How is Obama coming with his plans to turn the Washington Monument into a minaret?

He also had the Capitol rotunda slated to be renovated for a mosque, if I'm not mistaken. I heard the Oval Office was piled up with stacks of prayer rugs waiting for the work to finish.

All those who want religion in their government should be wildly ecstatic by the time he gets through. It looks as though they might get their wish.

Oh! My! G-d! You mean that fascist/commie/pinko/socialist/liberal/Obama-run network MSNBC? Say it ain't so, Joe!

In the past few days, MSNBC has repeatedly used misleading graphics of the Dow Jones industrial average showing a decline since the beginning of November 2008, suggesting that the drop started with the election of President Obama. In fact, as Media Matters for America has documented, the Dow was on a downward trajectory months before the election, dropping 3,738 points from May 2, 2008, to November 3, 2008.

Then of course there's this:



See that line from March to current that keeps going steadily up, up, up, up, up? Yep, sure looks like investors have lost confidence in the market. Well, except, not.

He couldn't have been more right about that

On Cramer:

Please watch video links. He didn't know $h!t , (he admits this on the video or he is just trying to play dumb to cover his a$$) and guy helped nobody in the end.


On Obama:
Is it really Obama? Or is this wealth destruction a culmination of the Economic Polices of our Government, and the greed of our society has had past 20 years? Btw. I would blame both democratic and republican presidents for having a hand in this economic disaster. Granted I give you that Obama is probably hurting us in the long term. But really even if he is not taking us in the wrong direction. He can't fix our current problem. I don't think any president/government could fix our current problem. There are so many factors at play out there (things that need to be fixed and reevaluated.) that to me, time will be the only healer of our economic problem at this point.

That's right, Joe, just keep on ignoring the facts and spinning, spinning, spinning. That'll make your blood pressure go down.

obviously you're not familiar with how the market works. The market priced in the fact that obama was going to be the president in the fall.

It doesn't need to wait for him to get in office to price in his policies.


Just another reason why we need a money 101 in high school for people like you
