Architect: For the last 8 years we have heard from liberals that every bad thing that happens is GW's fault. Since taking office the Messiah and his minions have blamed GW for every problem they are facing even when incontrovertible evidence shows the economic problems are primarily a result of Democrat politicians actions. So now suddenly nothing that happens in the economy or the markets that can be attributed to the President.....sorry, but you libs can't have it both ways.

As for the markets, I would hope you understand that movements in the market are a result of a future expectation of economic and individual performance. That is why the markets move up and down with good or bad economic news, good or bad pronouncements from government officials, etc. If you think that is wrong then you have had your head in the sand or up your backside your entire life and I would like to sell you some ocean front property in Arizona. Is the Messiah responsible for every movement in the market? Of course not. Can he both in the short term with his statements and in the long term with his policies impact the markets? Absolutely! You need to read The Forgotten Man so you can learn something about whether FDR-like political acts can impact the market and you will see your "rare" statement is just plain wrong.

With regard to your comment on the polls, I never denied the unpopularity of Republicans in Congress which is frankly largely influenced by their abandoning conservative principles. But you are acting just like Lady and are cherry picking numbers. I presented an overall picture that a majority still approve of the job of the Messiah but the numbers are dropping and are lower than two recent Presidents that ended their terms with very low numbers. That is a fact whether you like it or not. Congress which is clearly run by Democrats is still very unpopular and as I said in an earlier post Republicans are tied or lead in the generic poll question. All this is reason to be optimistic.......certain of pending change? No. Optimistic.....yes. That was all I said and I stand by that statement and given a mosaic of polling data it is reasonable to be optimistic. You can be whatever you want to be.
