You're right bitches, McCain would be owning this shit.
In fact, we'd all be toasting DOW 15,000 is we just got those corporate tax rates to zero, oh well too bad we chose the black guy, nothing but the gulag for us now.

Sensitive aren't we?
Of course much is the Bush admins fault. But there is plenty to go around. No one and I mean no one has clean hands in this.
That's why all the finger pointing is meaningless at this point. We need to worry about fixing the problem.

Ya, but we need to understand why the problem happened, in order to fix it.
If you have a lot of drunk driving, but no laws against it, you can't fix the problem simply by improving the medical care and first responder budgets.
When the wealthy are able to dominate the system to the point they can force the rules to be good for them and bad for society, that's the problem and finger pointing is needed.

You fix it by harshly punishing those who injure another while driving drunk.
Based on what I'm seeing in the stimulus bill, apparently the Democrat solution would be to give the driver another beer and tell them to be more careful next time.
The market dumped after turbo tax boy basically said he hasnt a damned clue what he going to do. Then the stimulus bill put another jab in the heart.

Schadenfreude.
Wall Street hasn't been behaving rationally for quite some time. They are more skittish than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs and german shepherds. At least there are some good bargains to be had. My guess is that it will bottom out below 7k briefly. Regardless of who is in power, the wall st. bankers are beginning to reap what they have sown.

Oh the irony...
I was pointing out that Obama won, not Mccain, so diverting to McCain isnt valid. Thank you for backing me up.

ROFL. That whistling sound you heard was the point soaring far over your head. Our economic situation today would be exactly the same had McCain been elected, making your childish dig at Obama purely pointless partisan stupidity. You may want to stop digging now.
(By the way, it's dishonest to alter someone's quote without showing you've done so.)

markets are rarely rational in the short run, especially dot with current amounts of uncertainty.
