Time to tackle the economy. As it turns out, that's what most joes and jills think that Obama will be able to fix. A tall, frosty 72 percent of people polled are confident that Mr. BO will be able to pick the economy up, dust it off and make it head for higher ground.

Here's another stat for you, jack ... 5 out of 4 people can't do math. When did Washington fix anything? On top of that, how does YOUR deal get better if some bub that you never met 1,500 miles away gets a tax credit on his small business? Forget about being president 44 ... it'll be until president 392 before DC gets anything D-O-N-E.

Only economy you need to get a handle on is the one where the mail is addressed to you. Let the newsboys scream and cry about how Wall Street is taking a nose dive into an empty pool. Once you have no debt and a big wad of cash saved up, none of that's gonna matter, baby. Wait ... it doesn't matter now. Get the point?
