Economists Rate Obama’s Policies Fair Or Poor?

~ The Rebel ~ 2012/01/03 22:59:16

President Barack Obama received mediocre marks for his handling of the economy in a survey of economists by The Associated Press.

The news outlet reported that the economy is struggling to recover from the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009, as the housing market remains weak, the unemployment rate is up from when Obama took office and the European debt crisis is threatening further growth.

Half of the 36 respondents to the AP survey rated Obama’s economic policies as “fair” and 13 of those surveyed called them “poor.” Only five of the economists gave the President “good” marks and none rated him as “excellent.”

The Miami Herald predicts that 2012 will be more of the same in terms of the economy, as experts have noted that it will not be much worse than 2011, but not much better.

    So .. why so /liberal/ with the very generous 'fair to poor' rating at this time?
    Must be the few who never leave those Ivory Towers .. the ones who haven't seen what is going on in cities, towns, villages and rural communities ..

    poor, he should have been working on the economy, and jobs first, instead of obamacare.
    what about the alasken pipeline deal, which could create jobs, he's dargging his feet over. oh he likes the enviornmentist groups more then he like the working people.
