Last week, following Michele Bachmann’s win at the Iowa straw poll and Gov. Rick Perry’s official presidential announcement, the pair were compared to biblical figures: King Saul, the people’s choice, and King David, God’s choice.

The CBO's mid-year assessment reduces projected 2011 economic growth rate from 3.1 percent to 2.3 percent, and estimates the jobless rate will remain above 8% until 2014.
