This is what obama wants. Dow 7500 is a psychological barrier. His constant references to crisis and depression are clearly assaults on economic psychology. So. Here we go.
He hasn’t taken into account the resiliency of the American people. He’s about to awaken a Sleeping Giant, something his little world of academia knows nothing about. He’s going to be blindsided by dissent, and I predict massive job marches on DC this summer as the unemployment rate nears 10%.
Something drastic is going to have to happen to keep this destructive idiot from destroying our country. What that is I don’t know.

Churchill would have agreed with you:
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.”
obama didn’t waste anytime sending Churchill’s bust back ‘across the pond’. Apparently he despises the mere sight of it.

Do you think he wants to make it worse to completely destroy capitalism?
The man is a COMMUNIST, people! When are we going to face it? He is doing what communists do. He was the CPUSA candidate and no one cared.

I’m waiting for the Angela Davis appointment to some Race Relations Study panel setup by AG Holder.
How better to inflame a nation than to cry race relation avoidance like no one talks about it.. it helps take the media spotlight away from the abysmally transparent looting of the Treasury by the RATs..
If it breaks the old support I suspect there will be a BIG drop - no piddling daily declines. The pressure will be on tomorrow - Fridays the traders close out the books so they’re not exposed over the weekends when funny things happen. If the PPT boys throw in the towel it will be exciting (ahem).
