Did anyone just hear during the short Q&A with Obama & the British PM, Obama's comparison of the stock market to daily political polls?

Is he freakin' serious?

[JBonvillain]

Is he freakin' serious? Well, last I heard, unless you were a serious bettin' man, one doesn't have their savings and retirement tied to political polls. He also said he's not worried about the daily gyrations of the market. Well he should, because the market looks forward...it doesn't look back, and what the markets are saying is that they don't like the current policies of bailing out banks, bailing out people who should have never been loaned money in the first place. If we continue this mentality of survival of the UNFIT, then we are doomed for sure!! He is so arrogant!!

Well, if it is shouldn’t he resign. Because his numbers a tanking and tanking fast.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

just another way of trying to say

“it doesn’t matter, only what I, Obama The Merciless, say matters. these piddling polls/stock markets/whatever are of no interest to me and they should be of no interest to you”

I read in an earlier thread that Obama had declined doing a presser with the PM, and that Brown was put out by it. What gives?

[DOGHEAD]

I saw it. Absolutely unbelievable! Then he went on to talk about how we should have a Global economic policy... So i guess now we can bail out Europe also... Damn.

[JBonvillain]

I think I posted this in the wrong area. My apologies.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Well Zero, yer tracking poll is tanking.

[raybbr]

Is he freakin' serious?

Yes, he is. Only he thinks it's inversely proportional.

[HollyB]

He’s in over his head. DId anyone ever get his grades or GPA info from when was in school?

[Califreak]

[JBonvillain]

He should, but we know the reality of that. He is another Chavez!

Barry speaks, the market tanks.

Well....Obama Did Bet/invest in the Politcal Polls for Years.
Now, I don’t think too many other Americans do that .....not Many at all.
So Obambi was just talking from personal experience of makinng MILLIONS OFF OF THE POLITICAL POLLS.
for BHO it may be a True statement ...Screw everyone else......so we have noticed, BIG time.

No, the most transparent administraion is history, won’t release Barry’s transcripts. /sarcasm

[mrmargaritaville]

barack obama is economically illiterate. So him making such a statement makes a good bit of sense.

[Bainbridge]

Or his birth certificate.

[Bainbridge]

Or his birth certificate.

"DId anyone ever get his grades or GPA info from when was in school?"

Heck no, it's tied to his nationality and name at the time of admission.

DOW was up 10, and within 10 minutes of him opening his mouth, it’s slams to -22. Those “ gyrations “ he says he’s not worried about are all but cleaning me out.

I wish he would just STFU.
