    ”so what gives? how could it be?

    ”the numbers simply don't prove your theory. in fact, they disprove it.

    so, you've stepped in a big pile. nice going”

    Cuz were talking about “Markets” the Approve / Disapprove of Obama and his plans are reflected in the Market reports.
    Fact is the Markets have no faith in Obama or his plans.
    That should be obvious by now ya think!

    As it became clear Obama would win the election, the markets pulled back into a “wait and see” mode.

    Obama’s answer to JTP, “spread the wealth”, and the Lefts reaction, spooked the market.

    Obama ramming through his “wish list recovery act” didn’t impress anyone and the markets dived again.

    What was it this week?
    Oh ya the President of the USA attacking a “privet” American citizen.

    Amazing, the world and the country want the economy fixed and Obama attacks a “privet” American citizen, hint it aint gonna work.

      thanks, injest, for stepping right into the same pile.

      this problem is worldwide, and it started some time ago (well before Obama took power thats for dam sure). if your explanation was correct, which its not, the markets would only have started tanking after Obama won the election (they started tanking well before that) and it would also explain why markets, like the asian markets, aren't doing well (which it doesn't).

      your other mistake? well, the idea to start this thread was that Obama's popularity is falling along with the market, and that simply ain't true. which means you obvioulsy didn't go look at the numbers on the Rasmussen daily poll.

      if you did you would have seen that while Obama's numbers have gone down slightly, they've been very high ever since he stepped into office - he had higher approval ratings at the one-month period than either Bush or Clinton.

      and if you look at other polls, like gallup, his numbers are even higher, and haven't really changed that much.

      he's still VERY popular, and still has a much higher than average approval rating. no matter what you guys are trying to say in the contrary.

      so, you guys can try and fudge the numbers all you want, you can try to make the situation out to be something that its not, but what you've really got on your hands here is a very popluar president with solid backing for his plans.

      you've also got a GOP that is bereft of any ideas to counter Obama's plans, a GOP that is seen by the vast majority of Americnas as clearly out of touch. the repubs know this, and said so themselves at the last CPAC forum.

      but when faced with this very real crisis, what was their answer?

      well, it was the same answer. no new ideas. let's just try to re-package the same piece of sh*t that America already rejected in 2006 and 2008.

      and thats the WRONG answer.

      and until you guys can come up with new idea, some iodeas that can actually help the masses rather than just help your friends in high places, there's absolutely no reason whatsoever for us to listen to anything the cons have to say.

      you guys had your chance over the last 8 years and failed miserably. deal with it.

        The numbers reflect GM and AIG's posted losses. Period.
