While we were busy doing something else, someone must have hollered “Dogpile on Obama and Geithner.”
First Rick Santelli jumped on the President. Then Jim Cramer and Warren Buffett piled on. Now leading economists and even the viewers of MSNBC are giving the new administration a failing grade in its handling of the economy.
It looks as if the electorate is starting to face the fact that they’ve voted in a bunch of economic illiterates. But will the media accept reality? Or for that matter, will Obama?
Will the media report on the emperor’s stark nakedness, or just keep prattling on about how great he looks on magazine covers and how beautifully he speaks from a teleprompter?
Here’s a test case: Let’s see if MSNBC will report on its own Internet poll or just flush it down the memory hole.
Go vote before it disappears.

Isn’t it just the “ODDEST thing” that that poll hovered around 60% for an “F” and very low for ‘A”, and SUDDENLY it’s 45% for F and 34% A?
Ya, for DAYS it hovered at 60% ….
I’m betting MSNBC covers this on TV when that A number trumps the F, ya think!?
GREAT site here! Keep up the good work!
What an awesome site! I’ve linked to you from my own blog. KUDOS!

Well, it’s now 39% F’s, 41% A’s. Either the true believers are coming to the rescue, or the webmaster is busy.
Hi. Z, I noticed that as well. I think that the either the webmaster is playing with the numbers (naw…. that would never happen would it?) or as Administrator said the true believers are working their fingers to the bone voting (must have learned about multiple votes from ACORN).
It’s kind of like our country’s being run, huh? Fudging the numbers and announcing a decision based on them!? YIKES!
OH, NO , Admistrator, it’s that close now!? Must be a coincidence, though….kind of like Obama’s flying to Hawaii to see his grandmother the VERY weekend that the birth cert. was sealed by the governor! OR how about Norm Coleman being up by 800 votes until the very weekend Franken suddenly flew to DC…and after that EVERY found vote was FOR HIM!!! And our MEDIA BUYS IT! ARGH!!!
It’s actually now only 31% F’s and 50% A’s.
I sure like to audit their log file. You do have that kind of change when you had the numbers with already 250,000 votes in. Something smells fishy here.
At least we have the screen capture.
