But it is a great time to buy some superior stocks at rock bottom prices. What the heck, when it gets to the 9000 mark, I'm all in like I was after 911.

Look at the bright side. This is your chance to jump into the markets at bargin basement prices.

Blackwater is selling their gold reserves and buying beaten down stocks.

Keep your heads.

Set the Hook and watch the buggy whip act like a wet noodle in the struggle between Man and Beast!!!!!! Lay the net under that beautiful 21" 5lb 4oz Smallmouth, hold her up and smile real big for the photo opportunity, layeth the smackdown on her bodacious lips and then let the big girl swim out of your hands back to the depth of Dale Hollow!!!! What budget, what recession, what stock market, who is Obama and so on.......

[Devils Horse]

Friggin Obama. I've never seen a person who can say more about NOTHING than this clown. Dude should have been on Seinfeld, because he'd be perfect with a starring role in a show about nothing.

Today, in his "Chill Out, I Got This" speech....with the world watching....begging for some sense of leadership, sense of a plan, sense of something....he says absolutely nothing of substance. It was essentially 15 minutes of "Warren Buffet says we're good for it. Now guys, we really need to work together better, okay?" Then, he shifted to talking about the military and our losses in Afghanistan this weekend.

I heard more substance in Goofy Gatewood Galbraith's speech at Fancy Farm this weekend from under the brim of his straw hat....seriously....

Obama is a joke.

Great post. The market lost like 300 more points AFTER Mr. Obama's riveting speech.

I liked it to. I watched the Fancy Farm speeches on KET also Brian. I personally thought GG made the most sense. Beshear talked about the Troops and them only and I agree but he should have at least tried to talk about something else...

Williams is a jerk, I would love to see somebody black his eye. All he did was get up there and say Steve ***** with idiotic one liners. Richie Farmer is a JOKE! Nice jumpshot, a politician, lmfaooooooooooooo.

Galbreath for Governer, smoke'em if you got'em honey, Rest in peace Marge......

Obama is the anti-christ...

[Chubminnow]

the biggest chunk of obama spending came at the beginning of his presidency when he was facing depression or complete economic collapse--he had two choices do nothing or tarp--if he does nothing and the country slips into depression than you guys would have said he sat buy and let the country slip into depression--so he spends the money to prevent potential economic collapse which would have been alot worse than things are now and you guys dog him for spending too much

I sure hope you come to your senses before the next voting session...I don't know of anyone who liked all of the spending Nobama did during his first year or two. We ALL KNEW he was spending money we didn't have....we ALL KNEW at some point in time we would have to pay the piper...well....heck...why delay paying the piper? A little honesty on Nobama's part and ALL politicians part would have gone a long way instead of Nobama being a complete idiot and fool for thinking spending money we ain't got is the answer. Heck...most elementary school children who are raised by decent parents know they can't spend what they don't have.

It's been wrote here before, but I'm gonna write it again, because it's sooooo true....Jimmy Carter is loving Nobama right now.

Yep, I watched the whole thing from Fancy Farm on KET. I agree with you completely. Beshear did nothing but hide behind his trip to see the troops...yipee...good for him. That's like pounding your chest because you did your job. He literally spoke about nothing else and was cowardly.

Williams is wannabe bully.

Gatewood may have toked one up before the camera went live, but at least he had some kind of idea/plan....who knows whether it would work or not, but the only thing worse than a bad plan is no plan.

[waterdog101]

Hope and CHANGE we can count on.

I really cannot wait to throw the morons running our country out of office.

AND the arrogance of Tim Geitner over the weekend......."Standard and Poors have no idea how economics in America work"......you're FREAKIN kidding right.......RIGHT..........

That is from a moron who couldn't figure out how to use Turbo Tax ........

And then Obama......."we will always be AAA rated, regardless of the downgrade"......Really......REALLY........the WORLD doesn't seem to think so.

Maybe it is time to give up your arrogant stance and START LEADING. This is completely and squarely an Obama issue. He had the power to make this go away. THEY owned the house and senate and presidency when this started. THEY HAD 800 days to pass a budget..........

Will someone stick a fork in him......because he's done.

Later,

I think he may be done on one side, but the american people over all. will stick a fork in him, but only to turn him, so he can get done on the other side. and it will take another 4 years for him to get done. if this will work look at how, the nation feels about both partys, and down the page a bit, there something on Mr. Reed and Miss Nancy http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...e-in-congress/

While I agree that Congress is getting what they deserve those are just poll numbers and they change like the wind. I'm happy to see that folks are disgusted with these crooks and maybe they will do as I plan on doing and that's vote against anyone incumbent. They do not deserve another day in office.

[kygorski]

You guys are forgetting one little fact. S&P is PAID by the banking and stock markets.The reason they never down graded those mortgage packages [when they truly needed it], was because YOU DONT BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU.A lot of this rapid fluctuation is computer driven.Insurance companys have programs that trade 1000s of stocks per minute,they do this because of the money invested in pension annuitys, 401 K programs, supposedly it means more bang for your buck, in reality its more service charge to bill the customers.

Does that also include you guys Tea Party heroes who's only mission seemingly is to fix the government?.... Personally I think their mission is the same as the rest of the lot, A career in in the easy chair of politics.

I'm NOT going to say anyone that is an incumbent......I want conservatives in office....PERIOD.....They generally vote and think the way I do. Not all of them do, but I'm for instance not going to throw an incumbent republican out of office whose been there 20 years who generally thinks the way I do, just to replace him with a democrat.

There are very few fiscally conservative democrats, and the ones I've voted for in the past were OK locally but once they moved passed local onto state or federal levels, they became entrenched in party politics.

And if I'm gonna vote for someone entrenched in party politics, then they sure as heck are going to be entrenched in CONSERVATIVE/Tea Party/Republican party politics.......PERIOD.

Later,
