But it's Obama's fault the stock market is dropping right even though that has been dropping for a while now too?

I believe this thread was started in response to the blame Obama got for the 486 stock market drop.

We have a winner. Seeing how it's Obama's fault the stock market is dropping, I guess it's also his fault gas prices are dropping too.

The stock market didnt start to drop until the Democrats started playing politics over a bailout bill that never should have taken place..

Oil prices are not dictated by tax policies, the stock market is.. After all, we dont tax the rich more for gas, but they do get taxed more for profiting from stock.

I dont expect the left to understand the difference, so go ahead and babble on the thread..

You show your lack of education about economics on a daily basis.

It's amazing how many people missed the sarcastic nature of this thread. Is the prerequisite for being either a Republican or a sore loser not having a sense of humor?

Its both Obamas fault, and those who voted for the bailout bill.

If you dont understand why people would be selling their stocks now, before Obama initiates higher taxes on stock profits, then you truly are showing your ignorance of economics..

Actually right now is the best time to invest because of the low interest rates. Of course you wouldn't know that though.
