That is a political move so that if he is not able to stimulate the economy he can blame it one Mr. Bush. Not picking on Mr. Obama any politician would do the same thing. I wouldn't put much weight on that comment

Trouble is, many economists are saying we are spiralling down faster than they anticipated. That the downturn is deeper than they anticipated.

President Obama is saying this is going to last for years.

Do you believe all of these economists?

Absolutely.

The GDP shrank 3.9% last quarter. Massive layoffs everywhere. Unemployment is approaching 10%.

The numbers don't lie.

I also heard there is a substantial contingent of ministers planning a revolt.

They certainly don't, especially when you're part of that percentage. It happened to me, albeit for only 2 weeks, and now I'm back, but it is a bit unsettling to think the entire workforce is touch and go.
