President Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner received failing grades for their efforts to revive the world's largest economy, according to participants in the latest Wall Street Journal forecasting survey.

A majority of the 49 economists polled said they were dissatisfied with the administration's economic policies, according to the paper, a stark contrast to Obama's popularity ratings with the general public.

On average, the economists gave the president a grade of 59 out of 100, and although there was a broad range of marks, 42 percent of respondents rated Obama below 60, the paper said.

Now you come on Invict, my brothers went to public school and guess what, one is an accountant and financial planner living in luxury, and the other a Contractor and born again christian preacher. Still think public school deserves a blanket statement like that? Both my brothers did very well in school/ Public school. Not fair.
