Economists are more optimistic about the recovery than they were just a few months ago, significantly upgrading their forecasts for 2011 as consumers open their wallets.

When asked to predict, nine of 10 economists said they're more optimistic than three months ago, according to a USA TODAY survey of 46 economists conducted Jan. 13-19.

Things are absolutely looking up!

But will Obama-haters be happy about this, or will they hope that the U.S. economy fails in order to justify their hatred?

Obviously if you had more personal responsibility and orientation for success you would have more cash in those accounts...or do you not believe in the libertarian ideal of "You have what you earn by your own hand"?

If nine out of ten economists were pessimistic instead of optimistic, don't try to tell me you wouldn't be blaming Obama for it.

Sorry, haters, but things are getting better. I guess you'd prefer to see the country fail.
