Now use that link to check the previous 6 months results then tell me the market hasn't shot down since Obama was elected.

Anna,

Forget completely turning the economy around. Most would just settle for a slower decline. As it stands Obama's fiscal policies have terrified investors and caused the market to fall at a nearly unprecedented rate. Of course liberals are going to spend the remainder of the year blaming everything on W but that feeble excuse is only going to last so long. If things don't pick up by 2010 the Dems are going to be in serious trouble. And with the extreme partisan politics the Dems are engaging in it will be interesting to see how the GOP reacts when they're no longer the minority.

Ash,



And things are going to get much worse when they do. Right now we're just watching the markets reaction to his plan. God help us when they actually go into effect. It's amazing you don't realize that businesses look at what the govn is doing, planning on doing, and make decisions on how to run their business accordingly.

and the definition of "is" is...

Anna,

So now this crisis is Reagans fault? LMAO. Boy you radical libs are really losing it. Reaganomics succeeded! Carter completely f*cked up the economy and only through Reagans business friendly policies was the economy able to come roaring back for W sr and slick willy to f*ck up.

And you're delusional if you think the GOP is more partisan than the Dems. If I recall even 11 Dems voted with the GOP against this horrendous bill. So in fact there has been a bi-partisan effort against this "stimulus bill".

Bush's policies turned that around as well. Impressively. Oddly, he never gets credit for that because once again, the only indicator the liberals look at is deficit. Let's ignore that right up until the last year and a half of his administration, the economy was booming. Oh no. Let's just look at the amount he borrowed while creating that boom, and then lets focus on a market crash at the end caused by factors that were utterly beyond his control.

I'd toss in the argument about how the economic collapse we're in was caused by liberal economic policies put in place before Bush took office and rabidly defended by Democrats (with some really nasty attacks), not just once, but twice during bush's terms when he and Republican members of congress attempted to fix the problems with the investment banking laws which would very likely have avoided this crisis. I happen to place the blame for what's going on squarely at the feet of the Democrats, so forgive me if I don't take your comment that seriously...

Anna,

Remind me again who controlled congress at that time?

Oh and the market has known Obama was going to be president a good 6 months. This only a couple of months in office nonsense is nothing more than liberal apologists attempting to divert blame from Obamas policies. The market is reacting to Obamas policies.

What about the fact that the recession remained serious for the first year and half of Reagan's term?

Do you even know the definition of the word recession?
