'Jobs' is not a three-letter word

On television, we hear Senator Obama's running mate, Senator Biden, saying, "As Senator Obama keeps saying, 'We are all about the three letter word, jobs, jobs jobs.'" Yet there has been no derision from the media that the word 'jobs' is a four-letter word. Come on, first graders, let's count together. It is all right to use your fingers. "Jobs" has four letters

Some of us remember the howls of laughter in the press when Vice President Quayle misspelled the word "potato." Why no howls of laughter when a liberal senator can't count the number of letters in the word jobs?
