Aren’t you giving Obama a lot of power to be able to drive down the stock market? I see this as everything in our economy contributing to the failing financial structure…Auto industry, jobless rate increase, cut backs, bailouts, handouts, down and outs, etc. The auto exec’s blatant slap in the face by using their 2oG private jet round trip costs, the failing real estate situation, bad choices people made to drive themselves into insurmountable debt in order to “keep up with the Jones’s, out of control credit card spending which leads to bankruptcy, etc. We are a nation of “phantom money”, greed and access to excess. This downward spiral has been inching closer to the edge of the cliff for years. It’s just that now we’re at the edge and it’s a long way down. But what do I know…I am just a simple social worker.
