Interesting cliam from the White House

MR. McCLELLAN: Good afternoon, everybody. I want to begin with one thing the President mentioned last night in his remarks, and then I'll introduce our special guest for the day.

Last night the President let our troops know that during this time of testing, the American people stand firmly behind them. This July 4th is a time for all Americans to express their support and gratitude by thanking our men and women in uniform. The President last night talked about the Department of Defense website, Americasupportsyou.mil, and this is a website where people can find out about ways they can support our troops in their local communities across the country.

After the President's speech last night, the website was experiencing more than 10,000 hits per second. Prior to the speech, it was about 103 hits per second. The President greatly appreciates the response from the American people, and encourage everybody to do what they can to continue to support our troops, particularly those who are in harm's way.



Amazing.

That would be 600,000 hits a minute.

or

36 Million an hour

or

864 Million a day.

Wait a minute, you're saying the White House would exaggerate something just to help the president look better? But, but...that would be dishonest or something!

No one is stupid enough to try such an bold lie. It has to be a miscommunication.
