Wasn't it Newsweek that predicted a new ice age? The recession may be over and I hope it is, although I doubt it very much. We probably have higher to go on the dow, but we are still well within the parameters of a bear market rally. At any rate if you rely on Newsweek for your economic news your are foolish. lj

Rasmussen: Obama Double-Digit Negatives Sunday, July 26, 2009 3:07 PM Article Font Size A new Rasmussen Reports poll shows that Barack Obama's rating in Rasmussen's Presidential Approval Index has hit negative double digits for the first time. The survey found that 29 percent of voters strongly approve of Obama's job performance, while 40 percent strongly disapprove. Rasmussen calculates its Presidential Approval Index by subtracting the "strongly disapprove" figure from the "strongly approve" figure. As a result, Obama's overall score is a minus-11. That's the first time his rating has reached negative double digits. Other results of the poll: 49 percent somewhat approve of Obama's performance. 50 percent disapprove of Obama's performance. 76 percent see Obama as liberal. 48 percent see Obama as very liberal. 54 percent primarily blame former President George W. Bush for America's economic woes. 25 percent say the U.S. economy has been aided by the economic stimulus package. 53 percent oppose the Democratic healthcare reform package. 37 percent say deficit reduction should be Obama's top priority. 20 percent say healthcare should be Obama's top priority.

ken...."Newsweek has declared "The Recession Is Over""... Note ken that pelosi the stupid says the first stimulus has not yet been used! was it even necessary? Pelosi does not favor second economic stimulus Sun Jul 26, 2009 reuters.com WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not favor a second economic stimulus package, she said in an interview broadcast on Sunday. Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," the House Democratic leader said: "I would rather just stick with the initiative that we have, get it out faster if we can, but not worry about doing another stimulus package." Some Democrats and economists have said more stimulus is needed in addition to the $787 billion package adopted in January because unemployment, currently at 9.5 percent, has risen faster than previous anticipated.
