that's weird because from what i've heard in the tinderbox he looked like a moron fumbling over his words.

[it must suck having America against you.

actually historically having america against you from an intellectual perspective is actually a pretty good place to be

I really doubt that is an accurate poll. Go to FOX news and grab a poll and see what it states.

It must really suck to have ignorant people actually thinking that Obama is going to fix this Economy that has been put in place my MANY Administrations in the works.

fffffffffffff

If you are going to quote what I said, quote it right. I NEVER said that going to FOX news that the poll would be accurate.

ALL THOSE POLLS ARE BS. It is just from website viewers clicking the polls. If you have more dems on CBS then of course it will be up, as Fox will have more Repub.

[Fiz]

why would dems go to cbs

[PackCat]

I was just saying... That FOX is primarly a Republican point of view.
CBS, ABC, and NBC try to stay neutral but IN MY OPINION they sway towards the Democratic view.

I have no clue who watches what, but I wonder how may people participated in that poll upthread?

Don't worry rodeo, one day president Obama might get to match bush's 90% post-911 approval rating.

Striving to be like W should be his #1 goal.

I know who the 20 percent who don't are...they work on Wall Street.

So 17% of those polled are stupid enough to be swayed by a speech. Those are probably the same people who were sold those option arm mortgages that they couldn't afford.

Lack of sleep does that to me.

Where are the economic experts?

There were plenty of familiar faces on-screen during TV coverage of President Obama's economic-stimulus plan, such people as James Carville, Laura Ingraham, Karl Rove, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Joe Trippi and Dick Morris.

What it lacked, some critics suggest, were people with real expertise in what the $787 billion plan will mean for the economy and for communities and individuals. In short, it was treated like just another political battle.

Of the 681 people who appeared as guests on 12 cable-news and four network Sunday-morning talk shows in the three weeks that ended last Sunday, only 41, or 6 percent, were economists, said Media Matters for America, a liberal media watchdog.

Media Matters didn't keep track of interview subjects on the most-watched newscasts, the broadcast-networks' nightly programs, but the conservative Media Research Center did. About 13 percent of the people interviewed on economic recovery between Obama's election and final passage of the bill were economists, the group said

So basically the commentors were mostly a bunch of political animals who were more interested in the style than substance of the speech.

I never watch Fox News, but given the criticism it gets here, I thought this blurb was interesting.

Two shows the group monitored, with CNN's Anderson Cooper and Campbell Brown as the hosts, had no economists during the three-week period. By far, the most economists on any show (10) were on Fox's new Glenn Beck show.

It's hard to take you seriously with that Fire Marshal Jordan avatar. Whatever happened to the frog?
