I bet last weeks numbers were revised upwards (AGAIN) to make the increase look smaller.

The plunge should have been predicted. Kramer was saying BUY BUY BUY 2 days ago. Now the PPT will have to work overtime today.

First, I love your tag line and agree with it.

Second, you just gotta wonder how much of these three reactions are going on in the WH:

1) Excellent!, everything is going to plan!;

2) Oh crap, how do we spin this?; and/or

3) (from the Keynesians) Why does this keep happening? We're doing everything right! We must need more government stimulus.

Remember last year’s “Recovery Summer”? Obama planned to leverage summer seasonal hiring to claim the recovery was happening. Now a year later, there is a continuing decline even during the summer months.

“How he doesn’t sink into 30% approval with this s*** going on is beyond me.”

Because all most people see is a quick scan of the headlines on their cell-phones, a 3-second soundbite on the radio while driving to work, or what Oprah, The View, and The Daily Show tell them....

Yes, that is really the world we live in now.

socialism will work when the right people are in charge

Spoken like the "lion" of the senate: ;*)

This should help dwindle that “bump” in the polls.
