I have little doubt that if McCain had become President this would not have happened. Not because he is a genius, but because he believes in free markets. The markets are afraid of Obama’s spending and what appears to be a move towards socialism. If he said, and meant, that he was an advocate of a market driven economy, and disavowed socialism, the markets would soar. I really believe that. It won’t happen, because it appears that he is in actuality a naive socialist. Socialism is the religion of the envious.

It is amazing in my circle of friends how many for a host of reasons pulled out of the market before the collapse. They are Conservative, they understand “Capital” and they will starve the False-Messiah of Capital. His agenda and his dreams may disintegrate as their is no money for anyone, no matter how much money he tries to print.

Even Hillary would have not have moved this fast to socialize the country. Obama is the capitalist free-marketeer's worst nightmare. It will take a generation to undo the harm he'll cause.
