I notice today that the DOW is tanking, down more than 500 points. Co-incidentally three of six polls show McCain gaining. Could someone like a George Soros or multi-billionaire arab be manipulating the stock market? Whatever is bad for America (losing DOW) seems to be good for Obama (higher poll numbers). With the poor DOW showing today, I suspect Obama's numbers will be much higher tomorrow. Could someone more computer literate than I bring up the last few weeks of both polling and the stock market for comparison? If there is no coralation at all, then I guess i'm just being paranoid.
Maybe it isn’t Soros, but someone in our government that keeps driving the market down.
I just heard an interview on FOX News with their financial director, and she mentioned that there seems to be an adjustment to the financial plan (by Bernanke I believe she said) every day, and the market reacts badly every time he speaks about the latest plan.
My apologies, but there were others in the room talking and I wasn’t able to pay close attention to exactly what was said, but that was the gist of it.
You really think so? Not me. Way too many dummies in America. Hate to say it but how else can you explain people who are voting for a person with NO experience and arguing that he has more than Palin. I had someone tell me that Governor experience doesn’t count!!
Oh, got another one for ya. Been working on permutations, combinations etc. in a math class for my education degree. My math prof told me some students (this is a student planning to TEACH OUR KIDS) actually didn’t know there are 26 letters in the alphabet.
Unreal. Yep, but they can vote.
Well, I remember things being bad but never have seen the likes of this. And the reason it’s so much worse now is because we know what’s at stake. Prior to 2001, it was just our own in-house troubles; now we have our own and the “barbarians at the gate.”

I’m only one woman, LOL!
How many Americans do you think actually own guns (not including the gangbangers and criminals)? Do you have any stats? My hubby is a hunter and has guns - hunting rifles, some pistols - I don’t know how many. They’re locked in a gun safe that is as thick as a tank and looks like a bank vault (got that when the kid was younger just so none of the boys got an idea in their head to look at the guns). My son had to go to hunter safety courses and so on and he’s also an enthusiast, but I don’t think the masses have guns.
