Scarborough confesses: ‘Perhaps we don’t know what we’re talking about’ on the stimulus.


Gee, ya think?
Thinkprogress:

In recent weeks, media debate surrounding the economic recovery package has turned against President Obama’s legislation, with numerous allegations that Obama is losing the message wars in the eyes of the public:
As ThinkProgress has noted, MSNBC’s Morning Joe crew is helping lead the charge against Obama’s handling of the recovery package. But presented with the Gallup poll on the show this morning, Joe Scarborough quickly backtracked, admitting, “[P]erhaps we overanalyzed it, and we don’t know what we’re talking about”:
SCARBOROUGH: Chuck, it has been a difficult process. We’ve been very critical of the process. It seems sloppy. It seems that the White House has been off their game. … And then we see a poll like the Gallup Poll that came out yesterday that makes me think that perhaps we overanalyzed it, and we don’t know what we’re talking about. … Sixty-seven percent of Americans approve of Barack Obama’s handling of the economy.

Morning Joe has other things on his mine these days then the Stimulus Package. There is that tax problem and that investigation into the murder of Joe's aide that keeping him up at night. Who knows Morning Joe might soon be have his coffee with prisoners.
