Re: market drop when Dubya spoke -- It never fails to take the wind out of everyone's sails to listen to unending lies. I listened for a few minutes, every sentence a marvel of dissembling, followed by sycophantic applause.
Hopefully a gap down tomorrow leads to a bounce. This may be the start of a big decline, as attention swings to the dummy-who-thinks-he's-president, and scares the crap out of everyone, again, as they realize no one's in charge who gives a crap about this country or its future, but only profiteering on the most massive scale possible.
Lack of confidence directly affects the economy and markets, which is why Clinton, whatever his other characteristics, gave confidence every time he spoke, that the pres, right or wrong, at least knew what he was talking about, and had smart people out in front in open debate.
I think the country also liked the fact that Congress was in opposition, the better to stimulate debate rather than the pure form of kleptocracy we're choking on at the moment.
Today's action is so predictable, I can see Poindexter and fellow ghouls sitting with Rove scheduling the Pres, with massive shorts ready to go. They couldn't sneak the Terrorist Exchange into DOD, but I cannot imagine they've given up their grandiose dreams of easy money extorting the public. |
