The Victoria Advocate : Bush predicts 2.6 million new jobs this year

"If the jobs forecast comes true, it will represent the first year of the Bush presidency in which there will be a net increase in payroll jobs. Since he took office, the country has lost 2.2 million payroll jobs.

On the campaign stump, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry said Bush had the worst jobs record of the last 11 presidents and the rosy view of the economy presented in the new report was probably 'prepared by the same people who brought us the intelligence on Iraq.'"
