Haha, Bush's slip ups are amazing. Like, they are "lol" funny... he's like a master comedian. I bet he'd be a lot of fun at a bar.

True , america will learn that a stuffed shirt that can read a teleprompter and speak eloquently with a resonant tone is no subsituted for great leadership.

It elected an empty shell and things are going to get worse because lack of confidence in him is growing more and more.

Talk what you want about Bush, but neither of his elections nor any of his speeches did what Obama's have done to the stocket market.

This is just the beginning.

Yeah but nothing drastic has happened in the last month in the markets relative what has happened over the last year. You can't blame the "stocket" market on Obama's speeches.

Actually the DJI average has dropped drastically in the last month, even considering the overall slide of last year:

Perhaps it is not Obama's fault but he certaintly has done nothing so far that has stopped it. I remember him saying something to the effect of "whats good for wall st. isnt necessarily good for main street" in an attempt to minimalize the importance of the stock market as an indicator. But I beleive that the Obama administartion (along with Bush) has invested billions of tax dollars into public companies. If Obama insists on investing main streets money, you would think that it would be good for that investment not to sink.

EDIT: cool, a smiley face in the link

You're kidding right? Based on what?
All the financial and news articles out today are talking about how there is zero consumer confidence due to his initial negativism after taking office.
That speech (or sermon which ever) was attempt to reverse the damage he's already done.
To believe otherwise is to fall for the swoon effect which the media still hasn't shaken off.
The dow hasn't dropped this much since a president took office in over 50 years.
