  I’d give him an incomplete at this time. I’ve been fairly impressed with most of his actions thus far, but I believe it is far too soon to judge his actions.

  Oh.. and the WND can go and boil their bottoms, sons of silly persons. Sheesh.

  I’d say he’s doing all he can with most Republican Congressmen rebuking him all the way. But at least things are getting done, which is more than I can say for the previous administration.

  Escapee. The reason things are getting done is because Obama has a democrat controlled congress. They have total control and the repubs can’t do much about it. The reason lots didn’t get done with the Bush administration in the last couple of years was also because of a democrat controlled congress. Obama is certainly getting plenty done in short order. Perhaps too much.

  Looks like the Wall Street Journal has it about right. They usually do.

  “U.S. President Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner received failing grades for their efforts to revive the economy from participants in the latest Wall Street Journal forecasting survey.”

  Phaedrus. Yep, that is the same Wall Street Journal. It is quite good. Ever read it? I thought not.

  If you dig into the details and history of this WSJ poll of economists, (doubtful that a day trader would go that deep) you find that they actually rate the economists on the accuracy of their predictions.

  The overall rating of all their surveyed economists is about 50%.

  Same as a coin toss, and just as useful for ACTUAL economic analysis.

  Worth noting, 4 in 10 of those economists surveyed think the stimulus plan was too small, and recommend a second stimulus package. About 3 in 10 of those economists in the survey say there should be no stimulus package whatsoever, nada, zip. zilch.
