But, but, but it's Bush's fault......

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen faster under President Obama than under any new president in at least 90 years, according to a review conducted by Bloomberg.

Bloomberg reports that since Inauguration Day, the Dow has fallen 20 percent, leading at least one investor to dub this the "Obama bear market." The Dow has also dropped 31 percent since Election Day.

Can you add a line to pull up what I think of Obama?

Ah, but then I would undoubtedly be banned.

Obama could take decisive, meaningful action, but he won’t, it’s not the liberal way. He needs to eliminate the “mark to market” rule for financial assets and re-impose the uptick rule on short selling. He can do these things with his pen, no Congress required. Then he needs to freeze credit default swap transactions until the market volatility calms down. CDS counterparties are holding the bag for tens of $trillions in useless paper. That’s trillions with a “T.” These things I mention will be done eventually, but maybe not until it is too late. Obama is living in a house that is on fire and he is waiting for the dog to pee on it to put it out. Oh wait, he can’t decide what kind of dog to get....

See posts #18 and #19.

Creepiest of all is it can tell, from your public IP address, where you are located geographically, to within a couple of miles, maybe less.

There's no magic involved. EVERY WEBSITE YOU VISIT can do exactly the same thing. The information is provided automatically by your browser and ISP -- it's a standard part of the web browsing process.

You can use an "anonymizer" proxy server to avoid that, but there are downsides to that as well.

I don’t think Obama even wants to “remake” the United States into a socialist state.

I think he wants to KILL all the white people in America, through economic chaos, freezing, starving, terrorist attack, etc.—and is willing to see a lot of black people die, too, if that’s what it takes.

Just as he is happy to see most black pregnancies end in murder, just as long as white babies are murdered, too.
