You have a terrible memory. The stock market crashed the week of October 6th 2008.

The Black Week: Beginning October 6th and lasting all week the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed lower 5 out of 5 sessions. Volume levels were also record breaking. The Dow Jones industrial average fell over 1,874 points, or 18%, in its worst weekly decline ever on both a point and percentage basis. The S&P 500 fell more than 20%

while I think Obama is a competence fascist (pick your color, black, red, or green) and intentionally driving the economy into the ground, it would by nice to test the theory. Hack the teleprompter. May I suggest?.

Most political analysts do well to remember this axiom: avoid assigning to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

Not to be mean, Ed, but weren’t you telling us a few weeks back that Obama was so intelligent and didn’t you imply that this would be such an asset to having him as president?

I assert that you were half right: he is intelligent and knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s trying to destroy this country.

So, how do you think they are going to spin that poll? I know it says that results may not equal 100 due to rounding, but I don’t think they can round 59% too far down without looking more ridiculous than they do.

I also have a screencap… heh.

How soon we forget Bush and his cronies. Nice try but the American people blame this mess on Bush. So whine and cry about big bad Obama. Conservative ideology from the neo-cons to the unregulated free traders has been shattered. You can prop up a dead horse, but its still a dead horse.

How do we know, as in “what proof do we have?”, that he isn’t some sort of Manchurian Candidate?

(although I hope that’s a figure of speech because it sounds like the Chinese really really don’t want him to do what he’s doing either)

Welcome to the world of revisionist history. The same folks are still trying to make Reagan a great president instead of the senile bufoon that he was.

Reagan hasn’t been president since 1989, but you still can’t let go of the name calling. Pathetic.

Why is all the hate always coming from the left?

George Bush is at the top of the list since it all started under his watch: White House, Office of the Press Secretary October 15, 2002

Your link is far too late, since it actually started in the Carter administration. You also somehow manage to ignore the 17 times that President Bush warned that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac badly needed reform, and that the Republicans in Congress tried to address the problem, but couldn’t get even token concessions from the Democrats, who basically claimed that Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac were working great, called the Republicans a bunch of racists who hate poor people for even bringing up the subject.

Now I realize that you only care about actual facts when they help you bash Bush, but the rest of us are a little more discerning.

Go back to troll school.

Doctor Zero : I think you did address the first part of my argument in an older thread, but I think the sheer magnitude of the disparity between the perceived error (theory) and final bailout needed (practice) makes the CDS de-regulation a serious point to consider. As always, your feedback is very much appreciated.

Also to note – The stock slide (and my retail sales) began their steep decline in mid-May – just about the time Obama locked up the Dem nomination. Down from its high of 13,000 in may, to where it is now, mid-6,000s.

I have it plotted in my retail sales graph – the week the Dem primaries ended with Obama the apparent winner, (around May 18) consumers lost all confidence and stopped spending money. This IS the OBAMA RECESSION, intended or not.
