How Did These Einsteins Decide?

Polls are showing that the voters who participated in the surveys claim that Barack Obama would be better at handling the economy than John McCain.

How did these Einsteins decide that a complete novice who has NO economic experience and has never even been responsible for a major budget (unlike Governor Palin) could be trusted to deal with the economy?

It just goes to show you that when it comes to money people lose all sense of rationality...
especially if they actually believe that a President has the power single-handedly to screw up their economic fate or bring about a miracle.

This kind of magical thinking understandably was still around during the Great Depression, but one would think that in our enlightened age we would have progressed well beyond such notions of patent nostrums.
