I guess if we're going to blame him for the bad days, he should receive equal praise for the good days then?

They were hoping for something different. Instead, what did we get:
1. Cap & Trade - new taxes on energy
2. Tax FAMILIES & SMALL BUSINESSES grossing 250k and over.
3. Bush tax cuts going away thereby increasing top marginal tax rate
4. Justification for pork barrell spending to oblivion.
5. Bailouts for reckless borrowers.

my point is that every time the market goes down, people blame obama.
everytime the market goes up, they are silent.
the ignore big things like AIG announcing they're about to become defunct.

right now, the problem is far bigger than Obama, however, he is making it worse.

I agree. I wish they would implement a sales tax instead of an income tax. An extra dollar on some items wouldn't hurt much and could bring in billions of revenue. Personally, if i were in charge, I'd add extra sales tax to all the unhealthy shit out there. Add 50 cents to cigarettes, add some to useless sugary junk food and snacks. If people statred to hurt from that, maybe they'd move away from that stuff, the end result being less medical expense burdens for lung cancer, emphysema, diabetes, obesity. Too bad, it will never happen.

so we can blame monday and wednesday's performance on Obama.
But the Tuesday and thursday rallies, that's just normal market behavior, right?
The market is volatile and moved like this for Bush too.

Teusday was based on Bernake saying he was not going to nationalize the banks, nothing Obama said or did.
today, however, is based on the housing figures, Obama's new taxes and socialism, and a march towards a depression.
Do me a favor, go watch the video I posted from Schiff about the speech last night.
Tell me what you disagree with.

Yup, if we banned the democratic party the dow would go to 20K overnight.

33386's interpretation of how the market reacted this week is what I heard on CNBC from a couple market specialists. Investors and the market react to financial news. Yesterday, they heard nothing encouraging from Obama's speach to react too.
One danger in back and forth discussions with banks and gov bailouts is this: Big banks are holding off on liquidating bad assets because they are waiting to hear if the government are going to assume responsibility for those assets (ie holding them to get a better deal from taxpayor $). We need to do it or don't do it and let the financial sector and markets deal with this issue.

Don't kid yourself. These are just bumps on the way down.

DOW rallied 236 points on Tuesday thanks to Obama's incredile leadership
So you're saying Obama's leadership lacks credibility?

According to 240 Obama's flatulence also dictates global warming and the dog he selected for his daughters has helped the economy because now kennels worldwide are forcing dogs of that breed to mate in anticipation of a rabid consumer feeding frenzy. 240 stick to asinine conspiracy theories and mindless republican bashing.
