. During a March hearing of the Senate Finance Committee, Chairman Max Baucus challenged Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on the formula.

"You created a situation where you cannot be wrong," said the Montana Democrat. "If the economy loses two million jobs over the next few years, you can say yes, but it would've lost 5.5 million jobs. If we create a million jobs, you can say, well, it would have lost 2.5 million jobs. You've given yourself complete leverage where you cannot be wrong, because you can take any scenario and make yourself look correct."

I suppose you will say that Baucus is partisan and wrong on the subject too?

or he'll just point out how you avoided answering the question he asked.

we all make mistakes. it's okay to admit them. then the conversation moves on.

or you could throw up another non-sequitur quote.

The Obama administration warned at the height of the stimulus debate that without the recovery package, the jobless rate would hit 8.8 percent in 2010 -- advisers had said the recovery package could hold unemployment to 7 percent.

The assessment was the same as what Obama’s economists forecast in January, when they predicted that the economic stimulus would prevent unemployment from rising above 8 percent. But unemployment reached 8.9 percent in April and the chairwoman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Christina Romer, said over the weekend that current predictions that unemployment would reach 9.5 percent were “pretty realistic.

And where is your Obama quote? Now anyone who is categorized as an Obama economist by any media qualifies? Come on Chuck, you're better than that.

I never said that Obama himself said it. Reread my post. Stop being petty and admit that Obama's people made this statement. Do you really think the AP and WSJ would print that assertion without it having been said? They made the statement that unemployment wouldnt go over 8% when talking up the stimulus package. If you guys would actually listen to what these people say maybe you wouldn't b so taken with his eloquent speeches.

This is Obama's team's assessment of th stimulus packages effect on unemployment. On page 5 reference the graph. Better than quotes, actual visual evidence.
