its true... admins sound stupid when they try to make the polls sound stupid or biased (however it is ALSO true that some in this thread had no problem reversing the logic about 1 and 1/2 years ago... but no matter)
but the real issue is the polls. They look about the same as Reagan's polls did when HE took over in the middle of a big slump.
Unfortunately for Obama, his recession wasn't manufactured by the fed, and so he doesn't have the luxury of knowing that the economy will shoot back up as soon as the Fed turns the spickot back on... the fed already shot its wad stopping the world from imploding, the only direction the fed can go now is tighter (the question is WHEN)
As always, Obama's numbers will recover when the economy's numbers do... too bad for him that THAT looks to be a sluggish slog.
