The media is pushing back the benchmark on Obama's promise to create"600,000 in the next 100 days". Specifically the time frame for that specified 100 days. At least it seems they are trying to push back the benchmark.
Using the administrations own math, this would give them 70 days to create those 600,000 jobs originally promised. I already posted about this
here.
I post about this again since
I'm seeing an article today using the 100 days benchmark,
yet not stating this benchmark originated a month ago. In this same article, the WaPo is still parroting the adminstration line that the current stimulus is STILL going to "create or save" 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year. Just doing the simple math on that would mean the adminstration would have to be "creating" about 200K jobs every month on average. This also isn't taking into account the over 1,000,000 jobs lost over the last five months. But let's not not a little thing like math gunk up the works, the administration doesn't...
The Obama administration has a penchant for having expiration dates for all of the policies and campaign promises. In this particular case, the MSM seems to be pushing back the implementation date.
