    A majority of the 49 economists polled said they were dissatisfied with the administration's economic policies, according to the paper, a stark contrast to Obama's popularity ratings with the general public.

    On average, the economists gave the president a grade of 59 out of 100, and although there was a broad range of marks, 42 percent of respondents rated Obama below 60, the paper said.

    I bet these the same "economists" who foresaw the economic mess were are in now right. Or the same economists that lost 50% of my 401k? Once again proving West Side Steve can't think for himself.

    I took a poll. Out of 100 people, half of them are dumb shits that believe everything they read. And 10 of them actual know who got us in the economic mess we are in now. THE PEOPLE WHO GOT US IN THIS MESS ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO TOOK YOUR POLL ABOVE. Then they say Obama is not doing a good job (after 54 days mind you) of fixing THEIR MESS. Classic.

    More proof of the immature mudslinging coming from Steve. I really laughed out loud there Stevie, nice work.

    Cut and paste from a Reuters story.

    It wasn't a public opinion poll.

    But then idiots often laugh for little or no reason.

    Seriously why would I?

    Sure things were getting bad for a few years.

    Now Obama and his team of morons is making it worse.

    If it was bad to eat a stick of butter a day eating two sticks isn't making things better.

    Not even keeping it the same.

    My point is that as bad as things may have gotten under Bush, they are getting worse under Obama.

    Pure and simple.

    Are you being obtuse on purpose or do you honestly disagree?

    Really? How Bush's 800 Billion dollar fiasco was 87 billion less then Obama's. How much have we spent on 2 "wars"? 3 trillion. How do you figure? Your affiliation has clouded your mind, sort of like a gangbanger.

    Offend me?

    As I say (and you wish to ignore) the market rises and falls.

    Nearly every 6 or so years.

    We shall come out of this in due time.

    I don't like the look of the plans the Obama is implementing, so my concern FWIW is long term.

    I think it's overreaching.

    The Bush team never had this kind of power; the split in the houses was too close.

    I don't know if you're speaking as an actual Ron Paul supporter or just a guy who tossed the vote but I'm discussing what we have to deal with today.
