Wall Street goes as the mood and opinions of investors go. Soon that mood will spread to disenchanted voters.

Yes, but it IS Obama. The media is NOT going to report that one. Sorry.

People will claim the market was already heading in that direction.....funny how they don’t say that about clinton and the 90’s.

How quickly they forget.

It tumbled nearly 4,000 in the waning weeks of the Bush admnistration.

Ever since Mr. Obama became a viable candidate in early 2008, the market has dropped.

Thanks for posting that. I was looking for that figure earlier today.

Also imagine this. The Praise Obama would get for achieving the high-water 14,000 + mark that Bush had back in 2007. An achievement nobody in the media or to the left of center seem to remember.

Michelle, really, that’s embarrassing. The end game has been in the works for thirty years and you know it.

Why stop there. Since the Rats won control in 2006 the stock market has fallen by 4,565.14

12,156.77 on 11/7/06 ------>7,591.63 as of this post

“failed policies of the last eight years”...”failure of the Bush administration”...”Karl Rove”...”Cheney”...”tax breaks for the rich”...”greedy oil companies”...”partisanship”...”Wall Street”...etc.

NEVER Obama’s fault. Unthinkable for the messiah to make a mistake.

Now, imagine if President Bush had presided over a 2,000-point stock market tumble in the same time period — during the first few months of his presidency.

I just hate it when our Right wing pundits are equally as dishonest as Left wing pundits.

Obama was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, less than a month ago. It is fair to say that the markets tumbled 2000 point since Obama's election, but not in the first "few months" of his presidency. Not yet, anyway. Let a few months pass, see where the market is then, and tag him with the blame if he deserves it.

Hard to read this. All you usually thoughtful people here quibbling about what is/was Bush’s, Clinton’s, 0bama’s fault. People elect representatives and leaders, no one of whom, even a president, bears sole responsibility for much beyond his own desk.
0bama’s a convenient pinata here, just like his predecessors. Blame the voters, the marauding swine.

CNN Spin today:

Stocks at 3-month lows / Finally they're cheap

Typical way for them to turn bad news into good.

[jersey117]

Soon that mood will spread to disenchanted voters.

Absolutely. It's happening here in NYC already. Lots of buyers remorse among rats.

Headline?

Bear market unfair? Maybe racist?
Obama wants SEC "Fairness Doctrine"
Too many "big money" conservative investors, "Invest or lose license."

[syriacus]

Change Same old, same old we can believe in.

Obama has never been anything but a corrupt money changer who happened to deliver a FEW good speeches.

Corrupt money changers pretend to be performing a public service, but they really enrich themselves (and the members of their inner clique).
