Amazing.

Even among republican economists surveyed, Obama garners more support...

Read the whole thing for a giggle.

2. Is this to appear on Free Republic?

I think they have a right to know too, as pitiful as they may be.

3. Whut? Whats an economononister?

Don't trouble them with facts. It's like trying to teach a worm to recite shakespeare. Just laugh at them.

This is not surprising really. Most economists have for years been calling for more support for the middle class and more regulation.

4. I was banished from Freeperville... but im sure they will insist it is biased

They either deny the existence of the poll or try to discredit it. The latter is their usual method.

5. oh, also... some will say the mag "liberal"

7. But, Sarah Palin told Fox News she reads the Economist when she

had her do over with Carl Cameron on Friday...

[Essene]

8. that's probably because somebody slapped her with THIS edition on friday

6. ELITISTS!

What the hell do these "economists" know about the economy? We need Sarah in Washington to do some "shakin' and fixin'" on Wall Street. America is a country of stupid people! We need leaders who represent US.

9. they are ACADEMICS!
