It will be Obama's economy when GDP is at +4%, unemployment is at 5% and home prices are up 10%.

It's Obama's economy NOW and has been since he signed the first budget and bill to hit his desk.

Now that he has a super majority of rubber stampers, all of the hell that is going to start breaking loose this fall in the stock market should be laid squarely at his feet, which even though it is going to suck, it is a good thing. No amount of media denial or political grandstanding will help Obama when that happens as there is no way to blame Republicans. People are going to get a quick and very harsh taste of what marxist ideology will do to America and hopefully that nasty taste will cause them to spit out the Dems in 2010.

september 3rd, 2008 when he took the lead once and for all. the market and financial system (which were in a weakened state) began to price in his big government anti business platforms.

markets new he'd win, they went down, people became alot less wealthy and cut back spending dramtically.

This is worse than Jimmy carter.

I voted for Clinton 2 times. He was fiscally conservative. (Alan Greenpan even said: Bill Clinton "Was the Best Republican President We've Had in a While)

Obama is anti business, big big big governent guy. He's left of the left
