 |

I am curious, and I mean this with no sarcasm.
If November 4th brought a President John McCain, and the markets plunged on November 5th and 6th... the left would cry to high heaven that was a sign that John McCain was bad for the economy. And the world, including our nation, was worried about his policies therefore the sell off.
Yet, that didn't happen. Obama was elected... and my scenario above is EXACTLY what is happening to the markets.
So is there a difference? Other than being biased? Why aren't we asking those questions?
I really hope I am wrong... and Obama will be good for us. But Bloodstone in another thread nailed it right on the head. Obama said in his acceptance speech his change may not even come in his first term. Why not? Isn't that what he promised? Isn't that the knowledge he carries as "the one" to lead this country to a beautiful fairy tale ending?
I was about to correct the word ending -- but maybe its fitting.

Dow flips upsidedown once Obama gets elected.
Hurray for change! |

Maybe because the market has been going way up, and way down, for the past 2 months.
The market plunged on election day... And the next day, within minutes of Bush going on tv and yapping away, the market plunged another couple hundred points. When the market initially tanked in late August, McCain was in the lead.
The treatment of Bush is a disgrace? Obama hasn't even taken the god damn oath of office yet, and you people are already making insinuations, and flat out accusations that he is already to blame for stuff... This is ridiculous.
I'm curious as to whether the holier than thou Bush supporters here, who spent 7 years telling everyone they needed to support Bush, or they were anti-American's, are gonna practice what they preach regarding President Obama? Doubtful. |

Doubtful indeed, thus far I have observed quite to the contrary.
Bloodstone! Jaack! You anti-american bastards you.  |

What most people donīt seem to get is that Obama is not the only one who will rule the country.
He has lots of other people around him that have experiences on all fields and who in my knowledge are the ones to set up scenarios for the President.
Or do you all think he is the one with the power?
If you do then you are all deluded.  |

I agree. Just like with Bush, it's important to consider those a president surrounds himself with, too. |

If McCain had won wall street would not have become steady and started climbing again.
If you haven't noticed we are on a train wreck and we are the engine. We will still be reaping the full impact for many more months to come if not even longer. You could have voted Mother Teresa into the White House and she wouldn't be able to stop the train at this point either. |

The major contributing factor being that she's dead ... although in her particular case, that may be of little to no consequence.   |

Oh really? The way you and others like you talk itīs very easily to assume you only think the President has the right to do anything he or she wants.
Now either you are simply stupid that itīs only Obama that decides everything or you are a racists blaming him when he hasnīt even begun his job yet.
You are one of these two. |

Yeah kiddo!
Perhaps you'd better stick to scrutinising Swedish. That's not to say you won't achieve competence in decyphering the English language some day. |
