[Dave]

Thanks Obama

Well, that's just great!

It'll be interesting what the retoric around this will be....'market adjustment', debt-ceiling increase....oh wait!!! It's George Bush's fault!!!

Come on - Isn't there anyone it Washington who has a grip on this crap? I'll tell ya.... this many years of economic instability, members of Congress, the President better starting thinking exit strategy. Voters aren't going to keep putting up with this. IMO, of course!!

[Dave]

So far all Ive heard and seen on boards is its the TEA parties fault.

Democrats are blaming it on the fact that they didnt get to raise taxes.

Reality is there werent any significant spending cuts in the debt ceiling bill and the markets are reacting to that.

[Bad Mojo]

Which is odd, because today is the first day in almost a week that my stocks have gone up. Granted, they didn't go up much, but its better than going in the other direction.

[Dave]

Recheck them. The market is down 500 points

This Sucks Big time. Down 513 points, Happy Birthday Mr. President.

Obama and libs wants the stock market to tumble. These people can't stand seeing people making money. They want everyone to suffer like their sorry ***. Not only spread the wealth, but spread the pain. They think if I can't afford to invest, you should be able to afford to lose all you invested.

Well,Odumbo made it happen today....-634 on the Dow,and gold over 1,700/oz

I did hear that the plaque in the oval office that said the "Buck Stops Here" is being taken down,and replacing it with one that says..."IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!"

What a LOSER-in-Chief!!

Forgot to add...S&P also said if they would have passed cut/cap/and balance....de-rating would not have happened!

[WD40]

What a LOSER-in-Chief!!

No kidding, I will never get back what I lost today. I may have to jump in the morning.
