Word is out that the Obama White House missed its estimate on the size of the ten year deficit. Unfortunately, if will not be $7 trillion, but more like $9 trillion. A trillion here, a trillion there . . . .
The story is breaking everywhere: Blue Crab Boulevard has its say; Drudge has this report from Reuters as a big, bold headline.
Let's not worry though. Its a weekend of football, the beach, party time, and forgetting about the weekday grind and daily news. This story will bleed all weekend to a distracted electorate. By the time the White House issues something official, the news will trickle into the state-run mainstream media as a lukewarm story.
BTW The president left for a ten day vacation in Martha's Vineyard a few hours before this story broke. Very convenient, but rather obvious. I suspect the people will catch on.
