Economists give Obama and Geithner failing grades
Maybe Obama should have, you know, actually hired someone with some real Economics knowledge rather than Geithner. Those who actually know what they are doing have rated Obama and Geithner as pathetic, miserable failures on the economy. Ironically, being intellectual/academic types, most of these goons probably voted for Obama. Yea, not so smart now, are ya?!
In striking contrast to President Obama’s popularity with the public, a new Wall Street Journal survey of economists gives the president and his treasury secretary failing grades. WSJ’s Phil Izzo and Kelly Evans discuss.
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 best part of the article is when they say that this survey stands in “stark contrast” to Obama’s popularity with the “public.” Yea! That’s because the public is STUPID!!!! If the American public weren’t a bunch of brooding morons with their hands out and mouths open, they never would have elected that know-nothing fool in the first place.
