    Come on ex, it's clear that much of this has everything to do with taking advantage of a crisis "to do things that you could not do before" and nothing to do with limiting pain. His agenda REQUIRES Americans to suffer those pains.

    Yeah that's it, Americans are loving Obama and his oh so competent administration. So competent in fact, it's already being reported there's chatter in the administration that Geithner was a mistake.

    Update: It's not just reported White House chatter, his Senate support is crumbling. Yep, this is the kind of hope and change America needed all right. Could this be record time for an administration to fall apart?

    Update no. 2, greed is no longer evil... it's exactly what the White House wants.

    Hello again,

    Due to the present economic downturn, we have to cut back. Andre will be laid off.

    Nah... he just managed to keep his mouth shut for once.

    See, when Obama opens his mouth, he starts talking about "fairness" and "redistribution of wealth" and "everybody needs to have skin in the game" and other idiotic comments. And the market tanks every time.

    But when he keeps his mouth shut, the market has a chance to gain a little confidence, and it goes up a little.

    There's a clear pattern here.

    So your saying Elliot that if he keeps quiet long enough people forget he even exists and is now running the show, and in turn the market regains confidence?
    Sounds more like one of you righty's wet dreams.
    If there that stupid no wonder we're in so much trouble. And I don't doubt many of them are that stupid.

    Skell,

    One thing is certain. The market lacks confidence right now. The election of Obama (according to his supporters at least) was supposed to restore confidence in the economy. That does not seem to have taken place.

    In fact, the exact opposite has taken place. Every time Obama speaks, it seems as if he's coming up with some new program designed to throw the economic system into a downward spiral. TARP 2, the "Stimulus Bill", the S-CHIP expansion, the "omnibus budget bill"... every one of these things costs money, which means either increasing taxes to pay for it, or increasing the money supply and creating massive inflation to pay for it. Neither of these two options are healthy for an already ailing economy. People are scared of their economic futures and every time Obama opens his mouth, he proposes something that is going to cost us more money and drive the economy into worse conditions.

    No, I'm not fooling myself into believing that if Obama just shuts up people will forget he exists. His policy changes will make it impossible to forget that he's here, regardless of what he says or not.

    Jon points out the idiocy in connecting Obama's public approval rating and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

    Unfortunately people do see the equation. Every time one of his tax dodgers or the anointed one himself speaks, the Dow Jones averages falls like a rock. People who have control of the money markets have no confidence in the administrations ability to do anything but drag this country further into a depression. Heck, even the socialist countries of Europe understand that his policies are doomed to be one of the biggest failures in world history!

    Hey koolaid sipper, Long time no nasty comments from you.
    Yep, they understand. Just last week the chief tax dodger was in Europe trying to get Germany to go along and deficit spend enormous amounts or euros to get their economy going and they basically laughed at him.
