Hehehe, do you see the KKK and others taking to the streets when Obama wins? :p

I agree, no one should be in the market leveraged and on the wrong side of these big-boys-moves... For the long term, sure, the USD will weaken as realities are what they are - even shoring up on economic stability.

Yes, but only € 69bn... They will probably need more, but maybe they can manage to turn some stones during the next months.
