While I agree that the stock market affects 401k's, working people have access to the same amount of diversification through mutual funds and bank-assembled plans with accompanying risk. My company's plan offers everything from no-risk (cash and bonds) to high-risk (growth oriented stocks).

In one month Obama has spent MORE taxpayer money than any other President.
In one month Obama put a tax cheater on his team to fix the economy.
In one month Obama put a porno lawyer on his team as Deputy Attorney General.
In one month Obama's attorney general called Americans cowards.
In one month Obama is punishing families that work hard to pay their mortgages but he gives deadbeats taxpayer cash.
In one month Obama's political group ACORN gets $5 billion in money and ACORN is already breaking into homes in Maryland.
Etc.

That can't be true. The Bush bailout alone was almost as big as the stimulus.

Can you provide links for these?

Your manner of speech would suggest you had a clue. However, your words belie you.

You toss out a lot opinion without anything to support it.
Sorry, champ, but I'm just not all that interested in doing leftwingers' homework for them. Ever heard of a search engine called "google"?

Unemployment was at or near an all time low during most of the Bush administration. I guess it's only dismal if you don't like people working. On second thought, leftwingers don't particularly like work, do they?

How the world laughs at America?
The outrage that Americans expressed and pursued with thorough investigation regarding the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal sure caused many countries to chuckle and shake their heads.
Also, I guess many Americans have forgotten the British front page headline after Bush's re-election: "How Could 57 Million Americans Be So Stupid?"
