WASHINGTON – In sheer size, the economic measures announced by President Barack Obama to address "a crisis unlike we've ever known" are remarkable, rivaling and in many cases dwarfing the New Deal programs that Franklin D. Roosevelt famously created to battle the Great Depression.
Winning approval was a political tour-de-force for the new administration.
Yet gloom and uncertainty persist about the plan's ability to deliver a cure for the economy's severe ailments.
Stocks plunged to six-year lows after the burst of bill signings, bailout announcements and presidential pledges.

Obama himself is a crisis unlike we’ve ever known.
Just about everybody with two nickels to rub together knows that most of what 0bama is doing that is not absolutely wrong is being done ineffectively.
He is truly an idiot.
Obama is too stupid to know what he is doing. He is just ideology driven.
And that Ideology is Marxism.
Obama Still has not proved his eligibility to be President. This is going beyond criminal, it is getting into traitorous. A lot of Congress critters have dirty hands.
Instead of prison, it is reaching a far more serious level.
Treason.
He is in a hurry to purchase an even bigger Depression.
UH? Absolutely no bipartisan support, but bipartisan opposition. That's a tour-de-force? I guess literally. Lets see how well he fares on the next piece of legislation. Smell the opinion moving in a different directions. I can.

Why would the stock market keep falling, if investors had confidence in the steps Obama has taken to deal with our economic problems?
The market reflects the collective judgement of millions of investors. I know that not everyone selling is doing so because of what Obama has done. But, it stands to reason that if investors thought that their investments and businesses would do better under Obama’s plans, that the market would have started going up.

We went past full eclipse last week.
Now we move to black hole Stargate speed.
He doesn't understand economics or the financial system. The marsh mouse bill won't save the economy.
