average, for incumbent presidents, an average when they win, the consumer confidence index is 95.9%. when they lose, it's 78.4% the consumer nfidence index today is 55.7%. >> it's interesting you talk about that, also faith in adership. doris, this is a cartoon that we like this week from jimmy margulies from "the record" of hackensack, new jersey. of course, the president is visiting flood victims today. he in a boat beause ofhe flood zone with a copy of the polls in his hand, and he says "i remember when i could walk on this water," which really symbolizes the fact that this was great expectations, and now there's a great amount of disappointment in the president, not just on the right, of course, but among his core supporters. >> i hope he's got enough sense of self to be able to save those cartoons. teddy roosevelt loved all of the terrible cartoons about m, put them all up on his wall. but i think the key thing right now, to pick up on what mark said, it's a political crisis as well as an economic crisis we're facing, and he has to somehow in his speech be able to persuade people that government can do something about it.
