Quite true ST, but the fact of the matter is that no matter what Bush offers up as a number, the Dems will howl about it.
If the number is too low, the Dems will claim he's not creating enough jobs.
If the number is too high, the Dems claim that his policies are a failure or not being carried out properly.
If the number is high, and the goal is met, the Dems will claim that the original number was lower than they would have been able to meet.
Bush and his cabinet always get into trouble when they let themselves be painted into a corner by the Dems. They would be much better served by telling the Dems to sit back, shut up, and watch while we drive the country.
As long as the overall numbers are going back up, most Americans will be happy.
