Oh for the love of God. People we have a massive selloff the day after an election. the Dow lost 5% and no one gives a crap. We can use this and hammer the dems on this. Show how they are bad for people’s 401k’s we could use this. the MSM understands this. They are in full cover your as* mode. And we the party of the big business, the economic smart party can not bring ourselves to care. Are you all just planning on throwing in the towel. Two years of hammering them on DOw falls, home vaules falling, taxes going up, electric prices, food prices, do nothing congress, pork, budget debt etc and the Americian people will once again hunger for change and hope.

We need to use these moments for instruction. DOw falls 5% on Obama win. Get it. Use it. Educcate the idiots that voted for socialism and never understood what soicalism is.

I predicted this morning it would tank today; I don’t expect it to get any better with The One in office for four years.

The trouble with educating idiots is, well, they’re idiots. People like the moronic Obamabot I had to listen to in the coffee shop today lecturing his friend/regurgitating the latest transcript from “Hardball” about how wonderful it’s going to be when all those evil rich people earning $250K+ see their taxes go up and how poor hourly wage saps like he will benefit (I resisted the urge to point out to him that The One and his jester of a sidekick have already lowered that income ceiling twice, that it now stands at $150K, and will likely come down much further after these brilliant minds do the math and figure out how much it’s really going to cost to operate their welfare state). What people like he don’t understand is that the people who own his little coffee shop (which is a mini-chain of about 4 stores in the area) are probably among those evil people earning more than $150K and when they get bit hard by Obama and the tax man, they’re going to pass that right on down to him — either in the form of stagnant wages, or fewer hours, or worst case scenario, closing one or more stores.

So that said, I think it may be pointless to try to explain to any of these idiots what the effect of the O’s presidency on the stock market will be and why it should matter to them. They can’t see past their own immediate self interests. The response would be, “Well, I don’t have any money in the stock market; why should it matter to me?” They have no capacity to understand the principle of cause and effect, of trickle down economics. These are people who think anyone who invests their money is necessarily one of the evil rich. Last I checked I wasn’t rich, but I am sure the O will make it down to my income level eventually.
