Let's check in on the jobs situation. If you remember, Bush's promise of 2.6 Million jobs in 2004 caused a lot of liberals to balk. Last month, I pointed out that we were right on schedule for 2.6 Million. Let's see where we stand this month.

U.S. employers hired almost a quarter-million new workers in May, swelling payrolls by nearly 1.2 million for the year so far in a jobs market steadily gaining steam ahead of November's presidential election.

I'll whip out the old calculator and extrapolate. 1,200,000 divided by 5 is 240,000. Multiply that by 12, and you get: 2,880,000. Much to the chagrin of liberals, it looks like Bush might actually beat his 2.6 Million figure. As Taranto points out, he's even beating Kerry's 10 Million jobs in 4 years figure.
