Oh boy ... Dow futures are already down 176 for tomorrow. More hope and change. I guess Obama is right about one thing ... his huge deficits, lack of job creation and failed stimulus program will most likely result in a double dip recession.
But it is all Bush's fault ... that Obama's policies don't work and create jobs. Yeah, that has always worked ... making excuses for your own failures.
Please someone, anyone, tell me what this guy has done right or has worked? Please. There must be something.

Just checked Bloomberg. Markets all over the planet fell abruptly on Dubai's plans to delay it's debt repayment. Of course it was probably on Obama's orders him being a Muslim and all that.....New first time unemployment claims fall almost 40,000 last week to 466,000 the lowest level in over 60 weeks. As I recall most econimists say that 380,000 to 400,000/week is about the level at which losses vs gains in jobs come into balance. As I've said to the shouts of derision from you and MM, the news has to become less bad before it turns good. Don't you just pray every day that the less bad turn back to more bad to save your stirling reputation as economic prognosticator and political analyst? I think my pridiction of modest employment gains beginning in February or March is looking pretty good. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

Hey good hearing from you finally. I thought you were so busy with the booming economy.
I think most of us that do not look through rose colored glasses see the reality of Obama's policies.
BTW, you actually predidicted job growth later than February or March ... i said we may see positive growth by then. But that does not mean his policies are working. Remind me what you said unemployment would be.
And gee ... I gave you two stocks ... one that tripled in less than a month and the other doubled.
Picking stocks in this economy is easy ....

Do you still stand by 8.2% by december next year or 6.2% by the next election? If you do ... I will be happy to take that bet as I am sure others will as well. If you are right ... Obama and the other socialists will get a second term even though it would still be higher than what Bush accomplished.
I will spot you a full 1/2 percent and gladly bet you $100 on each. While I feel it is like taking candy from a baby, I will be happy to pay up since it would be good for the country. Care to take the bet ... I will go higher too if you want to gamble a little.
You can not get a sustained recovery without job growth and you can not get job growth when you are putting government on the backs of business with higher taxes and regulation and poor policy like socialized healthcare. Then when you add the huge deficits Obama is running up which will become inflationary once you get any recovery ... will make any recovery will be short lived.
Obama wants more revenue flowing in to the government ... but everything he is doing is causing lower revenue ... the best way to increase tax revenues is through GROWTH, not higher taxes. The socialist just do not get that concept.
You run a business and you should know that cutting your price sometimes can yeild more business or close a deal. Volume helps. Or you can stand by your price, say what great margins you have, but very little business. The same goes for taxes ... higher taxes on business and higher incomes is bragging rights to the lower income voters ... but if it destroys jobs and does not promote growth ... what has it accomplished. NOTHING.
BTW: Judd will be in the republican mix either as the candidate or VP.
