      "The economists' main criticism of the Obama team centered on delays in enacting key parts of plans to rescue banks, the paper said." Economists Give Obama Low Marks (AOL)

      Also from AOL: 'The Birthers' Continue to Hound Obama. On that page one of the most fascinating results is the hilarious 53% that professes belief in "any conspiracy theories". I guess that with so many conspiracy theories doing the rounds, at least some of them must be true.

        karel nice analysis . I did not analyze the questions ..all I did was merely report the results as AOL had accounted for them. I guess it does show support is slipping , and that if conditons continue to deteriorate , Obama's Poll Numbers will fall into the crapper as Bush's numbers had done!

          JOKE Time

          Time to Lighten up. Since we don't have Geroge Bush to kick around, let's have a few chuckles with the Bamster !

          Have you ever noticed how Obama thinks nothing is impossible as long as somebody else has to pay for it?

          Even though Obama doesn't have any experience, we'll get plenty.

          With Obama as President, the only real "gun nuts" will be the people who don't have any.

          Obama said "NO" to drugs, but they must not have heard him.


          Q. Why did Obama think that he had campaigned in 57 states?
          A. His alleged heavy pot use has left him a brownie short of a full pan.

          Q. Why doesn’t Barack

          drink Pepsi?

          A. Things go Better with COKE!




          Q. Whydid Barack Obama run for office as a Democrat?
          A. The Communist Party didn’t have enough voters.

          Q. Why did Obama change his name from Barry Obama to Barack Obama?
          A. He thought “Barry” sounded too American.

            Well, it would be strange if Obama wouldn't run into a dip in popularity sometime. Now seems to be as good a time as ever, because now he will be blamed for the crisis, even if it has its roots in recent and less recent history. To reach the lows Bush dived to is something else entirely.

            Interesting aside from your attempt to ligthen things up: Americans Growing Kinder to Bud (FiveThirtyEight.com). As Winston Churchill remarked: "You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else."

              Kare I agree !

              Karel, although I do not use the Drug myself, I advocate the legalization of marijuana. It should be controlled and TAXED . What shocks me is that the current congress and senate is probably loaded with Hippie bastards from the sixties , who took everthing under the sun but now rail against marijuana leagalization.
              Furthermore while we are on theis topic , I feel prostitution should be legal and controlled and TAXED . Hey we need all the revenue we can get !

                It's nice to be in agreement once in a while, isn't it? I agree completely; I just put the political opposition against drug legalization to a misreading of the public opinion. Perhaps quite a few politicians feel obliged to mouth objections against drug legalization because they think (or know) that their constituency does require it of them. Not very principled perhaps, like the Republicans who find religion when the next election looms, but not really avoidable.

                I am not a user myself either. I am non-smoker and did try spacecake, but it did nothing for me. Or rather, I fell asleep.

                And well, we have legalized prostitution in the Netherlands (and yes, it is taxed) partly as a measure against human trafficking. As far as that aspect goes nothing much has changed however. The criminal influence in Dutch prostitution is hardly diminished, and human trafficking and loverboys are still very much present.

                  A dog or the dream

                  Kim Darst an Iditarod Musher from NJ had a decision to make . One of her dogs , Cotton, had his temperature drop 20 degrees from the normal 101.3F for dogs. Fearing her dog would die before the next checkpoint , Kim made the decision to call for help and inturn disqualified herself from the race .
                  The question is ,did KIM really lose? She says , "I didn't finish the race , but I still have my best friend." I think that says it all!

                        Now aren't you sorry......That you didn't write me in last November???

                        I got all of 4 votes.

                        But I had a plan to get us outta this mess and nobody listened.

                        I could've solved everything for a measley $100 million:

                        There are 40 million people over 50 years of age.

                        We pay each one $2.5 million with the following caveats:

                        1) Must quit your job...BAMM!!! Unemployment solved

                        2) Must buy a new car...BAMM!!! Auto Industry recovers

                        3) Must take a 1 week vacation...BAMM!!! Travel Industry blues are solved

                        4) Must buy a house/condo or pay off your mortgage...BAMM!!! The housing crisis is history.

                              Henny youngman

                              Henny Youngman shuffled off this mortal coil in 1998 . Alan King , as a tribute to HENNY, at the funeral , read this short compilation of Henny's Jokes ....I think HENNY would have been proud!

                              Henny Youngman Jokes

                              This is a list of the Henny Youngman jokes that comedian Alan King repeated at Mr. Youngman's funeral...
                              You have a ready wit. Let m know when it is ready.

                              The more I think of you the less I think of you.

                              It's good to see you. It means you're not behind my back.

                              You're one of the main reasons for twin beds.

                              He's a real pain in the neck; of course, some people have a lower opinion of him.

                              He's a real gentleman. He reminds me of Saint Paul, one of the dullest towns in America.

                              Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? They're worth it.

                              Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to.

                              Why don't Jewish men drink? It interferes with their suffering.

                              In New York's garment district a little old man was hit by a car. While waiting for an ambulance, the policeman tucked a blanket under the guys chin and asked, "Are you comfortable?" the man said, "I make a nice living."

                              Camp Hiawatha, Camp Seneca - That's where Jewish kids go for the summer. Camp Ginsberg is where the Indian kids go.

                              When my wife asked me to start a garden, the first thing I dug up was an excuse.

                              My wife will buy anything marked down. She brought home two dresses and an escalator.

                              I haven't talked to my wife in three days. I didn't want to interrupt her.

                              I took my wife to a wife-swapping party. I had to throw in some cash.

                              I miss my wife's cooking - as often as possible.

                              A woman wrapped herself in Saran Wrap to take off some weight. Her husband comes home, sees her, and says, "Leftovers again."

                              Was that suit made to order? The guy who ordered it didn't pick it up, huh?

                              That's a nice suit you're wearing. When did the clown die?

                              I like the suit you're wearing. Who shines it for you?

                              He's frank and ernest with women. In Fresno; he's Frank and in Chicago; he's Ernest.

                              What do you get for a man who has everything? Penicillin.

                              A priest is sent to Alaska. A Bishop goes up to visit a year later. the Bishop asks, "How do you like it up here?"
                              The priest says. "If it wasn't for my Rosary and two martinis a day, I'd be lost. Would youl like a Martini Bishop?"
                              "Yes, I would", says the Bishop
                              The Priests says "Rosary, bring the bishop a Martini."

                              A man goes to a psychiatrist. The doctor says, "You're crazy."
                              The man says, "I want a second opinion."
                              The doctor says, "OK, you're ugly too."

                              A guy says to a doctor, "I'm having trouble with my love life at home." the doctor says, "Take off 20 pounds and run 10 miles a day for two weeks."
                              Two weeks later the guy calls the doctor, "Doctor, I took of the 20 pounds and I have been running the 10 miles a day."
                              "Okay, so how is your love life now?"
                              "I don't know, I'm 140 miles from home!"

                              A man can't find a lawyer. He picks up the Yellow Pages and he sees the firm of Schwartz, Schwartz, Schwartz & Schwartz. Calls them up and says, "Is Mr. Schwartz in?"
                              "No he's out playing golf."
                              "Well, is Mr. Schwartz in?"
                              "No, he left the firm."
                              "Then let me talk to Mr. Schwartz."
                              "He is in Detroit and will not be back until next week."
                              Ok, how about Mr. Schwartz, then?"
                              "Speaking."

                              The convict was about to go to the electric chair. He called his lawyer for advice. the lawyer says, "Don't sit down."

                              The food on the plane was fit for a king. "Here, King."

                              A panhandler says to me, "Mister, I haven't tasted food for a week."
                              I said, "Don't worry, it still tastes the same."

                              My father was never home; He was always away drinking booze. He saw a a sign saying, "Drink Canada Dry"; so he went up there.

                              My mother was 88 years old, she never used glasses. Drank right out of the bottle.

                              Your presence makes me long for your absence.

                              Some people bring happiness wherever they go. You bring happiness whenever you go.

                              I'd like to help you out. which way did you come in?
