CNN: “President Barack Obama presented a reassuring assessment of the U.S. economic situation Monday, calling the country’s problems “imminently solvable.” The solution?

Was this speech supposed to help or was it designed to push the average investor off the cliff?

Yep, his body language and demeanor was revealing. This guy is way over his head, and the look on his face alone was like looking at someone getting ready to serve time in prison, or someone who was just told their home blew up because they left the gas on.
No joke.

You are absolutely right:
By Brendan Conway
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)—U.S. stocks tumbled Monday and gold surged as investors fled from risky assets during the first trading session since Standard & Poor’s downgraded the federal government’s credit rating late Friday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 406 points, or 3.6%, to 11038 as 2 p.m. EDT approached, plumbing fresh session lows midafternoon. The market was on track to take another chunk from investor portfolios after last week’s swoon, which came as investors lost faith in European leaders’ ability to stave off a debt crisis, and as fears grew that the economic slowdown would deepen into a recession.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index tumbled 55 points, or 4.1%, to 1150, with financial and energy stocks falling hardest. The Nasdaq Composite slumped 120 points, or 4.7%, to 2413.

Nothing personal, of course. ;-). Obama just wants to “consume” all of us who insist on free markets, individual liberty and the free exercise of religion (other than Islam, of course), and who also believe that government is the problem, not the answer.

I love Palin and I love West.
I heard West on some show say about Geithner:
“When you open that refrigerator door, the light don’t go on.”
Man, he cracks me up! LOLOLOL.
