If this had been a Republican administration the following would've happened:
a) The numbers would've never even been available on-line or in any other easy way to fact-check (the last administration, in particular, was allergic to sunshine in dark corners).
b) Even if the media had found this kind of thing in a Republican administration they would've either buried it (ala Fox) or bowed into submission to the administration.

Pete made some very valid points and in my opinion, I'd rather they flub the message but actually try to rectify the problem (which they appear to be doing) than the message be pitch-perfect but there's shenanigans behind the scenes. It's a refreshing change of pace…

The cry would have been that conservatives cannot run the government. Yet, a liberal DEmocratic administration screws up in a very public way and everyone begins to make excuses and the blame does not go very high in the administration.
