DOW was down 258.

Now it’s only down 259 (Typical CNBC comment)

Isn't that the truth. When the Dow has risen, it's because of Obama. On days like today, no mention of Obama or his harebrained porkulus bill.

The Kenyan Manchild is definitely in over his head.

It’s a victory for the NEA, I suppose. We finally have an electorate stupid enough to elect an idiot.

273 and dropping...... Has the One spoken yet? He had an awful lot to say during the campaign. He promised the autoworkers in Detroit jobs... he promised the coal miners in PA and OH jobs.... He ran and got elected on the economy and hs is failing to deliver. That “inherited it” B.S. isn’t going to cut it. The markets have gone south since he was elected.

Talk about Quick Change that Obama promised us! "What the hell kind of a clown are you?", "The crying inside kind...I guess" "Exact change or off the bus!"

Obama is so stupid he probably believes that "signing" his stimulus bill into law is going to bring the market up again!

He's such a tool.

...Indeed, the markets will relentlessly outwit the incompetents running the joint.

***I hope you are right...we’re retired and although we don’t depend on “the market” for living expenses, it’s nice to have some “just in case $$.”

Meeting with our financial guy this A.M. and I honestly am so floored by this news I can’t even think of anything intelligent to ask him.

We can’t pull out... actually we could but something tells me that what Hussein wants us to do and I won’t give him the satisfaction.

Not quite panicked, yet, but damn close to it. I wish someone would wake me up from this nightmare...

They understand that Obama is tanking the economy intentionally.

“I predict 6900 will be the bottom when it tanks in June....hey, I can speculate as good as anyone else!”

The Dow will be at 5,000 by May Day.

"Too late to bail out now."

I don't honestly know about that. Is the cup half full or half empty?

Well said, though I don’t think anyone could extract us from what we’ll have to go through here economically. But I’ll remain in full blame mode as far as the elitist view of the left that the tyrrannical and Marxist idiocies they propose are any kind of solution for anyone other than themselves and their power and revenge-hungry minions.

I hate to say it, but not even the Democrats hold that much sway over the stock market. Mainly People just like to panic and run in herds over a cliff.. the Sheeple( who are quite possibly mainly Democrats) who invest in the stock market. Good ridance to them. Be glad when they all jump, so the stock market will reflect the value of the stock in the companies they represent, and American businesses can get back to business.

If the World markets are depressed, there is no where I had rather be than in the United States Economic Market.

I still have faith in American companies and their productivity, and their ability to produce a product that will generate a dividend to their stock holders.
