I would never blame Obama for the disaster bush set up....but that's just me. No matter what happens going forward....I won't blame Obama. He inherited financial and fiscal policy armageddon. On the bright side....if O fails badly because of supporting wall street....we get an independent in 2012 and take our country back IMO. ;-)

I don't think the markets are a reliable indicator of good policy. They were giddy and happy with the bubbles so their vote is more about having a nasty hangover. What are the alternatives? No one except the shorts who appear to be going long soon or, at least, laying off for awhile, is happy during a nasty recession. The way to clean things up is pretty darn ugly which will, in the short term, make people even unhappier. I don't think there is anywhere near enough political will to let banks fail (along with AIG) if the uproar over the stock market erasing the 'gains' of two bubbles is creating this much of a backlash. If the people supported a true fix and the fallout that comes with it then we would probably see it happen.
