i'm sure i read several threads about how stupid the obama team is because the market had fallen.

son-of-a-gun, they must be geniuses after all.

anyone want the blue plate special, crow with a side of dumb ass.

"dumbass" You are right rick we're back at 7500.. I mean really we were at 14500 but yeah baby 7500 fixes all the problems.

1n jan 2008 the dow was over 12000

bush managed to get it down to 9325 by oct 2008.

and he left it for obama at 7062. if he stayed a few more months, who knows how low he could have gotten it.

the dow is now higher then it was when obama and his steam took over the bush **** pile.

the dow peaked at 13970 in oct 2007.

what did georgie do to prevent the big slide?

October 9, 2007 14164 New all time high on the Dow

DON NOT FEED THE TROLL

ok

The market did not start diving until Obama started leading in the polls. You always see a drop in the market when a Dem Pres leads in the polls.

the market always drops when there is a high or low tide.

the people that make money in the market are the people that tell you when to buy and sell. that's why they applaud at the end of a session, they know how much money they made

Rick, when will you learn - when something bad happens with Obama in office, it is his fault and the fault of the liberal America hating commies that support their president. When something good happens, it is because of something else.

You need to stop using your brain and simply apply the above formula. It is extra effective if you toss in a snide remark about collard greens, street gangs, or welfare as a "joke" - it won't be racist of course, because I'm sure you have friends that are black.

This is what you have to do to be a good, patriotic American and a contributor to this board.

I was so happy to hear the jump of yesterday,,,,,,,,will be glad to see President Obama have many more days like that one......I am in a wait and see mode at the moment. One good day out of 60 plus......not bad.

Sounds like the Republicans over the past few years....

One good day is great and now lets have many more....

Indeed, Charlie. Let's hope this is a step in the right direction.

could not agree more strongly......

Keep it up

Excuse me...hate to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but is spending ANOTHER Trillion dollars the prudent thing to do when Paulson suggested it 6 MONTHS AGO he was rode out of town on a rail.

No, this is Obama's economy. Make no mistake. The blame or credit falls on only his shoulders...well, those and the criminals he put in place!

Paulson proposed buying the assets, but instead just gave the money away.

The fact that you try to pin this mess on Obama is telling - he has made mistakes but was handed this steaming pile when he got into office.

Amazing how much selective memory and revisionist history are required in order to be a partisan hack. Your assertion is laughable.

Funny, I remember how the libs painted Clinton's dot.com bubble burst on Bush because he was President for the same amount of time Obama has been in office.

You forgot that didn't you?

Nothing partisan about it either. Stating fact. When Obama signed the bills it became his economy.

Now to address the matter that I raised to begin with...let's talk about the additional 1 TRILLION that Turbo Tax Timmy is going to need just for these "toxic assets".

Fed already printed an additional Trillion...Obama's bill is looking more like 8-9 trillion because he had his "figures" all wrong...that's including the interest. We're almost up to $160K per man, woman and child and we haven't even tackled universal healthcare, education and "Green" jobs yet!

Let's not let real facts get in the way...let's still talk about the last guy...the what did you call him...pRESIDENT...yeah...keep your focus on the prize Sparky.

I'm not talking about the last guy - I am talking about the economic conditions Obama faced when he got into office.

You must really be pissed about having to defend Bush for so many years, huh? The mental gymnastics that required have obviously scrambled your brain. It's REALLY funny to watch.

I'm not mad. I was disappointed.

W let me down. He said he was a "compassionate conservative"...whatever that means...he was neither.

He spent like a drunken sailor and the spending continued to new highs once Pelosi and Reid took the reins. Obama has spent almost close to 4 times the total amount that Bush spent in 8 years in less than 60 days.

Focus your energy...you're talking about something that isn't part of the equation. You've been HOODWINKED!

And if the stock market tanks again, we'll have the same people trying to deflect blame from His Excellency Barack (Idi Amin) Hussein (boy whiner) Obama.

I seem to remember when the stock market dipped during the Bush administration, there was a lot of blame being thrown at Bush because of his handling of the economy. Of course, when it went to an all-time high, there was little to no credit assigned to Bush either.

What's good for the goose...
