I don’t think he gives a darn about the markets. The only thing Obama cares about is power, and this goes for Bill Ayers and the other people behind him as well. However, he knows that if he tips his hand now, it’s going to cause considerable alarm and possibly lead to more calls to investigate his birth certificate and other circumstances about him.
Notice that Ayers and the gang, after briefly surfacing following the election, have disappeared from view. But after all these years of association, and the fact that Ayers engineered much of the situation surrounding the election, they’re not going away. Obama wouldn’t know what to do without them, for one thing; he’s not a smart man, and clearly gets his leftwing talking points from the theorists behind him.
However, he wants power and he’ll get it. If anything, I’d expect things to get worse after the inauguration and after he has no need to hide. Miserification, that is, the creation of a state of misery and crisis, is a key part of left-wing strategy in gaining absolute power, and I think we’re going to see that played out on a devastating scale.
The idea that Obama cares what happens to the US is ridiculous. He hates it and wants to destroy it.
Read my previous post.
I don't think he cares about the markets. However, he does care about power. And these days the large middle class will judge a President on their 401k's and investments.
If he could get away with decimating the economy as a leftist he would be in glory. However, he cares about power more. If his popularity starts to decline, he will do what he can to shore up the markets. I think this is the way he's going to have to go.
God may send so much wrath his way that Obama will be too busy putting out fires to be effective with his agenda, IMHO.
