Now we need President Obama to quit the campaign trail and start looking presidential.

How about acting Presidential?

Well, first she says that the market doesn't like these pork-laden boondoggles, and therefore it has been going down ever since the inauguration.

But then she say, in effect, "So, hurry up and push these miserable plans through and save us, Messiah!" I don't see how else you can interpret this money quote:

We all get that he inherited this mess, but as a candidate he had a lot of answers on how he would manage the clean-up; it’s time to get on with it. He needs to push his initiatives forward as quickly as possible, and create some optimism that spending trillions of dollars will get us out of this crisis. We know that having the government patch up schools or revise mortgages will be untidy and expensive, but the sheer volume of money being thrown at these problems will ultimately have an impact.

In other words, "Faster, Obama, faster! Throw more money at the problem! Push through MORE Porculus bills."

Yeah, great. This reporter has an IQ of no more than 75, I would venture to guess.

Rush says, "I hope he fails," because he's trying to destroy the country. This idiot says, "I hope he succeeds," because he's trying to destroy the country. Hmmm. A bad case of koolaid drinking here.

I heard people calling talk radio today who were Dems and voted for him. They also gave him an F. Out of control spending was the main reason, also broken campaign promises.

If life were “Peanuts” I’d give him a Z minus, but an F will have to suffice.

The market began to tank as soon as it become evident that Obama even may become president.

Take Drudge’s ‘historic’ link:
http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chdet=1235163600000&chddm=8602&q=INDEXDJX:.DJI&ntsp=0

... and drag the bracket slider at the bottom to when Obama announced his bid in Jan. ‘07. Then check the Real Clear Politics tracking of McCain’s favorable/unfavorable graph:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/mccain_favorableunfavorable-642.html

...and the Obama vs. Clinton graph:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/democratic_presidential_nomination-191.html

... then the Obama vs. McCain graph:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html

Match each to the Dow and you’ll see that the market had been anticipating an Obama victory for a while.

patch up schools

Clueless, just clueless.

As for the sheer volume, the market has destroyed more this month than the stimulus bill.

You can't solve the crisis by attacking the only people who can fix it. You can't make capital more abundant by confiscating it. You can't make the market go up by issuing subpeonas and talking up nationalization.

You back the heck off and try to actually help financiers --- or you go straight to hell.

Your choice. All yours.

Delivering a 1000-page bill to our legislators just two hours before the signing deadline

There may have been a plausible reason to justify for that.

(and then going on a long-weekend holiday before signing it)

Right up until that point.

Obama has shown himself to be an outrageous con artist.

think what the market would be if ZerO
said
1- eliminate corp taxes
2-half off fica taxes
3- i am gong to drastically cut spending
4- no bailouts
5-a few bombs for iran for just being a#$%&*es
it would be above 14,000
plus his approval rating would be 90%.
Now, i believe ZerO knows this, so his goal is to ruin the country, no other explanation.

Peek is wrong on several counts. Her assertion that Obama “inherited” the mess omits the fact that Obama and his leftist cohorts helped create the mess through decades of anti-market actions. She will very shortly be longing for Bush back in the Oval Office.
