That would be...The *President's* Council on Economic Advisers? The one
whose reports the President signs?

The President did not suggest the reclassification.

The President did not endorse the Council's findings.

The Congress and the President select the Council's membership.

Don't even try to lay this on the President.



How would *you* know what Bush suggested, supported or endorsed?
The CEA is a reflection of the current Administration, buddyboy, and the
current Administation is going to take the lumps for its council's gaffes.


"Gregory Mankiw, chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers,
which compiled the report, did not respond Thursday to a request for an
interview. The White House press office also had no comment."

I cannot find any endorsement of the President of the Council's conclusion.
Please direct me to a source/site showing he agrees with their assessment on
fast food jobs.

BTW, I remind you again that the CEA members are picked by Congress and the
President. To say that the Councils' findings are reflective of the
Presidents beliefs is totally absurd.
