Rove Blames Market Volatility On Obama: It Reflects ‘People’s Concerns’ About An Obama Presidency»
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/23/rove-market-obama/


OVE: But we have to be a little bit careful here, because markets try and predict the future. And what they may be doing here, this volatility may be people’s concerns about what would happen if Barack Obama, who has a lead in the polls and has been deemed by the media to be the likely next president of the United States, what would happen to their economy and their portfolios if he were to become president? <…>

Well, Americans understand instinctively, at least investors understand instinctively, that if you lower the corporate tax rate it makes American companies more competitive around the world, and it means that we’ll have more jobs, more growth, more prosperity in here in America. If you raise that tax, or leave it where it is — the second highest in the world — it means American companies are becoming less competitive.

4. Rove's fault. If he would have gone to jail as he should have, none of this would be happening.

5. Karl Rove is right.
Karl Rove is right*

*because Karl defines "people" only as Wall Street fat cats, who are no doubt uncertain about what an Obama Presidency may mean for their ability to continue raping the country and driving our economy into the ground so that they can plunder and extract their massive billions of profit and die before they have to face the consequences.
