Congratulations W
Jan 20, 2001-
DOW was at 10,660.

Today-
The DOW tumbled by almost 450 points to close at 7,552.

In all likelihood, Obama will inherit a stock market that is in worse shape than when Bush II first took office.

Heckuva job, Georgie!

1. I told my parents, they should have cashed in their 401k when it was around 14,000
and taken the tax penalty.. they'd be more ahead than they are now.. I think there are a whole mess of baby boomers freaking out. My mom said, "I'll never be able to retire, and as its going now, I won't even be able to move in with you guys, I'm still trying to help you out." 8yrs to ruin the country.

2. Your parents could have
gone to cash within the 401k without a tax penalty.

3. Yeah, I should've cashed in everything a year ago too, but I foolishly listened to 'the experts'.
But yeah, on W, hey, you know it's all ... somehow ... Obama's fault, right? I'm sure the RW media is yelling that already...
