Oct 2013

As Obama started to speak the Dow was down nearly 140 points. As he concluded his press conference the Dow bounced back to where it was only down 95 points. Then John Boehner spoke and the Dow closed down 160. One assumes the American peoples sentiments pretty much mirrored the trade activity on the Dow. Obama gave hope and Boehner dumped cold water on that hope. And the Republicans think they are winning the PR battle with the American people. How delusional of them.
