White House downplays job predictions

Remember how the white house said we're in a boom now? a recovery that would create 2.6 million new jobs? well they want you to forget about all of that. we're no where near that:

The White House backed away Wednesday from its own prediction that the economy will add 2.6 million new jobs before the end of this year, saying the forecast was the work of number-crunchers and that President Bush was not a statistician.

um, ok. so did you just make that up using some kinda wish, hope, and dream?
