Importance of Selling the Stimulus
EmailABC News’ Rick Klein reports: The sales job on the stimulus package continues for the Obama White House — and new poll numbers hint at why.
The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll suggests increasing pessimism about the impact of the massive stimulus law on the economy. Fifty-two percent of respondents say the stimulus either has helped or will help the economy, down from 59 percent two months ago.
That’s not a huge shift. But it’s not the right direction for the President Obama, given that more money from the stimulus is going out every day.
Another worrisome sign for the White House: The right-track, wrong-track numbers have nudged back into wrong-track territory. The outlook regarding the nation’s course had been moving upward in the ABC/Post since Obama’s election; that’s no longer the case.
ABC Polling Director Gary Langer has a more complete analysis of the poll HERE.

“I believe the Taliban”
Well, that clears up any questions about your bias.

When you attempt to remake the U.S. economy and all you get is more job losses and the greatest deficit in history, you have a problem. Obama wont abort his failure, he will just get the media to help him make it appear to be a success.
