Guess that means the Democrats will have to go from saying “Bush is wrecking the investments of little old ladies by causing the stock market to fall” to “Bush is ushering in an era of greed.”

The RNC has been completely PR brain deep and inept when it comes to touting the success of the U.S. economy over the past 5 years -

A simple TV & radio ad campaign touting the numerous successes over the past 5 years (with GOP policies at the base) would do a tremendous amount for both continued consumer confidence....but more importantly for taking on the DEMs/MSM with regard to this issue.

It would boost the GOP "economy" numbers and make the DEMs fight from the premise that they don't want to continue GDP growth, economic expansion, lower federal taxes, low interest rates, low unemployment, etc, etc.

I should be more clear....the options were based on that target NOT being attacked and the end result shaking up the world financial markets.

It’s sure possible. There was another story, you may recall, linked below, about Iranian and Syrian technicians being killed in a chemical weapon accident in Syria July 23. The “mystery trader” may have been counting on an attack by Syria in September that could have resulted in a massive response, even nuclear, by Israel.

It isn’t the jobs report that is causing the market to rocket. It is the massive amount of corporate paper that has nowhere else to go but the market. When it dries up, the market falls.

ROTFLMAO!
