All the News That We Eventually Figure Out

You could've waited 'til today to get "on the ground" intelligence from the business world/economy from the New York Times, or you could've gotten it from NBfPB months ago.

From NYT today:
"The funny thing is that despite their recent success, most of these folks seem reluctant to acknowledge that things have gotten better. Why? ... Two, I think some people are staying quiet because they don’t want to give anyone in Washington credit for the recovery. They feel that they have recovered due to their own innovation, creativity and hard work and not due to anything related to the stimulus. "

From NBfPB a month ago:
"We've held out this long, might as well hold out a few more months until after the election. No point in handing the current Washington crowd any credit for anything positive. This sentiment is widely held." And, of course, this.

UPDATE: And I've beaten NPR to the punch on this one like nobody's business.
