Obama inauguration plunge?

Totally different situation than what Obama is receiving in a country with a free media.

Agree, however, it seems to me that the reporting from a heavily biased free media may often be indistinguishable from that of a state controlled media.

Good point. It's so ironic.

What's troubling is that we're simply not getting a fair assessment of Obama because of the media's constant fawning. Another troubling thing is that there are large segments of the media which are actually afraid to criticize Obama out of fear of being called a racist and then being ostracized.

Today was just the redneck racists on wall street sending Obama a message to dole out mo money, mo money for those fat piggies.

"Hey Pres. Obama, Dole out some mo of that bail out money so we can fatten up our bellies some mo..."

Neoconism which began in 1982 has been proven to be good for the stock market and economy. Obama's speech was the antithesis of that.

Neocon = borrow money to pay for wars and finance it through tax cuts for those who benefit from the wars.

Whatâs so great about the stock market going up? The way I see it there are only 3 ways stocks can go up as a whole. Pay their employees less, raise their prices to the consumer, or increase through inflation. All of these are bad for the average person. The wealth gap has widened significantly in the last 30 years, mostly due to inflation.

Go back to election night, that was the last major high. It's been down ever since the market understood who was coming in. Any bets that the 3 November high will not be seen in the next 4 years?

How about we talk about the issues I raised rather than who I voted for? But just for fun Iâll give you 3 guesses as to who I voted for. Iâll start you with a hint, it wasnât Obama.

The socialist green party? Ron Paul? Why do you want to see the US economy fail?
