DOW Loves the Stimulus..Down 258

[Darkwolf377]

I have the radio on, and the FOX news guys is practically in tears with excitement—”The wheels are up and Air Force One is in the sky, as President Barack Obama is on his way to sign the....” blah blah blah.

Good God, the worship for this guy is embarassing.

I Hope that when this all shakes out, I still have some Change in my pocket.

The whole reason for passing this through congress last Friday is so they can get that Presidents Day slow trade buffer to minimize the impact. They knew this would tank the DOW. It could be much much worse than what we are seeing this morning.

But the liberals in my office cube are still blaming Bush. I had to put my iPod earphones on just to shut them out.

Out at the Wal*Mart, on the bottom shelf in the grains aisle, they have a ten pound sack of rice for about four bucks.

Do yourself a favor next time you’re there. Grab a couple.

i had called 6000 as the target by 0bama and crew back in september.

at 6000, they’d be able to push us closer to the edge.. keeping people in need of the social program / government assistance

thank goodness for change. in 2007, the markets were at 14,000. now with change... they are going below 7,000.

excellent!

we need a road construction sign with the tanking stock market in the background and ‘dems at work’ in the foreground

Anyone know what the DOW was on:

Bush Mid-Term Inauguration Day 2004:

Election Day 2008

Obama’s Inauguration Day:

This would be interesting information to use as we go through the next four years of revisionist history.

Good advice.
I’ve actually bought a couple at Sam’s Club a while back...after I read someone here at FR say they had done so.

My dad and I have plans to plant an even bigger garden this year, too.

This is seed catalog season, right now.

Cyborg and I are planting victory gardens this summer. Seed potatoes, massive beds of onions and garlic, early/often tomatoes for canning, zucchinis and squash for the freezer (soups), etc. We are tilling under big patches of side lawn to do it.

Nothing exotic, purely staples.

In 15 minutes 0bama will have been in office just 4 weeks.

Dow on 11/4/08: 9625
Dow on 2/17/09: 7589 -2036 (-21%)

I've posted this before, but:

1. This market crash is Bush's Fault. It's axiomatic because anything bad that happens to anybody anywhere from now until the end of time is Bush's Fault. Just ask any member of the media if you need confirmation. President Nappy O'Buckwheat is blameless, now and forever.

2. "People", sheep or otherwise, are not what is causing the markets to tank. Small investors, even as a group, have only a marginal impact on the stock market. The moneychangers and market manipulators (who control our economy & media and also pull the puppet strings on our President and his party) who run the big banks & brokerages are the ones who can (and do) send the market down with a flick of their collective fingers.

3. Why? As one poster already mentioned, to impoverish more citizens and make them more dependent on our new National Socialist Welfare State Government - i.e., the Democrats. The manipulators themselves don't lose a dime when the market tanks; in fact, they do quite well (ever hear of "short selling"?) - THEY aren't going to be 'impoverished' anytime soon.

But what they OUGHT to be doing is serving as fertilizer in some cemetery, and perhaps once enough (formerly) hard-working, taxpaying patriotic Americans find themselves in severely hard times, that's exactly where the manipulators will wind up. Hopefully.
