Today's stock market drop was the 6th largest in U.S. history. The 5 largest drops happened while Bush was President. (Pelosi, parties)

His top five increases are 12% larger than his top five loses.

I'm bullish on Bush.

Those five drops also happened while Obama was a do-nothing Senator from Illinois. But I doubt you want to point out his role in the collapse.

5 points is a crash? So you if you're child brings home a 95 instead of a 100 you beat them senseless with a belt and then make them stand in the corner?

A little perspective goes along way.

24 points is a crash. Every thing else is just stupid people acting stupidly (as usual).

If you understand this - then why are you highlighting point drops during Bush's presidency?

Well duh, that was the Democrats' fault, not Bush's. However, this is Obama's fault, not the Republicans.

Bush takes the blame for everything else, unless it is more convenient to blame "whatever" on GOP or those handful of GOP Congressmen who ran on a ticket of fiscal responsibility (i.e. Tea Party Freshmen).

Obama can do no wrong. Didn't you get the memo?

Ironic, considering on this board, conservatives blame Obama for absolutely everything, and Republicans can do no wrong, especially the Tea Party.

Why is that you Liberals like to defend your failures by pointing out failures of other people?

Do you think that will take away from your OWN? Do you think it will make you look better?

How about you own up to it?

Which was attributed to computer error and bounced right back. Today's loss isn't due to computer error.

Why dont conservatives own up to their sides failings? I've seen far more liberals on this board claim the Democrats share a large chunk of the blame for this mess (even if they think it was more a Republican failure), whereas I don't think I've seen but maybe 1 or 2 conservatives who didn't blame 100% of it on Obama and liberals.

So, Pot meet kettle.
