If you had any questions about how differently the economy will be covered with Barack Obama in the White House they were answered by George Stephanopoulos on Sunday when he credited the president-elect with causing the recent stock market rally as well as better than expected sales the day after Thanksgiving.

Well, I think Obama picking Larry Summers to some job didn’t aggravate the situation.

O.K. now, I might believe the first proposition. After all, a bunch of us here has argued that he has been causing the bear markets since the election.

As for the 2nd proposition about Black Friday, "Stephie" needs to lay off the controlled substances...

This is mild. I talking with folks over the holiday, it is clear that liberals and moderates are projecting every possible positive attribute to Obama. It is beyond Clinton, and has reached a level of worship I never seriously thought could occur in any first world nation.

The fall of Obama will be painful. Expectations are cult-like at this point.

No, Obama and his minions caused the first crash (Freddie and Fannie) and they caused the subsequent downturns after the election. They also caused fear due to the “we want everyone’s 401ks” announcement. To give him credit for ANYTHING in the financial sector is stupid when he’s not even in office yet.

Yeah the rally the days after he was “elected?” The DO had lost about 20% in a week. Hey george some of us understand the Soros manipulations plus CRA, Fannie/Freddie insurgents, Citigroup insurgents liek Rubin, plus Cloward-Piven.

People who owns businesses have zero confidence in the illegal alien from Indonesia who is not Constitutionally eligible.

The reality is that the market is very much about perception and emotion, and as such can be affected by the media. Part of the reason the dot com bubble lasted as long as it did during the Clinton administration is that the media were such cheerleaders for the Clinton economy. We were being told at that time how the Dow was headed for over 15,000, and recessions were a thing of the past. I don't think I've ever heard as much glee from the media about an up day on Wallstreet as I routinely did during the Clinton administration, and it will be the same with Obama. It will be hard to stomach, but the upside is that at least you can make some of your money back while the media paints a rosy picture of the ‘Obama economy’. Ultimately, we have to get back to sound fundamentals or we will continue to have these wild swings in the market.

I, too, may give him the first one, at least for not making it worse. The hope and changers are not happy, because there is not much hope and little change.

The second, is more like, coming up for air before going down for the third time. One last gasp before disaster sets in.

The Dems created a lack in confidence in the economy with their 2 years of “The worst economy since the Depression” talk in their campaigning. Now, they can start talking in a way to make consumers willing to spend again.

The Obama ‘rally’ can be summarized as follows:

S&P 500 close on Nov 4 - 1005.75
S&P 500 close on Nov 28 - 896.24

The Obama ‘rally’ is a loss of 11% in the roughly three weeks since he won the election.

Change we can believe in.

This is what happens when you have the spouses of the Obama administration running these shows!

Susan Rice, Obama’s senior policy adviser and a member of Obama’s ‘tansition team’ will become the new face of US at UN.

She is married to Ian Cameron, the new Executive Producer of This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

******

SEE HOW THIS WORKS?!!! Have you seen ABC ‘NEWS’ DISCLOSE ANYWHERE THIS CONNECTION TO OBAMA?!

Ian Cameron has been named executive producer of ABC News This Week with George Stephanopoulos, ABC News President David Westin announced today. In this role Mr. Cameron will oversee production and editorial content of the Sunday morning public affairs show.
