OBOZO is a Crazy Moron! and Wall Street finally is ready to acknowledge that! Money is more important to Wall Street at the end of the day than Liberalism and OBOZO’S COMMUNISM!!

The Northeast as usual is screwing the rest of the country.

Dodd, Frank, Brown, Collins, Snowe...all New Englanders angry at the progress the rest of the country is making and trying to hang onto the legacy of the past, even though the Founding Fathers would have had nothing to do with them.

Depends upon when they actually read the bill. My guess is that yes, the market will tank again (normal Democratic bill response). I just hope that it doesn’t become a free for all.

We really do need a breather so that Europe can figure out their own fixes...

If they didn’t ban naked shorting they didn’t pass anything useful.

If Republicans don’t take over Congress this November, we are cooked.

Oh we're already cooked it's just a matter or medium or well done at this point.

Screw that whole F-ing party! The hand full of conservatives left in that defunct leftist wanna-be party is not worth the effort.

Wall Street has nobody to blame for themselves.

Calling their actions reckless over the past few years would be generous.

With freedom, comes responsibility, and they showed NONE of it!

Damn.
If something bad happens, then something worse will happen.
A hell of a conundrum.

Grassley? And has Brown ever voted against the Dims? That was a real winner there.

CRAP. I put in my order to move 50% of my 401K assets to a Capital Preservation fund *after* market close today. That means it won’t be executed until tomorrow when the market is getting beaten.

Sucks.

God - the democrats are intent on putting me in the poorhouse.
