Still a strong chance the economy and US dollar will tank ahead of the elections, but I'm sure Obama, Fed & Co will do what they can to keep that from happening... until after the election, and RINOS will assist.
this will only go down... heck it didn’t get up to 90%
obama election bubble ping...
Time to short that contract like crazy - when gas hits $5 that contract will be 40%
If it was May 3rd 2012, I would place more worry in it.
if I gambled I’d jump all over that bet
correction, surged from around 60% to around 70%

Wonderful he was hit, sure, but the motives were abundantly POLITICAL.
How interesting that juuuuust as ALL KINDS of people were finally waking up to the aweful possibility of a muzzie POTUS than OBL, lo & behold, gets the hard whack.
And what’s more ALL his generals were saying to simply JDAM the compound into pink mist, yet Obama magically emerges as the solitary jingoist, ya know..?
Gosh how mysterious....!
It’s like the Politician in him understood that he had to make the hit EXTRA EXTRA credible —extra, extra hard to doubt, you know?
It was as if he UNDERSTOOD he was grappling with some extra margin of doubt arrayed against him.
Gosh I wonder WHY, Hmmmmmm...?!
In 2 weeks it’ll be some other news story and like always, all will be forgotten.
George HW Bush was around 90+ in May 1991, and he actually lead something.
Hussein could have brought the whack via PUSH-BUTTON, yet instead he insisted on MUCH more invasive method:
chopper whump whump, flash-bangs, screaming and M4 bang bang.
WHY? Hussein didn’t just tolerate this hit, no —something MORE was at stake.
Hmm...!
KEEP YOUR FLYING MONKEYS DIGGING, MR. TRUMP....!
18 months before the 2004 election, GWB had an approval rating around 70%. He very nearly lost re-election.
Bush 41 was at 90% this time in 1991. Lost!
It is will just be a bubble. After it all has died down, the American people will once again realize that Obama’s policies suck.
That’s not much of a bump, surprisingly.
Sure, tell that to the voters tomorrow when they fill their tanks and gorcery shop. This is the first of the month when the voters are trying to pay their bills and their mortgages. No, give them a few days and OBL will be long forgotten.
I dont know what’s more pathetic, an actual trade from this type of garbage, or people here that actually follow it.
Ah ha!
Gotcha, Dear Leader.
If we needed (which we Freepers didn’t) any further proof that this was a “Politically Motivated,” then this article in POLITICO seals it.
EXCERPTS:
"The SEALs held rehearsals of the raid on April 7 and April 13, with officials monitoring the action from Washington.
Over the past seven weeks, Obama had chaired numerous National Security Council meetings on the topic, including ones on March 14, March 29, April 12, April 19 and April 28.
At an April 19 meeting in the Situation Room, the president approved the air assault as the course of action. He ordered the force to fly to the region to conduct it.
Last Thursday, just after his East Room announcement that Panetta would succeed Robert Gates as Defense Secretary, the president held another meeting in the Situation Room, and went through everyone’s final recommendations. Obama didn’t announce his decision at the meeting, but kept his counsel overnight.
In the White House Diplomatic Room at 8:20 a.m. on Friday, before flying down to view tornado destruction in Alabama, Obama informed Donilon that he was authorizing the operation. Also attending the meeting were Brennan, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley and Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough.
(AND HERE IS THE PIECE DE RESITANCE AS WE FROGS ARE FOND OF SAYING)
The raid was scheduled for Saturday, the day when Obama and most of the West Wing was due at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. But weather pushed it to Sunday.
Sooooo, the Community Agitator picked the day for the raid when he thought he could get the most mileage out of this triumphant coup and there is little doubt he would have made this grand announcement that night, had it gone off as planned.
What a phony, arrogant, narcissistic, Chicago Thug, POS!
