The normallly anti-Obama business commentators have changed their tune today.

I often watch CNBC, Fox business, Worldwide exchange, etc and I see a noticeable change in the attitudes of the experts and the hosts. Seems the increasingly good economic indicators have finally convinced them the economy is on the mend and will likely continue. They still have some reservations about Europe and the debt but generally they are all bullish now and are beginning to give the President some of the credit.

This is noticable change from just a few weeks/days ago. Not sure what specifically got them.. I guess its just the consistent trends. I also think they may be giving up on the GOP candidates. They might be thinking Romney or Santorum could actually screw things up economically.

You have to change what you are saying or risk looking like a FOX commentator.

hopeless for Romney and they start talking Obama up and businesses may as well start hiring and helping Obama because the others are scarey.
