OBAMA KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE’S DOING. We have let the Left indoctrinate the young millions for two generations. Obama studied with the Rev. Wright for 20 years, learning how to shape and move the sheeple. He will likely be our President-For-Life (not a pun).

Obama=Chavez

November 5, 2008 (Wednesday after Election Day): -486 (5.0%)

January 20, 2009 (Inauguration Day): -332 (4.0%)
February 10, 2009 (one day after Obama declares that without a stimulus, “an economy that is already in crisis will be faced with a catastrophe”): -382 (4.6%)
February 17, 2009 (market opens for the first time after Congress passes $787 billion stimulus on February 13; Obama signs bill into law, declaring, “The stimulus lets Americans claim destiny.”): -298 (3.8%)
February 19, 2009 (one day after Obama announces potential mortgage relief plan): -90 (1.2%)

They’re Obama fans. I didnt catch all of the conversation as I was busy myself, but it seems they were mostly satisfied with appearances. They are sold on the packaging. The look, the feel, the message.

One woman commented on how, when the camera panned the house, there was a noticeable difference in demeanor from one isle to the next. The stodgy old Republicans appeared glum, said the woman with glee. “Thats because they arent making anymore money”, replied her friend.

These are professional women. They have bought into the meme that only Republicans are out to make money and do so on the backs of regular people by cheating them. They’re evil people who get what they deserve.

Getting ourselves out of this is not going to be easy. We dont own the message or the messenger. If the economy sinks lower, congress can haul a set of CEO’s before the cameras and make them the blame for it.

Being that Obama is black, merely pointing out his short comings will be dismissed as racist.

Now we are all New Orleans residents.

Do you ask yourself that Neo? I do.

Goodies given away by the government has expanded since 1960’s.

Defense spending has gone from 50% of the budget to 19% of the budget since the 1960’s.

Nobody will want their goodies taken away from them.

Spending has gotten worse and worse.

Spending is the problem. Mitsu and Obama policies no matter how much they don’t understand macro-economics are here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Dependency for me. Dependency for thee..

I’m still in a funk.

Whether it’s in 2010, 2012, or even 2016, it will happen. And then we will likely get another period of tremendous prosperity. It may be 10 years, but the market will rebound and grow — it always has.

Up with confidence. Down with lack of confidence.

I almost sold today. I’m considering it all a loss….. It’s the lottery in 10 years if it regains it’s value…

Obama’s rhetoric and policies have already tanked it when it seemed on the road to recovery. We’re at the lowest level in more than a decade.

The world has gone INSANE. Have people lost their minds?? Where are the grown-ups?

You know something is wrong when you find yourself nodding in agreement with Alan Keyes:
