Asked about the [Council of Economic Advisors’] 2.6 million jobs forecast, McClellan said, “The president is interested in actual jobs being created rather than economic modeling.”

“We are interested in reality,” McClellan said

I’m interested in actual jobs too. I’d be especially interested in, say, 2.6 million new ones. But don’t hold your breath.
