stock markets up....so the media must be cheering President Obama? right?
Edited on Fri Mar-13-09 09:32 AM by spanone
they seemed rather willing to heap all the blame on him in the last few weeks as the market was tanking.

oddly enough, i can't find one article linking the stock market rise to President Obama's policies




:shrug:

1. and you won't.. right now.. as there are no policies
he has in place.. we are still waiting on Geitners plan.. there are several reasons why the market is doing what its doing right now.. some of which appear that the news is not all bad..

4. Maybe... Maybe not.. Look at it like this..
You are on a sinking ship waiting for the Captain.. Geitner.. to give you the evacuation plans. He doesn't have one and says he will get back to you. Sooner or later.. people are going to start jumping ship on their own. I know its not pretty.. I am not blaming or pointing fingers at the President either. He had a PILE of crap to deal with as soon as he walked in, but he said he could handle it.. he had a plan.. He will get an update shortly to see how the plan is working..

3. They have been blaming him for the market tanking
the last month. As a matter of fact Rush Limbaugh even blamed him for the economy before the election.

8. This b attch on CNBC just said the TARP plan and the Fed
policies put in place back in the 4th quarter have contributed to the stock turn around. So bush did it, damn a gift that just gives and gives..

7. He has no policies in place?
Is that a joke? Geithner's bank rescue plan isn't the only thing Obamas admin has done on the economy.

11. Hold on, they are rallying all the Anti-Government people to the airwaves.
For another unhealthy dose of fear and panic to make it tank again.
