Obama News Conference

[X5rolls]

No, the market didn't like it at all - can you blame them?

Phil Flynn, an analyst at Alaron Trading Corp., said investors appear concerned about the inflationary effects of massive government spending.

"People are running to gold as a reaction to the speech and are running away from the stock market. And of course that's pressuring the oil down," he said.

I may be sliding over to the VeryUsedKia board soon.

Didn't the market drop with the Bush plan as well?

Why does everything have to be an "Obama vs. Bush" contest?

I'm sorry, but just because Bush was an awful president does not give Obama any excuses. If the best thing we can say about Obama one day was that he was a better president than Bush, then you can sum up his presidency as a major failure.

My point is that the market does not always rally on good news.

The market rallies when there is good news for investors. Good news for everyone else does not always mean good news for investors. Most people are not invested in the stock market, and thus the target of the stimulus package is not Wall Street.

think about this

If someone left a "BIG TURD" in the
middle of your living room i believe
that would promote some continued discussion.

Bush left a "BIG TURD" for Mr. Obama
and that fact will continue to cause some.
to argue that his presidency stunk.

So... In a way I guess your right.
If the best thing we can say about
Obama one day was that he was a
better president than Bush, then you
can sum up his presidency as a major
victory compared to the last president.

I think you can thank Clinton for a portion of that "turd" as well with all the great things he did for Fannie Mae. I honestly do hope that Obama is a much better President than you know who, or we are all in big trouble.
