>>>William, I certainly have no partisan stake in this debate but I understand market mechanics. You really cannot put any blame on Obama for the current state of the markets. The markets had already fallen between 40% and 45% from their peaks before he even stepped foot into the White House. The state of the market and their continued fall has much more to do with underlying causes started years ago than what he says or does today. You cannot fix this problem so fast and it will take time for any adminsirtation (rep or dem) to turn this around.

>>I have no doubt it will take time.

>>>And those who lost money in the markets and now look for a scape goat along partisan lines - too bad. You pays your money and you takes your chances. The markets are risk based investments, not guarantees.

>>I absolutely agree with that. Same with housing market and any other consumer/investor/gambler market that Obama and the gang are going to bail out while throwing trillions of $$ into pet democratic projects and digging a financial hole the like of which the world has never seen.

>>He has put us deeper in debt than anyone has done to any nation in history. He's only been in office 2 months.

>I'm no expert in economic and financial affairs so I really don't know if his proposed plans will have the desired effects or not. But the problems the world has were not created in the last 40 days per se. I think that to be fair there is enough blame to go round ...

There were serious problems when he took office.

analogy - a person goes to the hospital with a broken leg - they pour gasoline on him and light him on fire - wait.. be patient.. see if it fixes the problem..
