repubics already blaming obama for the dow problems
i'm tired of all the repubes trying to talk me down about the economy. the dow is down again, and they blame obama. they think he's only going to help people on wellfare and raise taxes on everyone else. they think his notion of change is nothing but rhetoric and will lead to socialism(nothing new here)

i really try to avoid getting into these arguments, but my other obama supporting friends and co-workers always manage to justify these repuke claims by sounding completely clueless when trying defend obama's policies. i feel like the lone voice of reason most of the time. what can i do make these wannabe bill o'reilys shut the F up?

1. Simple: "Obama's not in office yet. That's why it's still going down."

4. hey assholes. bush is your president.
remember what went good under clinton was due to old bush or republicans in congress,
when it fucked up under bush it was clintons fault or the congressional dems,
now bush is still president and its obamas fault.

republicans are world class assholes.

5. Wow. That's a welcome change from them blaming Clinton.
It's amazing how Clinton was responsible for the 1st Bush recession, then Bush was responsible for a slight recovery, then Clinton was responsible again for a 2nd Bush slowdown. Now, apparently, Obama is responsible despite the fact that he isn't even in office yet.

As if Clinton or Obama is in any remote way responsible for the $500 billion annual deficit or the $5 trillion Bush has added to the national debt. Every penny of that is as a result of Bush's policies pushed by Republicans. The tax cuts, the war, the bank bailout, the bloated earmarks.

Modern Republicans are some of the biggest dumbfucks in the history of dumbfuckery.

7. the market isn't reacting to Obama's election now and it wasn't reacting to it on Monday
During the campaign, there were occasional threads started that tried to tie an upward swing the stock market to poll results showing Obama stretching his lead, or vice versa. I said it was stupid to try to make that connection then. And its stupid for anyone to try and tie the downward movement the last two days to Obama's election.

9. Can you believe it? First, they complain that he has only been in national office since 2006 and
has been campaigning most of the time. Then, they want to blame him for everything Washington did wrong in the last 20 or so years to cause this. Some people love maroon.

10. Oh, I believe you.
Tell your friends the DOW was lower than this last month, and if they weren't idiots, they'd know that.
