Exactly right because Bush was just Obama-lite. Bush never scrapped NAFTA but Obama certainly will not touch it. Bush and Obama both worked to get the bailout of the big bank CEO's passed. They are both globalists working for the big corporations.

Now the line is that they're only going down because Bush is still in office, that the democrats are holding off on buying stock until Jan 21.

Once Obama gets into the White House, THEN the democrats are going to have confidence in all the change and THEN they will invest in the stock market. So what about the job loss between now and then, those people will quickly be rehired Jan 21.

Well, since the election, the anticipation of Obama's job-killing, economy-killing policies has caused the market to nosedive over 1000 points.

Lovely.

Only someone ignorant of economics would dare make a stupid statement like that.

The economic disaster we are in, and the falling stock market, are almost totally the fault of Bush Republican policy and priorities over the past 8 years...

Those who have never studied economics should stay away from trying to determine the cause of stock market movements - they only prove to everyone how ignorant they are.

Can we assume this will be your last post on the matter?

Actually, I'm proving that you know nothing about anything.

Please educate me about why the stock market has collapsed while the Republicans were in power. Let's start with the sub prime debacle if you like. I will be happy to post numerous links to video where Republicans asked for tighter regulation on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and Democrats refused to cooperate. I will even post the link to President Clinton stating that the Democrats must step up to the plate and take blame for the Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac problems and resisting both he and the Republican's call for tighter regulation. Should we have a go at it?

We can also talk about Acorn and their role, the threatened lawsuits against lenders that would refuse to loan using the loose satndards that the Democrats were pushing. Whenever your ready.

Just in case you are interested I did not vote for either McCain or Obama. I am just interested in the truth not what the 2 party system puts out there to fool the sheep of the country. Just the facts not either party's spin.
