Obama gets a failing grade from economists

The Wall Street Journal has polled a group of the world's leading economists on the grade they'd give President Obama's management of the economy thus far.

On average, he gets a grade of 59 out of 100. When I went to school, that was an 'F.'

Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, on the other hand, gets a 71- which, as I recall, was a 'C.'

On average, the economists look for the economy to turn around in October. And it's worth noting that Mr. Obama- who predicted that the sky would cave in if his pork-laden stimulus package wasn't passed- now says that the economy "isn't as bad as we think."
