Hundreds of Leading Economists Disagree with Obama

WedNEWSday - February 4, 2009

On January 9th, President Obama said, “There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy.”  On Friday, Cato Institute took out full page ads in several national newspapers where hundreds of leading economists, including Nobel laureates tell Obama he is wrong. 

I’ve always liked the term, “With all due respect…,” because when you hear those words together, you know the imminent “blast” is on its way.  Maybe Mr. Obama can enroll in Econ 101 at The University of Phoenix, they’re in D.C. aren’t they?  If not, he could take it on his Blackberry.
