Obama's Misery, February 2009 Update

This is the first of my monthly updates on the U.S. "Misery Index" during "The One's" administration. Surprisingly, he's doing a great job so far...
It's down today from my last check, from 7.77 to 7.29 percent.
If this trend holds, at some point I'll have to admit once again to being WRONG!
... And I'll do that gladly.

The Misery Index- INITIAL

You may remember the misery index. I blogged about it here.
Established by President Carter to belittle President Ford (Ha!), it's the rate of inflation added to the unemployment rate.

Today, the first day of this historic new administration, the "Misery Index" stands at 7.77%.
I'll help keep you updated on our "misery", or lack of it.
Watch this space!
