Ali Velshi: you live by the sword you die by the swrod

I love Ali Velshi. The "sword" in this case, is the stock market. Meaning, of course, that if you have been bragging that the rise in the stock market in the past year, or so, was because of "I, alone," then you should take responsibility for its declining.

Yea, right.

There was a guest from the NYT who said that, yes, in Davos, all leaders agreed that the economies were doing well but, they were not sure about the political stability in this country. He also added that both Obama and Junior knew how to handle the economic crash but that this administration has no tools on how to handle any downturn.

And, yes, it was agreed that one reason for the tanking is that there is a new Fed Chair and no one know, yet, what his policy. I suppose keeping Janet Yellen for a second term was too much for this incompetent.

Oh, and that during the campaign he complained about Yellen, that keeping interest rates low was hurting his base, could not get decent interest on their savings. (What savings?)

GOP economic policies enabled and abetted and caused the crash.

But if there is a crash, it will be Obama's fault.
