"Obama's rating at all-time high" Wonder what would it (economy) be when rating is 'normal'.

The lower wall street goes....the higher Obama's rating. ;-)

Very interesting story. And it goes to show that Obama's confidence is of supreme importance here at this time in history. Cool. I know there are all sorts of snarky comments made here about "hope and change", but dammit, who doesn't want hope and change right now? We certainly need it.

Who did away with the short uptick rule at the market top in 2007? It wasn't Obama. Who slid through bankruptcy reform in 2005? It wasn't Obama. Who lowered taxes for the rich so Buffet's secretary was in a higher tax bracket than he? It wasn't Obama. Who allowed 30-50X margin and the developement of option arms? It wasn't Obama. Who voted for going into Iraq? It wasn't Obama. hint....it wasn't Obama. These clowns trying to blame O for things when he's only been in office for 6 weeks only further discredits them. They will self destruct, IMO, if they already haven't. O inherited a disaster. It's a hell of a mess to clean up.
