*OT* "Sort of like Obama himself -- he was the most articulate candidate and that's why he won the election -- that doesn't mean it was the best thing for the country (which by now, it is starting to become clear his election was an absolute disaster for the country)."

Yeah, all the Repubs are blaming Obama for the stock market crash. Here's a tidbit you might enjoy...

The NASDAQ was 3500 when BUSH was elected in Nov. 2000. By April 4 it was 1619, almost a 55% drop. If you want to do your 6-months out thing the NASDAQ was almost 4000 in May 2001.

By Sept. 24, 2001 it hit 1387, a 60% drop from election day.

Do I think BUSH had anything to do with this? No.

Do I think Obama has anything to do with the current drop? No.

The business cycle doesn't care who is in the office of the President. McCain, Ron Paul, or Paris Hilton wouldn't have made a difference in the stock market if they had been elected.
