Obama will show how great a president he actually is. Today the stock market fell 322 points the most in any one day .........also the lowest in over 30 years is the dow average---less than 7000 first time......people have a lot of confidence in our new leader would'nt you say.

waukone, Wisconsin — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:38:23 GMT

The stock market fell because the banks are in trouble. Bush's Paulson solution without controls didn't do anything to loosen up credit.

Obama is going to put requirements on the banks and they aren't happy they wanted the money without any conditions so that they could hold on to it and pay themselves bonuses.

Finally there are going to be at least some consequences for those who have violated the public trust.

Ah yes, that would be a reflection on the confidence over the past year with the previous government where the Dow was at 14,000 a year ago. (7,949 today.)

And deep structural financial problems remain. Obama, America and the rest of the world are going to have a huge problem to solve.

Wayne in Kansas City, MO — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:24:24 GMT

I'm just going to take a stab at what this "joe king" person seems to be saying, since it really isn't English, or at least not actual sentences that make a lot of sense. First, the Dow has fallen WAY more than 322 points in a single day before. Second, it falling below 8000 (not 7000) is not the lowest in 30 years, not even the lowest in 10 the last 10 years. Lastly, the person calling themselves "waukone" is somewhat correct in saying the issue is the banks being in trouble, again. Some of it has to do with their greed, but a lot of it also has to do with the Bush Administration encouraging Bank of America and CitiCorp buy up institutions that were in deep trouble. Not to say that this was a stupid move by the banks themselves, but it seems to me to be Econ 101 that shifting a dangerously unstable set of assets to a different entity is going to put that entity in serious danger itself.

Let's hope that the Obama Administration and Congress can come up with a shred of common sense amongst themselves, rather than just throwing money at disasters and hoping for the best!

Joe King ... [...] Instead of looking at the hope of the moment, you chose to indict his abilities before he even began his presidency... clearly you want him to fail. There is NO way a greedy Wall Street is going to love Barack's comments, because his plan does not just line the pockets of big business as they have gotten used to. You can't deny his inclusive message, his hopeful can-do attitude, and his ability to get all of us Americans into action. I, for one, will stand up and work hard to help him achieve his goals at his first request; just as I volunteered for the first time ever on a presidential campaign last Fall.

waukone: you're wrong. the markets have been trading down in recent days in anticipation [fear] of obama/s economic "stimulus" plan. Today it opened to the downside and traded down about 100 on the dow prior to obama's jiminy cricket speech [pick yourself up dust yourself off etc. Traders on the floor, watched in silence. Right after obama finished his masterpiece of sophistry the dow traded down another 200. the only positive moment was a round of appreciative applause from the entire floor of the nyse for Bush when he landed at Andrews. Figure it out yet?

Uh, Joe? Did you just recently discover news on the internet? You don't have to go that far back into "the archives" to see that 322 points isn't anywhere near the largest single-day stock market drop. This also isn't the lowest the market has been in the last six months. So, while your conservative skepticism is duly noted - your facts are total SPAM. Now that you've discovered the 'net, you can look up what that means.

Mr Obama should come out of this smelling like roses. My logic – Even the Great Depression turned after 3 and a bit years. And we are already more than one year into this mess. So unless the powers that be can somehow manage do a worse job of dealing with things than their predecessors did back in the 1930s (which would seem unlikely, given all the support coming from everywhere) Obama should be presiding over an economy that is emerging from a very bad patch within 2 years or so maximum. Which would give him another 2 years to bask in the glory before his term is up. Not a bad deal at all looked at in perspective.

Joe perhaps you should read some of the real reasons why the market was slow.....such as Wells Fargo getting downgraded and Bank of America needing more money....as if what they already got was not enough. The truth of the matter is that the previous administration's lack of control got us into this mess.....give the new guy in power time to prove that he can do it, if he can't then you are welcome to trash him!

Part of the problem is that OBAMA has no real experience, it's positive discrimination at it's grandest. Modern technology, money and the reputation of Bush allowed a better candidate McCain to lose who could have handled this situation we are in. So far the last three election has allowed a less able man to became President. I suspect other people will control him so there is not so much to worry, the marketing people dare not allow OBama to louse up. Still in the name of symbolism and an undeserved third term for the the Reps who cares.

I don't see how President Obama can do any worse.. I just disagree that he would hire an X-Clanton, what was he thinking?

American needs someone that cares about our country and our people and during the last 16 years that was not part of the political agenda. Just ask any congressman or senator how much money they were paid for selling our country down the foreign drain?

I would like for President Obama and our people to take back our country from those that destroyed it.

Dalt, get your facts straight. Obama didn't make the error in the oath. It was Chief Justice John Roberts who screwed it up. Obama DID start too early, but Roberts made errors throughout the reading of it and Obama had to decide whether to repeat the words Roberts said or recite them correctly. Being polite, he went ahead and repeated them as Roberts read them rather than correcting him. Roberts apologized.

Most of those writting in defending Barack Hussen Obama must think they are smarter then the wall street experts who reported that indeed It was one of if not the largest one day drops that occured in the stock market following an election of a new president. It is also well known by experts that the stock market almost always goes down when a Democrate is elected becasue they always say what the people want to hear (more money for the poor and promise to lower taxes on
the middle class) and do something else Lie and raise taxes) this is why businesses and stocks go down because they are smart enough to know what it will do to the economy. Bushes tax reduction plan did work but was liimited by the Dumocrates who approved about a fourth of what he asked for. Now 8 years later Hussen Obama is trying to do the smae thing but the Democrates think the same Idea is a good thing now. Problem is if they had supported the president to do what was good for the country and not worry about Republican or Dumocrate politics we would be in better shape economically already. Now Obama is going to have to tackle a problem that is much worse because of Democratic stalling. And try to do the smae thing Bush wanted to do much earlier when it would have been much more effective! If people were honest with themselves they would see this! Problem is you always have some Democrate trying to brain wash folks instead of telling the truth. Even on this little web Page. I have noticed that even on Tv when Democrates can not support their position with facts they think a big mouth and talking loud and being rude makes them right and some how proves their point!

Basically, you're saying were an obstreperous. I don't think so. I sense something very wrong with this entire situation. News stations were counting official votes at about one onehudred for Obama and one hundred thousand or more for McCain. They'd keep the votes for Obama once it hit 100 or even change to him from McCain at random times, but never to McCain. Obama recited the oath incorrectly. True, he was being polite, but I have a feeling that there's another reason John said it wrong. Oh, and his plan to 'save' our 'economy' involves lowering taxes while somehow pulling more money from our pockets? What's that mean? More taxes? What next? Taxes on blowing your nose, breathing air and existing? Gee, whoopie-stinken'-do! I'm sure happy I live in America, now I get to pay even more taxes! I love being poor! WHOO! Look! In a few years, nobody'll be poor cuz we don't have money, but Obama does! That's like, so totally fair! Ha, NO. Some of us put blood sweat and tears into our money and I doubt anyone's going to stand any more taxes for long. I understand if you think 'sharing' will get us out of this mess, but when we started 'sharing' *cough*wasting*cough* our money with other countries that don't need our help, we got a huge debt. They got themselves into poverty, well TOUGH. Does a strong, powerful lion let a starving lion feed off of him because he's hungry? Um, no. Not really. While that'd be nice and all and make a great special for Animal Planet, I'm sorry but life doesn't work that way. Nature has no pity for the weak, evolution killed off the weaker traits and made us what we are so why are we dragging our selves down? Were spending one billion dollars every eight hours and fourty minutes and if you think for even a second that giving Obama all your money will help you're so wrong it's not even worth discussing. Oh, and let's not forget that Obama wants to take away our weapons, disband the entire U.S. Army and open borders to Iraq. IRAQ! The place that's, ya know, trying to BLOW US UP? Am I the only one who thinks that we just got sucker punched by a huge terrorist organization? Surely there must be someone else here who also see this as shady, or at the very least a little strange. If this is all one very strange coincidence, fine, so be it, I'm wrong, Obama's a good president, but I feel something very bad's going to happen soon, on the level of 9/11. We didn't think terrorists would stoop to that level and they did, so what makes it impossible for one to be our president? It's like a cute little girl getting cancer. Yes, it's possible, no, we don't like it or expect it, but either way the procedure is the same to get rid of it and we can't just ignore it or very bad things happen. Can we at least get a background check on this guy? Why'd he burn his birth records before running and change religion? When he gets our money, where's he going to send it? When he has our weapons, what's he going to use them for? Why does he want to disband the Army? Because they're "mean"? Either we picked one very stupid person as our new leader, a genius terrorist mind, or he just got very, very lucky. If this is posted, there's going to be so much lag it rivals the videos, but honestly I think it'd be worth it. Feel free to remove the 'no flaming' rule, I'm ready for 4/5 of every post to somehow flame me and I believe everything here will defeat those people.

Our President realizes this and has asked for our help... so let's get to work..We don't have a minute to waste...

I think it's funny how Mr. "Fed up with you half-wits" uses the word "patriotic", which implys supporting one's home country, and then "global" in the same sentence. I am the only one who sees the irony in that?

That said, I also think it's funny how most comments attacking conservative views and praising President Obama (God bless him, no matter what he believes) will fall upon deaf ears, seeing as how there aren't many conservatives posting here. I don't really care about the goverment, seeing as how lopsided our voting system is. I laugh every time I hear someone say go make your vote count!

But about the actual blog, I can see the Internet going down because of people watching the Inauguration, seeing as how not only US citizens were watching, but the rest of the world too.

And you Illinois, in the land of the USA, are not the least among the states of the USA: for out of you shall come a President, that shall rule my people in America.

For to us a president is inaugurated, to us a son is given: and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, The mighty Economist, The everlasting Progressive, The Prince of Bipartisanship.

Joe King or Joe the plummer, what's the difference?

Both are such great citizens, supportive of improving and moving forward of our great nation - NOT!

Listen folks, we are in this together, can't we look to the future and HOPE for the best with this new president. Bless us all!

Did anyone think ahead to see that off shoring our U.S. jobs would so quickly bring down the economy ? This has been undoing our , as a nation , ability to pay for the basics as food , clothing and shelter . Why has our government given tax breaks to those whom move jobs over seas ? The business that have done that are are only looking for very short term gaines and NOT in the best lonf term interest of the American people . We as a people must as watch out for "keeping up with the Jones" !!! Can you ever ... ?

Let me get this straight. W screws the country for 8 years. Turned the US around from a growing economy & growing jobs to moving those real jobs overseas, significantly dropping most people's real income degraded their medical benefits, and trashed their retirement by robbing their 401 Ks & the SSN for his buddies, destroyed the U.S, credibility overseas, put the US in more debt than ever, assaulted our Constitutional Rights,...and, some how it's all the fault of the Guy who took office just a couple of days ago?

Oh come on guys, the man is not a god, he is not perfect. He is just that, a man- just like any other... And should be treated with respect just like any other. Give him a chance, simply that is due to him.and afterwards, IF he screws up only then can you RESPECTFULLY disagree with what he has done. Think before you talk, it will save you all a great deal of embarrassment.

Childish bickering, instead we may want to find way to create a business,read history, learn how to think and use reason, stop the trivial conversation and have a suggestion on how you can help the economy.
Blogging gossips does not help anyone.
Everytime I read this comments I feel sorry for some of you.
