Isn't that the truth!
I reckon it's another political campaign speech, about how he wants to "help" people and how the evil republicans are holding him back......

And for the record........we're up 72 now, so I'm gave him 70 points.....I fully expect a 200 point swing.........
So his blowhardedness will cause a 200 point swing..........
Of course job numbers came out, and that "might" be the reason :) :)
But I'd much rather blame Obama.....

Is he so stupid that he doesn't even realize that he is his own worst enemy. I gotta tell ya guys this is the most delusional human being on planet earth today...
Everything he touches or comes in contact with turns to stone. I am litterally counting down the days now until this human TRAIN WRECK goes away. If I voted for this guy I would have a hard time looking at myself in the mirror and I'm serious!

Wall street is up! Why? Bank of England just did another bank bail out, Germany is bleeding money into the euro. so our wall street numbers go up.More than a third of the late slide was concern about the euro. Wonder if that term "global economy" has anything to do with these fluctuations?

ABSOLUTELY...........
But what is more important and is going to make the world implode is CHINA and their artificially inflated "dollar".
BUT, BUT......don't you think the unknowns in the future, specifically, the unknowns of
* health care costs under Obama
* tax requirements under corporations
* employment costs for employees
are driving a lot of our economic woes.
Do you SUPPOSE.....right or wrong the FIXED components of the bush tax cuts 10 years ago allowed for 10 years of growth because the US knew what it would cost to employ someone??
I really believe that the unknowns of the FUTURE cost of an employee.....3, 4, 5, 10 years from now is keeping EVERYONE from growing businesses. Not just big companies, but small companies too.....
RESOLVE the bs issues with the tax cuts, the bs issues with health care, the bs issues with obama care, the bs issues with ss taxes, the artificial stimulas issues, the temp relief of 2% payroll taxes, etc, etc........RESOLVE those AND make a decision on those and growth will start.....

China has other problems too....building to much and building it to fast in a hap-hazard manner. The end result is some of their own are paying the price.

The link above is yet another comparison to China as far as money is concerned. If this article is true then we are at a turning point in time where manufacturing goods in the U.S. in now less expensive than having China do it for us. Also, if this is true then come five to ten years from now I'm not going to have anything to complain about, lol...
In all seriousness I never could understand how something could be made on foriegn land, packaged and handled and delivered for shipping. Then put on a ship that required no telling how many gallons of fuel to arrive here in the U.S., THEN, someone had to unload the goods, deliver the goods to the respective retailers, unpackage it and put it on the shelf. How has this been less expensive than hiring Bob White Quail down the street who drives 10 miles to work one way? I sure don't know but I guess it was or the company man wouldn't have sold out to the foriegners to do the work.
Re: Obama is speaking again........how many points will the DJ be off today??
CHINA is done............their shipping costs are now 3x what they were 10 years ago. Their labor costs are 300x what they were......Their infrastructure............300x........their energy........300x.......
GET the idea. Same as what I was saying about India and labor ...........Indian Labor is catching up with us and those Indians want the good life. **** SHAME that inflation is screwing their Indian Dream......
Soon........
I just hope the Obamunists have not dismantled our military by then, because when China starts to falter they just might try to flex there muscles............then the ROOSTERS MIGHT come home to roost.

I LOVE this quote from the article......
"Forty deaths don't mean our trains are no good," said salesman Jin Zhao'an, who travels extensively on the high-speed network. "Developed countries have many years of experience operating these trains, so they can avoid risks. If this accident hadn't happened, we wouldn't have known the risks, right? It's just a small, small episode in our country's development."
HOLY CRAP.....could you imagine Obama or Bush saying that........
