1. What?

On edit. This economy has NOT improved. Stop looking to the DOW for information.

2. The same media that has blamed the downturn in the Stock Market on Obama
Is now silent as stocks rise for the third day in a row.

3. I think you're missing the point.
First, no where in the OP did they say anything about the economy improving.

Second, the media was blaming the tanking DOW on Obama just last week. This week they are not saying a word about Obama helping it go up.

It doesn't matter if he did or not.

5. I wonder what R. Santelli is saying now. (this is the guy who was screaming on CNBC
at the President about the housing plan that he didn't even read.) He also once said hat what's good for the derivatives trader was good for 'main street'. : "http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Briefing-by-White-House-Press-Secretary-Robert-Gibbs-2-20-2009/


HE also was invited to come on the Jon Stewart Show but doesn't have the balls to face Stewart LOL. Jim Cramer, to his credit is going on Stewart's show tonight to get scewered.

6. So if they should be giving him credit for the upturn now,
Edited on Thu Mar-12-09 03:23 PM by Pale Blue Dot
do you believe that they should then blame him when the market starts falling again, as it will? You really can't have it both ways.

Just as they should not have been blaming him for the downturn, they should not be crediting him now. ALL of the news has continued to be bad, with the exception of one phoney-baloney, unverifiable memo - from a disgraced, dishonest company - that the markets have bought hook, line and sinker. The markets, unfortunetly, are going to go MUCH lower, possibly as soon as next week.

7. Perhaps some of us just aren't as easily fooled By Well-Crafted Propaganda
Edited on Sun Mar-15-09 10:12 PM by TheWatcher
"Hopes" "Assurances", and conveniently "leaked" memos from a corrupt, lying CEO of an all but failed Bank.

This is not a "recovery" or even the beginning of one.

This has not one thing to do with Obama.

But it appears that people continue to love to be conned by Wall Street, and the same Criminal Mouthpieces that have lied to, and deceived the public throughout the Bubble Economies, and helped get us into this Crisis to begin with.
