HOPE AND CHANGE: Nearly Half of US Thinks New Recession is Coming: Poll.

What’s amazing is that this is happening despite all the happy-talk from the Big Media folks that we’ve been hearing since before Recovery Summer I. That seems to be starting to fade, though . . .

UPDATE: Reader Ken Lawton emails: “Hmmm … ‘Misery Index’ Up 62 % Since Obama Took Office while Pelosi’s wealth grows by 62 %. Coincidence?”
