Pure Genious (II)

They said that he is probably the most talented politician Washington has seen in a very long time. Now we know why. He spent the first two months of his presidency talking down the economy with an unprecedented vengeance repeatedly using words like "crisis", "mortal danger of absolute collapse", "disaster", "catastrophie", etc. His strategy has become clear: He wanted to make sure that any sense of optimism has been eliminated (with the possible exception of V. Pandit), and ultimate gloom has captured our collective thinking, so that he can be 100% accurate when he says that "things are not as bad as we think"!!

On a scale of 1-10, exactly how bad would that be, Mr. President? -1,000,000 give or take?
