WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is comparing the stock market to the daily tracking polls used during campaigns, saying that paying too close attention to Wall Street's "fits and starts" could lead to bad long-term policy. Obama spoke to reporters Tuesday after meeting in the Oval Office with visiting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Obama said he is not measuring policies against "the day-to-day gyrations of the stock market," but by whether lending is flowing more freely, businesses are investing and the unemployed are going back to work. He said he is "absolutely confident" that those things will happen. But the president also said it will take time for the mistakes of the past to work their way through the system.

This is exactly as Glenn Beck says. Obama's method of obtaining equality for all is to bring everyone down.
Why would anyone take this clown’s word for anything that has to do with the real world?
A couple trillion here, a couple trillion there, who cares. Communism is grand, it will save you all.
The face of true evil is looking you in the eye.

OK, then Obama, you failed, you're the worst President in History, Barack Hussien Hoover, the worst economy in 233 years, your preyed on our fears, etc., etc.
For the sake of argument, assume that Obama were an undercover, foreign agent planted to destroy the United States. If this were true, what would Obama be doing right now that is any different than what he is doing right now?
Let’s all watch the business orders and unemployment rate, then comment again on bamsters policies
If the "F" is changed to "Sh" and the "st" is changed to "f", it would be far more accurate.
The real question is how long it is going to take for the mistakes of the present to work their way through the system.
This is so obvious that someone must have said it already but.... Doesn’t “normal” usually mean it happens a lot? When was the last time the stock market lost half it’s value in 2 years? The depression? So in the last 100 years it’s happened twice? That doesn’t fit anyone’s definition of normal.
as in england, a 2 class society it will be in america..the haves and the have nots....welcome everyone to the have nots...
Pssst, Mr. Messiah, those things aren't happening and the markets are telling you they don't think your program is gonna make them happen in the future.
It looks like all fits and no starts to me.
I’m having a fit, because of his start......................
Obama’s method of obtaining equality for all is to bring everyone down.
That’s so much easier (and quicker) than lifting everyone UP! Capital destruction on display! Bolsheviks out of control!
Will the little marxist ever realize that once he's killed the host there will be nothing for him and his fellow parasites to feed on?
I didn’t know NASCAR drivers were into FR
So far, all we’ve been seeing in response to Obama’s policies are the fits. Where are the starts?
To grow an economy businesses need to gauge risks, there is no method available for Obamanomics.
Capital flight, capital strike, investors strike, banker strike, etc...you’d think Obama could read the ‘tea leaves’!
BDS is still rampant!
