasnt an "Imminent Threat."

A prediction that was used as one of the primary selling points of Bush's tax cuts.

This "prediction" was made 7 days ago.

And its the same as every other BS X.X million jobs created promise that has been made every few months for the past 4 years. Is the white house going to back off all those??

 

[Corn]

What's funny about you liberals is your complete and total inability to grasp the concept of mathmatics.

You see, first of all Bush hasn't been president for 4 years. It's been 3 and a couple handsfull of days. Bush's "primary reason" for tax cuts (which he campaigned on) is that we as consumers have a right to keep our money in the face of predicted surpluses. Only after the short recession in the wake of 9/11 did Bush present an economic package aimed to ebb the loss of jobs. That puts us at under 2 years of this so-called (by you) "primary reason" for tax cuts.

Is the white house going to back off all those??

Since when did a "prediction" become a "promise"? As I said earlier, you liberals are so desperate to find anything critical you can grasp onto that you embarass yourselves more than you damage your target. Just look at smashp's credibility plummet by his outright fictional thread title and his unapologetic response to the truth. How pathetic is that? LOL (damn, did I say that twice in the same thread? How pathetic is that? )

Ripped from another forum:

Bush: We have incontrovertible evidence that the moon is a terrorist-friendly nation. We will cease all trade with the moon, and troops will be landing any minute, with express orders to capture the leader of the moon people and bring him to justice.

Aide: psstpsstbzzbzzpss

Bush: Oh. IM NOT AN ASTRONOMER, LEAVE ME ALONE LETS ROLL

This is a bogus story. There's no way in hell Bush said the word 'statistician'.

 

[chowderhead]

well this story is just fuzzy math. +2.6 million jobs is as close to a net lost of 2.2 million jobs as a balanced budget is to -550 billion dollar deficit.

 

[DealMonkey]

LOL. Yet more bogus information out of the administration in a desperate, but ultimately pathetic attempt to shore-up support for their reckless policies. Just watch the adminstration's credibility drop like a lead weight as they'll say and/or do virtually anything to make it look like they're taking the right action. It happened with Iraq's WMD's and now it's happening with their own perceived weakness: the economy and lackluster employment data.

Interested in reality my ass, Scott.

Promise != prediction.

I guess you went to school in Georgia, huh? It's okay, we understand.

Agreed...

More so, Dave & Co along with the other commi-libs say that Bush said this. If you go back and read the original Yahoo! News article that was run by Rueters, it says...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Tuesday clarified its jobs forecast for 2004, saying it believes the economy will create around 3.8 million new jobs this year instead of the 2.6 million figure that had been widely cited by news organizations.

Testifying on Capitol Hill, White House economic adviser Gregory Mankiw said he expected "about 3 percent growth in the number of jobs over the next year. That is about average for a recovery."

...

News organizations widely reported that the forecast implied a gain in jobs of 2.6 million. But because the employment levels provided by the White House are averages, the numbers actually imply a job gain of 3.8 million from the end of 2003 until the end of 2004.

White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan confirmed 3.8 million was a valid figure for the White House's jobs projection.

...

Anthony Chan, a private economist with Banc One Investment Advisors, in Columbus, Ohio, said he would view the expectation for job gains of 320,000 a month "a bit excessive." His own forecast is for a job gain of 1.4 percent to 1.9 percent. That works out to be 150,000 to around 200,000 a month.

............

Looks like the programmed message that is spun out on the nightly news by Clinton, Brokaw, Kerry and Dave & Co is working, because the commi-libs don't even realize the 2.6 million number was manufactured by the media and not the President.
