Check this out, touching on the figures on the fifth only.
I believe the source was Reuters. They actually covered it pretty well for the single day.
Some in the media were playing the two day loss up as the worst two day loss since October of 1987. All hands on deck were bailing with buckets to keep anyone from thinking this could have had anything to do with a guy named Obama, or what he has promised to do.
Of course they still played up Bush complicity. His policies caused this. No mention of the bad loans the Democrats forced. Par for the course. History rewritten while you wait.
If McCain/Palin were President/VP Elect, do you think the media would have given them a pass?

I know Bush/CONGRESS spent like crazy but the seeds for this specific meltdown were planted while he was still drinking adult beverages and germinated while he was governor of Texas.
Also has the press even read the Constitution, specifically Article I and II. Again what executive order written by Bush turned the economy south? America has a dictator with UNLIMITED power without Checks and Balances as well as oversight. Wow, who knew.
