1. Then we need another FDR not another Kennedy nor another Clinton.

Pay attention Barrack. I've been saying this for YEARS.

2. 59 percent, I am surprised it's not higher than that number.

6. Give it a few weeks and I bet the number soars. nt

7. Blessed Be my friend and you may be right.

3. So the other 41% are in complete denial?

Hmmm...if we can get 59% of the vote this November, I'll be happy. I can't believe that many people (the 41%) are so damned stupid and blind.

5. This is not your grandfather's depression. It will be called the Greater Depression.

The entrenched greed in our political system will take some time to remove.

8. Anyone who thinks that this is good for the party who has their president in the WH is nuts

This is the kind of thing that leads to landslide victories for the party out of power.

10. 60% also believe in Noah's Ark

We are not going into a depression.

11. What percentage of Americans understand what an economic depression is?

What percentage of those respondents only said that there would be a depression because they heard someone else say it (possibly a talking head on TV)? Popular opinion will not drive the economic cycle, thankfully.

12. They may not know all the intricacies but I think they know it isn't a good thing

[Lorentz]

14. But if they don't know the difference between a recession and a depression, the poll is meaningless.

Well, the poll is meaningless, anyway.

13. We need a NEW DEAL...not a BAIL OUT for Banks.

The trickle down shit doesnt work folks...Prosperity bubbles up. Put the American people to work, money in our hands and we will jump-start this economy. Otherwise its dead in the water. When are they going to figure this out?
