Obama > Jesus

Take that Jeebus!!!!

Seriously though...the cult of personality around President Obama is a bit scary. There are many people, including several that I work with, who think he can do no wrong.

How can you be a hero when you haven't done anything yet (besides plunge the DOW into a free fall with no end in sight)?

Didn't the Beatles make a similar claim at one point? 😛

I wouldn't put any stock in that article.

Can't exactly blame that on the President.

Of course not. We only blame things like that on Mr. Bush. :roll:

The DOW jumped head first into a free-fall the day after Mr. Obama was elected. Basically, investors knew they needed to get their $$$ out of the markets before insane tax increases are passed - and we know they are coming.

That started before Obama actually did anything. Some would say it was in freefall waaay before he took office. Now before the "uhhhh....muh...buh...bush" parrots chime in, I would like to point out that isn't to say I'm blaming any former president. These drops seem to be more self-inflicted on and by Wall Street. They have been letting their emotions get the best of them instead of actual facts. They have really been acting like lemmings going off this cliff. The stimulus/spending/recovery/whatever bill may be the first such action that would have a meaningful effect, but to be honest we've barely had time for it to get ramped up after passage.

look at a one year chart of the DJIA and it is very clear that the beating was taken while GWB was still President and before the election.

Ah! It's all so clear, now. Obamd did all of that in a few weeks. It had nothing to do with the EX-Traitor In Chief squandering trillions of dollars (along with thousands of lives wasted) on a war of LIES or allowing his wealthy Wall Street robber baron contributors to rape the economy for trillions more by abandoning all oversight during his eight year reign of terror. :roll:

The markets are ALL driven on feelings, and investors are scared shitless of Obama (and a Democrat controlled congress). Deny it all you like, they are packing their money away now rather than getting it tied up in stocks to avoid the onslaught of future taxes. Simple.

so far, you take the cake as the most clueless poster in this thread. the markets were crushed under GWBs watch, are you not going to make an argument how his policies were investor friendly?

Obama did not plunge the DOW, but the rest of your point is well-taken. All he's so far done is put a black guy in office and has given good, fairly convincing speeches. Until he has really repaired a lot of what the country went through under the previous president, accolades must be withheld.

Why don't you post the records for us since you volunteered. Then we can see all the Democrats who rushed us off to war with the Republicans!

Yes, yes, the evil war your EXTRAITOR-In Chief and his criminal cabal PIMPED with LIES to Congress and the American people. The war of LIES they used as an excuse to commit torture and other war crimes and crimes against humanity; the war of LIES they used to justify shredding the rights guaranteed to every American citizen under our once honored, once meaningful Constitution.

FUCK George W. Bush and his entire criminal gang. I hope they enjoy retirement at the beautiful downtown Guantanamo Hilton with free daily passes on the exciting waterboard ride. It's not torture. They said so, themselves, and we can believe them... right? :roll:

I'm an investor and I'm not scared shitless of Obama. About the only thing that frightens me is the growing number of people in this country who have lost the ability to think for themselves and are becoming drooling idiots.

Logical error...there's your problem!

I really wish this "messiah" crap would stop.
