I don't blame the overall economy on Obama, but I do blame the market in part on his plans, budgets, etc which are not economy friendly. The market is a barometer for the economies future and increasing taxes and the deficit four times over is not wise in these times.

Well his move to buy up Citicorp shares hasn't seemed to help. All financial stocks continue to tank because if the govt takes banks over the stocks are worthless. So this particular loss in value of financial stocks are because of Obama's action, but I can't say the whole economy's decline is due to Obama.

Look no further than Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the stellar members of congress. I'm not saying its all their fault but EVERYONE in office the past few years has allowed this crap to happen.

As for Obama, you've got to be blind if you do not see the effect his policies and rhetoric is having on the markets.

I'm laughing, people get what they deserve. And on the plus side, the intelligent ones may soon have their own country when the federal government starts falling apart...

I'm sure glad I didn't vote for this lying piece of garbage we elected. He campaigned on the promise of stopping earmarks and pork barrel spending and look at what he is ramming down our throats.
He is a liar and a piece of garbage that will never be elected to another term, and that is MY PREDICTION.

We are lucky to have not lost money, just gained at a slowest pace. I guess we are conservative in everything we do.

I notice that KRAMERCAT hasnt been on these boards since NObama got elected. I bet even he is too embarrased to post.
