Thanks to Obama and Congress more corporations are moving their headquarters overseas. When you have a tax policy that begs corporations to move workers and profits overseas, this is what you should expect.

Financials in red on Bank of America, double dip worries 07/16 09:51 AM NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Financial stocks deepened losses Friday afternoon on investor concerns about a double-dip recession, overriding better-than-expected earnings results and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s (GS:$148.2400,$3.0200,2.08%) settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Bank of America Corp. (BAC:$14.1383,$-1.2517,-8.13%) led the slide, down about 8% after reporting second-quarter earnings of 27 cents a share, or $3.1 billion. The bank cited low credit costs and the sale of noncore assets, offset by decreased trading and mortgage-banking income for the profit. "People are fixated on top-line growth and the macro situation right now," said Alan Villalon, an analyst at First American Funds, pointing to the loan contraction of 2.1% from the first quarter. "It shows customers are still concerned about taking on leverage, and investors are worrying that if there's no loan growth, there's no expansion and no recovery."

Obama Has Shot 41 Rounds of Golf as President by Keith Koffler on July 16, 2010, 3:30 pm President Barack Obama has played a remarkable 41 rounds of golf since becoming president, easily outpacing his predecessor and possibly damaging his ability to portray himself in 2012 as a populist advocate of average folks. With the excursions lasting on average at least five hours, the president has devoted a total of more than 200 hours to golf, not counting time spent on the White House putting green. That’s the equivalent of twenty five eight-hour work days, or five work weeks spent smacking golf balls. whitehousedossier.com
