Dow Up 236, Republicans Blame Obama

Filed in National by on February 24, 2009

Seeing as how Republicans believe the market acts rationally and is the only barometer to measure policies, obviously they’re going to to pin a 236 point rally on Obama. Wall Street always behaves rationally, after all.

Ha ha ha, I crack me up. I look forward to comments below from the wingnuts telling me how a one day rally means nothing – arguments that will be long forgotten when the Dow inevitably plunges tomorrow or a few days from now.

PS: Remember all the Republicans who talked about bailing out Main Street, not Wall Street? HA HA HA HA HA, the hypocrisy is priceless!

    just check the cooresponding numbers. and i voted for him once, it will depend if i vote for him again. suddenly i am reminded of mick “hope in one hand and crap in another and see which one fills up first”

    You are soooooo voting for Obama again.

    (As if Sarah Palin offers a brainiac like you anything. Please!)

    Silly XStryker. Don’t you know it’s only Obama’s fault if the market goes down? If it goes up it because of some other news or something (perhaps a Santelli sighting),

  8. X Stryker says:

    Let’s entrust Wall Street’s judgment as to whether Obama’s policies will work. They have a great track record. Fluctuations of the Dow are now the only economic measure of progress that counts.

    The markets went up yesterday because nothing happened. For 24 hours, the administration simply STFU, and the Earth continued to rotate on its axis. No news is good news, if you’re an economist.

    I am so over taking anything the market does seriously. At this point in time, you’d be foolish to use them as any sort of indicator.
