Bankers not as optimistic about the economy as Obama
9:30AM 2/03/2010
Although the President claimed in his State of the Union address that the worst of the economic storm has passed us by, he apparently didn't consult with bankers who answered the January survey of senior loan officers conducted by the Federal Reserve.
