Wish he’s shut his trap...

Well, Captain Phillips heard as much, as a hostage, out of our leader as WE did during his "hostage tenure".

Now he can't shut his trap....

[EGPWS]

W's percentage drops were much greater.

B.S. to the second.

Let's hustle him back out of the country so he won't do any more damage and the markets can go up!

I don't think Antarctica has ever had a presidential visit. He'd have a captive audience at McMurdo.

Thanks, just a bit of me via life's piles of trials.

You left out the part about the MSM spinning everything W said in order to tank the economy while they spin everything Obammie the Commies says to prop it up.

[HollyB]

Do you have any information that can back this up. Pick the S&P on a several occassions throughout W’s time in office when speeches were given. I’m interested in seeing if there is the same consistent trend (not just one time) that we have seen recently.

[Moonman62]

Yes, they do spin for Obama, but they didn’t have to do anything to tank the economy under W.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Not sure why your kissing the commie’s ass. But keep on puckering up. Pretty soon it will be required, not voluntary.

[Busywhiskers]

I knew I should have sold everything when the market opened this morning.

[Hulka]

Your’e kidding. . .right (office-bound, no access to the talk).

[Moonman62]

As early as 2001 I was commenting on the correlation between W's economic speeches and huge drops in the stock market. The FReeper excuse at the time was that we didn't need a stock market.

If people keep defending W's horrible presidency, the GOP isn't going to change and they will keep losing elections, because the current GOP leadership could care less as they get their share of the loot, much as it was between Hoover and Reagan.

HOT TIPS FOR PLAYING THE STOCK MARKET.

a) Get Obama’s speaking schedule.
b) Buy stocks after Obama speaks.
c) Sell stocks right before Obama speaks.

Bingo!!! It’s hasn’t failed one time. I think you have it nailed.

[mojitojoe]

His anger is coming through loud and clear, isn’t it? Not what one wants in a CIC. He sounds imbalanced.

I usually don't watch but I saw a few minutes of it this time. I agree, he did seem angry and a a little loony. I'm not sure he can handle the criticism he is going to get, like ALL presidents get. I think he is in way over his head and he knows it. MO is loving it. She is playing movie star.

If people keep defending W's horrible presidency,...

They will never promote the destruction of freedom via Obamanomics.

[mojitojoe]

One thing to keep in mind that I have heard many people say...............

The banking industry and Wall Street aren’t happy with zer0. They are both large and powerful. They don’t like him telling them what to do. If they turn on him, he’s history. A one term president.

Opossum address before noon? Buy stocks to sell on the “Limbaugh Bounce”!

RE: “He’s talking about REFORMING health care starting with Medicare and Medicaid. Too much waste.
Senior citizens get your affairs in order!”

Yep, you think he will just have us ‘seniors’ lined up and shot since we are too expensive?

"Yes, they do spin for Obama, but they didn’t have to do anything to tank the economy under W."

4.0% unemployment, stock market over 15,000, increased federal revenue via the tax cuts... you call that tanking the economy?

[Moonman62]

4.0% unemployment, stock market over 15,000, increased federal revenue via the tax cuts..

It was all fake and unsustainable (government spending bubble, housing bubble, commodities bubble). How much of it was left before W left office?
