This is just classic, uber-right wing drivel in oh so many ways.
1) The title. It's not "Obama's Dow" just like it wasnt "Bush's" or "Clinton's". And let's hold off 'til this thing is within sniffing distance of 5000 before we pin a 30+% drop in it (since appx. 1/20/09) on anybody.
2) Not that you can blame jack shit about the current economic situation on a guy who has been in office just over 30 days. Yeah, I don't think anyone can argue that the stimulus packages are optimal, but they're better than nothing and they're most assuredly better than the age-old, time-tested, and continually debunked magical "tax cuts".
3) I just LUV the channeling of Reagan. Yeah, what we need is unabridged optimism, despite staring potential deflation, rising unemployment and a 5% year-on-year GDP drop. Yeah, optimism. That and that alone will do the trick. Jeez.
Well optimism is fine when it's coupled with practicality. I believe I'm getting both from the sitting president.
4) I'd like to see Santelli give that same pitch in a less "protected" environment. And just like Wall Street may be tired of populist rhetoric, the far and away bigger slice of Americans are sick of the Wall Street-types running the show. They've proven they can effectively run it smack into the ground, bleeding Main Street dry in the process.
5) "Get the Bipartisanship thing going". Pot. Kettle. Black.
The comments are just too scary to elaborate on. My God there are some fucking idiots in my country.
