NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks briefly trimmed losses on Wednesday as President Barack Obama pushed for his proposal to have the wealthy pay more in taxes as a way to tame the federal deficit.
Taking a hard line in his opening bid before he begins fiscal talks with U.S. lawmakers later in the week, the president also said he was encouraged that some Republicans have agreed to raising new revenues.

Raising taxes will not tame the deficit. Even if it did bring in a piddling bit more in “revenue,” Obama and the socialist democrats would not only continue spending, but they’ll bump it up to new records. We’re already spending over 100% of GDP every year. Confiscate ALL of the wealth and the socialist government would still spend us over the cliff!!

Wow...The Dow was green before he started talking. Now it is down over 100 points. Are the American people really that stupid that they can’t see the mainstream media lying so blatantly.

Reuters blatantly lying as usual.
To: Jean S
Well for those of us who missed the opportunity to be laid off in the fall of ‘08, we’ll be getting another chance soon. Just like FDR, unemployment should begin going back up again with the next term of the new savior.

Dow’s been down all day except for the first hour.
The market was waiting for the Fed Minutes, not the speech.

Losses were cut briefly in advance of the speech in hopes that he would be conciliatory.
When the market found out it was all going to be typical Obama junk it dove.
