For Bernanke’s next trick he is going to pull a rabbit out of his hat.

They will lose all of that and more tomorrow after we have our “Crisis Pep Talk” tonight.

WOOOHOOO!

I’m glad to see the market going up. I’d like to see it continue.

Obama should cancel his speech tonight.

Great, we're back to where we were a couple of days ago. At least he didn't say something that tanked the market, as has been his custom lately.

Yeah, everything’s just fine now that this guy pulled it out of his arse that the recession ‘might’ end next year.

I guess that US businesses will be so thrilled with caps on CO2 that they’ll be spurred to risk their money on investments. Or maybe the card-check that unionizes the whole damn country in one shot is what they’re hoping for.

Ohhh! I know! It’s the evil Bush tax cuts expiring that are making the outlook look just so rosy...

Bernanke is a joke and the idiots on Wall Street with their sucker’s rally aren’t much better.

So, let’s all celebrate because the market goes up 200 points today only to go down 400 points tomorrow. W00 H00!

He should, although I have to miss it. There's something on the Food Network I have to watch. Something about what to do with moldy cheese.

So, I guess he'll try to do it informally at first, then when there's nothing left to lose, just state it outright.

LOL. I didn’t say I’d be watching it. In fact, I haven’t watched an Obama speech since he won the Rat nomination. He is too much of a snakeoil salesman. He makes even me, a conservative and patriot, want to believe. ACKKKKK! I can’t believe I admitted that. Fortunately, I don’t have a void in need of filling.

Anyway, that is what makes him so dang creepy...and dangerous! Tonight he will be back on his “YES WE CAN” tour.

They are worse than a joke. They are cowards. Instead of asking themselves to sacrifice by cutting any kind of spending they are making us pay for their foibles.

I absolutely despise this administration. They are true enemies of the Constitution and the United States.

OK, so during tonight’s speech by Mr. Obama, how many times do you think he will use the word “inherited?”

After all, none of this is HIS fault, after all, is it?

You catch possums at night and skin them the next day, that's how the stock market works.
