If Obama wanted to make the markets recover today..he should have said the following...

“I shall not seek re-election to a second term as President of the United States.”

The numbers have been over inflated for a long time. I said back in early July that we would see it fall....

As for those blaming the TeaParty for everything, you clearly do not understand what the TeaParty was asking for. But, how could you, the MSM has told you how to think and what your talking points are, no need to actually educate yourselves.

Just keep on blaming Bush and the Republicans, throw in a Sarah Palin card once in awhile and the new action figure, the TeaParty! Hurray!

A little perspective goes along way.


24 points is a crash. Every thing else is just stupid people acting stupidly (as usual).
It's obvious you aren't asian.

So that Dem Obama sucks and that Rep Bush sucked... What is your point?

Both parties wrecked the economy TOGETHER

Time to get the children out of power (Dems and Reps) and elect and elect some grownups

How soon some people forget...

Those were all during the housing collapse except for one. What's your point? The president has absolutely nothing to do with the stock market, unless of course you're ignorant about the stock market.

Hmm, that's interesting Fiyero.

Could you provide some examples of Tea Party conservatives blaming Obama for "absolutely everything"?

Someone needs to tell the OP that one day drops are pretty much meaningless. Its a trend which is at issue. Hows that trend doing?

I think you are very right there. Where have you been, girl? We need good posts like that one more often.

We picked a number of adults in 2010 and somehow they will manage to dig themselves out from under the pile of Pelosi that the Dems and the MSM have stacked on them.

Futures aren't doing good right now. The Hang Seng is tanking and the Nikkei is posting moderate losses. But like I think too, we'll see on Friday how the markets performed. I think people are selling off because they're nervous but I think the markets will slow down the hemorrhaging by the weekend but a correction was long overdue
