Yahoo! News - White House Backs Off Job-Growth Forecast: "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 (news - web sites) was not a statistician.
Bush, himself, stopped short of echoing the prediction.
"I think the economy's growing, and I think it's going to get stronger," said Bush, the nation's first MBA president."
