I have listened to and read articles by a number of economists who believe that the stock market has most likely bottomed out, is not as dire as the average investor might feel like it is, and that there has never been a better time to buy. I have also heard a number of economists state that, though the recovery has slowed, most things are still moving in the right direction.
I'll stick with the experts' opinions rather than yours, Tuco. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.
It really doesn't matter if you are so sure that it's nothing but PR, because you don't know what will be done with the information and opinions gleaned, and until you do, your assumptions are only that.......assumptions.
Oh, yeah, and please cite your source. I wouldn't want to think your evidence came from the NY Times or anyplace unfriendly like that.
Panelists gave Bush first-hand accounts of the economy's health. Larry Johnston, chairman of the Albertson's grocery store chain, said he sees weakening consumer confidence when customers buy hamburger instead of steakIt's always nice to see the President feeling our pain, isn't it?
From polls that have been published.

Oh how I hate 'Rats!
You are totally irrelevant......but, hey......thanks for your concern. :o)
It seems that there are mindless complainers on both ends of the political spectrum......not just on the Rat side.
This is a bit off-topic, but the engulfing irony does not leave me, of President Bush owning a new home only 25 miles from the scene of his predecesor's mass murder of our fellow citizens. Of all the places in Texas Bush could have settled, this one always gives me pause, and I am sure it affects a few bias-peddlers posing as reproters who stay in the same hotels now as they did when the inhabitants of Mt. Carmel were being intimidated and watched while hillary grew impatient for their demise, eventuating in their brutal incineration. And let us not forget that there were babies, some still in utero, and toddlers, killed for their parents' "crimes" by the administration that claimed to do everything for the children. This is justice, clinton-style.
I will never forget this barbarism.
Now my hubby and I are off to have lunch with our oldest daughter.....hm, steak sounds nice about now. This thread is making me hungry! ;-)
Wrong. This is a figure of speech in our part of the country. It's a display of good manners indicating he appreciated all the hard work that went into making the forum come off smoothly. It's common knowledge in the Waco community that many, many people at the university put in a lot of overtime and effort and worked cooperatively with the White House and Secret Service. Ditto for the Chamber of Commerce, local law enforcement, merchants, etc. who donated man hours and goods and services. This was a special event for the city and university and I think they did a darned good job. Apparently the President agrees, and many people also agree many good ideas and exchanges of information came out of the forum.
Absolutely, and this President does not waste time with dog and pony shows. Ideas gleaned from the forum will be taken back to Washington, and I believe we will see a renewed push for a permanent tax cut, death tax legislation, streamlined government paperwork, etc. Of course, Daschle's obstructionism must be overcome.
does this mean, McLynnan - that the book signing didn't pan out?
Mr. Mc got the date wrong, and the signing is this coming Sunday. We plan to go and I will report back!
Exactly. Some people have to parse every little statement because they can find nothing substantive to object to.
