Just how dumb do they think we are?
Gas prices tumble so much you may now have a little extra in your pocket....

Dow soars higher than ever after dismal week, to promote a sense of hope!


Now although these things are good, don't get me wrong...


it is VERY TRANSPARENT!

I call BULLSHIT!

It's a rethuglican plan to get McCain and the other crooks elected!

They'll say...see? Things aren't so bad!!


Well, I call double bullshit!

We're dealing with a bunch of jerkaholics that need to be weaned off of money and power!

2. It doesn't work that way.......
Bond markets were closed today, so this upswing is volatile, and the stock market after infusions of Billions, of course would show some improvement!

We are still out of 700 billion dollars.

I just don't think that McCain is proposing anything that will make this country hopeful.

3. The market is up today because of EU actions and the bond market being closed
for the holiday. Expect a downturn later in the week if not tomorrow. This is not your transparent theory regarding market movement. This is knee-jerk response in reaction to the huge sell-off last week. This is just as crazy as the sell-off was, and it will correct itself.

It's really not always a puke/rove plan.

5. People predicted months ago that gas prices would go down before the election.
