Seems all those economists that the Left was quoting have left the building:

Interesting. Apparently, the vast majority of these people were rah-rah Obama after his election.

Quote:
The economists' negative ratings mark a turnaround in opinion. In December, before Mr. Obama took office, three-quarters of respondents said the incoming administration's economic team was better than the departing Bush team. However, Mr. Geithner's latest marks are lower than the average grade of 57 that former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson received in January.
So, we're basically screwed. The Obamaphiles countered his lack of real experience with his "intelligence" and talent for putting together brilliant teams to get everything done. Guess that's been proven false, too. We've got a neophyte in the Oval Office who can't even choose qualified, effectual team players.

I don't care what Wall Street or their right wing rag, the WSJ think. They don't get to elect a President. We do.

Yes, this is what happens when Bohemians achieve suffrage.

Roubini claims we are close to a depression, and has not been kind in his daily RGE Monitor to Obama. Your thoughts?

Dude, I'm being sarcastic

Roubini and Krugman are Keynesian.
