I see you find it necessary to drool your opinion of one subject many times in the course of a day. You truly a Parrot, but you are becoming less than a useful idiot. At least you can keep the title Idiot. It becomes you!

Can one number be declared a range, Kenneth? LOL! Obama's approval will remain in the 60% range. Btw, it appears that the DNC only gave you one talking point for today. What a loyal DNC parrot you are. LOL! Diz-

Take a minute out of your busy poll polishing schedule, and tell us what you think of the Thin Man's "real" position on budget busting earmarks.....And yeah, we know republicans are in on it also....screw them too.

Obama, Geithner Get Low Grades From Economists By PHIL IZZO Barack O-bama and tax cheaterTreasury Secretary Timothy Geithner received failing grades for their efforts to revive the economy from participants in the latest Wall Street Journal forecasting survey. The economists' assessment stands in stark contrast with Mr. Obama's popularity with the public, with a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll giving him a 60% approval rating. A majority of the 49 economists polled said they were dissatisfied with the administration's economic policies. On average, they gave the president a grade of 59 out of 100, and although there was a broad range of marks, 42% of respondents rated Mr. Obama below 60. Mr. Geithner received an average grade of 51. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke scored better, with an average 71. The economists, many of whom have been continually surprised by the depth of the downturn, also pushed back yet again their forecasts for when a recovery would begin. On average, they expect the downturn to end in October. Last month, they said the bottom would arrive in August. They estimate that U.S. gross domestic product will continue to contract in the first half of this year, with slow growth returning in the third quarter. Economists were divided over whether the $787 billion economic-stimulus package passed last month is enough. Some 43% said the U.S. will need another stimulus package on the order of nearly $500 billion. Others were skeptical of the need for stimulus at all.
