Stock market set to rocket on prospects of Obama Presidency (up 250 points already)

I agree. Those Senate seats are very important but so is Obama’s presser. He can help stem this crisis if he reneges on his plans to raise taxes. I think many in the market hope that Obama blows off raising taxes, the centerpiece of his re-election campaign.

The problem right now is nobody really knows what he will do. He has such an astonishing thin record to go on and is adding Dem partisans and Clinton retreads with ties to Fannie and Freddie to his potential cabinet. With Emmanuel as Chief of Staff, there will be no uniting of Red and Blue America. And with the Clinton hacks back there will be no real change.

It was Clinton who signed into law the removal of key parts of Glass/Stegall breaking down barriers between investment firms and banks and also pushed “regulation” which not only encouraged subprime loans to folks who couldn’t get conforming loans but required these loans to get federal money if you were a company bigger than $1 billion.

I am not saying that the Dems were only to blame. Both sides deserve blame. Unfortunately the electorate seemed to blame only one side for this mess. So not only are some key players who helped cause this mess are still in power heading committees in Congress and some will also be coming back to work in the White House.

Say your prayers.

Perhaps some of you are younger which would explain the “enthusiasm” for either side. Having been a round a while I’ve learned that things really don’t change very dramatically in short periods of time – regardless of who is in control. Even under Clinton when the Dem’s had control of everything not much changed. And, obviously when the Republicans had control they did nothing of any import on the positive side (plenty of negatives).

Sure, either side can point to small things that were done and exaggerate them as if they were significant achievements but my tax rates have been fairly consistent throughout the years. Plus or minus a few percent doesn’t really make that much difference. A flat tax of 15% or something might be exciting but we’re not going to see that.

As for blaming everything on Bush – I think it got way out of control and I have to admit it will be fun to blame EVERYTHING on Obama for a while. I don’t think he will get the same poor treatment from the media as Bush did. He will always be shown as taking his time, carefully considering every option, meditating to reach heretofore unrealized intellectual levels of thought. Then he will jack things up just as bad as any other president has.

It should be fun. What comes around goes around.

Anyway, I agree with Chris that Obama will not follow through with a lot of his promises (Bush didn’t either). He will try to remain somewhat centrist during his first term. In fact, he will probably spend a lot of time trying to control some of the wack left wingers in the House and Senate. They will be the one’s to watch.

Well, I’m off to sign up for some government programs. Might as well get what I can get. I’ve grown weary of trying to do things the right way and getting shafted so those days are done. I want to be first in line when the new give-a-ways start rolling out. Get as much as you can even if you don’t need it! That’s my new mantra. Woohoo!

Obama is getting ready to speak, so perhaps he will address some of those worrisome issues. Maybe his speech should have been given after the market’s close. For better or worse, I think he is the President and I do not think a recount will change anything.
