In the wake of one of the US's biggest financial setbacks, president Obama did nothing to calm investors down in advance of Monday's markets opening.
After the S&P credit ratings downgrade on Friday, president Obama celebrated his 50th birthday party in Chicago.
We had expected the nation’s leader to hold a press conference in an effort to calm investors and assure them that the US is safe and good investment.
Or at least release a statement.
There is a very real concern that come Monday, August 8th ,investors will drive the financial markets down.
Assurances from the US president that the U.S. is going to do more to appease investors , would have helped stability in the Markets.
Love it when he comes on and speaks. He is the polar opposite of Obama.
The sociopathic narcissist bastard would have to admit that he was wrong, ain't going to happen and besides that it's the weekend........Party, party.
Usually the proctologist visits the person turning 50, not the other way around.
Anything Bozo would have said would have made things worse. .... Hey I forgot. He gave his speech on Friday AM about unemployment and suggested that companies hiring veterans should get a tax break. The market took a nose dive during his "pep talk".
That's a time tested leftist tactic which I'm afraid could be attempted to keep a leftist in the WH post Nov 2012.
I’m sure that this isn’t surprising anyone. Obama is Hoover and Carter all rolled into one and there is nothing he can grab out of any of the historical playbooks that will rescue his presidency from this disaster. And anyway, he’s too busy off throwing a temper tantrum where no one can see.
I was watching the Reagan/Carter debates from 1980 and Carter looked like a deer in the headlights; and I mean really paranoid. I can only imagine what Obama is going to look like after all this stuff going down.
Alleged organizer. Hell, we don't even know if Obama is capable of organizing his socks.
When Harvey Kurtz did the job the Mainstream Media wouldn't do, that is trace Obama's working life job-to-job, employer-to-employer, he discovered some very important trends in Obama's career.
Chiefly, every job he ever started, he departed before it was complete. Second, every job he ever had, he left in order to seek "more power". Note: not "more money", not "better working conditions", not "more job satisfaction". He was always after "more power" -- simply because his current job didn't allow him to do what he wanted to do.
In the end, what we have in the Oval Office is a man of no accomplishment who fully expects that, since he occupies the office of the President of the United States -- "the most powerful man in the Free World" -- that he has the power to do anything he wants.
Simply by snapping his fingers...
“..president Obama did nothing to calm investors down in advance of Monday’s markets opening.”
They have no intention of calming the markets. When I say they, you must look at who Obama is the mouth piece for, social progressive. They must have a crises in order to “we have the solution” They are coming for our wealth to redistribute to the rest of the world.
If you look around and don’t see the dumbest guy in the room, you’re it. obama does this in every room he’s ever in.
It’s not obama. It’s his puppet masters. And we only suspect who that is. I’d say Soros is definitely one of them. And I’m sure there are some “gop” elites in the bunch, too.
IMHO we need to stop dumping exclusively on Hussein. We have to wrap him around the necks of the Democrat Party, so they are indistinguishable. They enabled this lightweight, they hyped him, they hid his record. They are completely responsible for this walking failure. They own him and they should be branded: Barack Obama (DEMOCRAT).
Agreed,
Obama is the current symbolic leader of the philosophy we knew would bring the nation to this spot.
He is truly a vile individual.
Did it ever occur to you that the investors are the ones taxed at the highest rate? Destroying the savings and retirement plans of the middle class will make them dependent on government programs thus advancing his socialist agenda.
No, it occurred to me you risk your money on your own decisions and if you lose it that is not my problem.
