Where was SPX when it became apparent Obama would become President? What did SPX do the day after the election? The day after the inauguration? The day of his stimulus bill? The day after his budget?

As I blogged the other day:
"The bit is funny but Stewart is a tool of the left. What's been the bigger catalyst for meltdown the past year-the rise of Obama or CNBC? While CNBC may be inept in reporting let alone anticipating events, it's Leftest media douchebags like Stewart who are the CAUSE of the implosion. This would be like a German comedian endorsing Hitler but then blaming the press for inadequately warning the Jews...
P.S. I could add Cramer to the douchebag list too but certainly not Santelli who was Stewart's primary target.
Gee come to think of it Stewart and Cramer have a few things in common, eh?

"The Democrats forced Fannie and Freddie" this line irks me more than anything else the right wingers said. If this is truly Jimmy Carter or Bill Clintons fault these laws should have caused the mortgage implosion in the 80's or the 90's. This is so intellectually dishonest. The explosion was because these giveaway mortgages were turned into derivatives that could be packaged to others so Wall Street could escape the obligation when they would inevitably go bad. No one made mortgage companies give them to "minorities" as the right likes to claim.

If I remember it correctly, the market went down after Bush took office too.
Let's say if the market goes up from here that'll be because of......St. Ronnie????

No it'll be because Bernanke is successful pulling the same asset inflation rabbit as Greenspan- who was a Reagan appointee.
And as 8000 readers know-I got long for the first time this year on Friday. I expect the low of the year to be in. Do I expect that low to perma hold? Nope. I expect an unemployment rate in the low teens by Q4 2010....
