In case you were still worried that there's too much science going on in the White House: Asked about the [Council of Economic Advisors'] 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 I'm interested in actual jobs too. I'd be especially interested in, say, 2.6 million new ones. But don't hold your breath.
