You need to pay attention to Kevin Hasset. He knows what he's talking about....Plus, he was an advisor to John McCain, which means he is both fair and impartial concerning all things Obama.

DOW 36000!!!!! YEAH!!!!

^ I was going to say just that

Kevin Hassett, director of economic-policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, is a Bloomberg News columnist. He was an adviser to Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona in the 2008 presidential election.

Speaks well for Obama and his plans.

If these idiots are against it, it may be a good thing.

I hope you are watcdhing the market on a daily basis, so you can see just how well dumbo's big plan is working. We can only hope the USA survives until we can dump dumbo.
He is either the dumbest to ever come along, or he is intentionally sending us all over the cliff...
Someday, even the demos will wise up and see how they were duped by the slick used car salesman...

Of course you're absolutely right. Everything wrong with the economy is Obama's fault.

Everything was going great with the economy until Obama was elected. The stock market was hitting new highs every day last year under the prior administration. The financial firms (especially Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers) were highly profitable, and the credit markets were operating smoothly. People were getting mortgages they could afford, real estate prices were increasing, and foreclosures were almost unheard off. Unemployment was at record low levels.

All of sudden, the day Obama was inaugurated, everything fell apart. All the positive trends turned around overnight. Obama inherited the best economy in 70 years and almost magically destroyed in in the course of a month. Its almost impossible to believe that he could change things so fast, but he did. Clearly had McCain won instead, everything would have remained perfect and we all would have gotten ponies too.

I'll bet McCain is glad he wasn't elected.

What would Hasset be saying if he were?

^Hasset may have had a cabinet position and he'd be saying 'Yes, sir! Right away Mr. president, sir! Which @55 cheek do I kiss today, sir?'

In the debate when McCain began his 17 billion ear mark and control spending platform all that could come out of me was a giggly ridicule at the oral flatulence. What prevented it from rising to a bellowing guffaw was the realization that is this constituted a slight superiority over the Dumbo eared puppet.

They are tines on a fork and an oligarchy is holding the handle.

I HATE GODDA%*W$)(*%W$)( POLITICAL THREADS.

But, since we've brought politics to business, for some god knows why reason, here we go.
Imagine your wife is making bread. She outs in wayyy...wayyyyyy...wayyyyyyyyyy too much yeast. Then your sister comes in, and didn't see her put in the yeast, and she puts in some yeast, and your mom, and your aunt...yeah..for some reason, they all put in yeast. Maybe they DID see it, but hey - yeast makes bread much gooder - so they decided to put in their oiwn yeast.

Then your wife asks you to bake it. The bread explodes to the size of Mt. Everest in the oven and burns to all to Hell and back.

Congratulations, IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT MORAN.....................Now clean up the mess!

You know why the "stimulus" plan under Bush's presidency didn't work? They expected people to spend all their money with the economy tanking....and too many just used it to pay off debt or saved it.

HAHAHAHAHAHA>>> I find that to be hilarious. (Mine went right into the bank.)
