Oh now, the polls have got to be right.
In fact, if the polls were righter, they'd show Barack Milhous with a 30% lead over Romney.
After all, Barack Milhous himself said in May 2009, five months into his presidency, "mission accomplished; the recession's over."
Yep, he actually said that, and the mainstream news media hawked it at the time.
It's just that we ignoramuses haven't noticed.
