Great Expectations?
Today is Friday, 5 April 2013.
According to media's yammering heads, who know better, in today's report on jobs created, the number created didn't "live up to expectations."
It's rather like a fast-food operation of the mind: "estimates" or "predictions" are averaged together to produce a "secret sauce," which is a consensus of "experts" (who surely couldn't be incorrect).
This isn't elementary arithmetic, wherein 2 plus 4 MUST always equal 4. This is a statistical art (in the sense that the finger paintings of a five-year-old are art.)
But Obama has Failed to Meet Expectations.
Listen to the Right: Lynch the bastard.

Based on this, elementry arithmetic DOES support statistical art.
