republicans have recently done a much better job of defining the bill than democrats have...

i'm gonna try and trust obama's judgment but i'm skeptical toward this working. make most of it about infrastructure and even some tax cuts...they should leave some of that other out until later.

Your commentary is getting stale tbh.

It really is.

That's the point, turn it into oldmeme so people stop saying it. Kinda like "bootstraps".

but its strange how rasmussen always favors republicans more than other polls..........

although i think they were the closest to the election results......

Excuse me, Nate Silver's projections?

when i see these polls, i always wonder how many of the telephone respondents are actually INFORMED about the bailout, or if they're just going by what the media tells them/the paper tells them/their neighbor tells them, etc.

not knocking the OPs post specifically, i mean, in general. people know the economy is doing horribly, but i can't help but wonder how informed they really are about everything.

What constitutes being INFORMED about the bailout?

[wakemexsoftly]

i think it means being aware about issues, what both sides feel as important and how it will personally impact you and your job.

i'm just remembering all of the confusion that people had in early september when washington mutual and other banks had to be bailed out, and people did not understand what was happening and why. polls were coming out saying that a high number of people polled didn't even understand what was happening. i'm not saying that the numbers here are invalid or inaccurate, i just wonder if people understand the full scope of what is happening.

i'm not versed in economics and i don't claim to be. it was just an observation as someone studying news media.
