Question of the week:How confident are you that President-elect Barack Obama can improve the U.S. economy?

if he has the
ability to turn
the economy
around. If so,
that would be
great. I’m hopeful.”

to the alternative,
I think
he’s very, very
good.”

“I’d say I’m
very confident. I
just think he has
a lot of knowledge.
I think he
knows what he’s
doing”

``I don’t know,
probably very
confident. He’s a
smart guy”.

don’t think anyone
can.”

“I hope he
does. I don’t
know if it’s possible.
I try to follow
politics; they
say they’re going
to do something,
but they don’t.”
