The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations: Obama Boldly Promises to Create or "Preserve" 2.5 Million Jobs by 2011
Not a joke. The real headline from the WaPo:
Obama Sets Expansive Goal for Jobs
Plan Aims to Create or Save 2.5 Million Positions by 2011
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, if Obama creates zero jobs by 2011, he has achieved his goal, as he "preserved" the 2.5 million jobs not lost.
Indeed, if he loses 2.5 million jobs, he preserved the additional 2.5 million jobs that would have been lost absent his lightworking economic policies.
Unbelievable.
And the WaPo carries this spin as a headline on page one.
The MSM will hold Obama's feet to the fire and demand that he rises to the level of performance of the average DMV worker. And they will not relent on this high bar for success.
In related news, Obama vows that he will not rest until Osama bin Ladin is either killed, captured, or comfortable.

Why aim so low? With this standard, he can claim to create or save 100 million jobs and be teh greatest President evar before he even takes office.
