		<description>For what it&#039;s worth, my brokers are family and we&#039;ve all divested like millions of others because it&#039;s an Obama sell off. If we&#039;re gonna have to hide our guns n ammo why the he** not our money? 

Sure not giving it to Obama&#039;s vision &amp; lifelong dreams of a gigantic worldwide Kum Barack  welfare state, that&#039;s for dam* sure. We half got out when they passed that  Obama Global Poverty UN bill in Feb,  Senate Bill 2433, then anticipating his likely election, that socialist wet dream was enough for us. The rest came November 4th, 4:35 pm and thank the lord for that.</description>

		<description>Follow-up:

Here&#039;s a chart of the Dow over the past year:

http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=DJIA&amp;sid=1643

I think it&#039;s entirely obvious that the week of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy sunk not only McCain, but also the Dow. Everything which has happened since then is all noise -- down and up. The downward trend will continue as the economy sinks deeper into the current recession.  No one can seriously maintain that the stock market would be any stronger/more stable right now had McCain been elected.

		<description>In electing Obama, the majority bought a pig in a poke.  That means they couldn&#039;t see if it was sick or crippled or even an elderly runt.

    Obama ran an almost perfect wall of silence campaign.  And his &#039;slip&#039; about redistributing the wealth may have been a way of saying, &quot;Vote for me and I&#039;ll send you a check.&quot;  Reaction to it was what made him limit the largesse to employed people until he gets elected.

  He favored gun control until the large favorable reaction to the supreme court ruling.  Then he looked so sad, hung his head, even scuffed his toe, and mumbled that he believed people have a right to own guns.

    He constantly said he would fix this or that or everything but never hinted at how.  It was all silent on the information front.

    Soon, we will be getting our fill of details.  But the media is already setting him up to be able to say, &quot;The democrat legislature refused to be reigned in.&quot;

    So, how will we feel when we finally get a good look at our brand new pig?</description>

		<description>No, Craig... she was being sarcastic, but it was all to benefit Obama.  She was calling Cindy a &quot;harpy&quot;.  That, of course,   would be the pot (Amelia) attempting to call an elegant piece of china (Cindy) a kettle...   Amelia&#039;s already demonstrated her lack of cash.  And I doubt I have seen her out there leading missions of emergency relief personally, and forming int&#039;l children&#039;s charity organizations like Operation Smile.

Then, of course, she was trying to point to Bush&#039;s attempt to privatize social security... in the wake of this economic plunge.  She did, however, fail to tell me where my 40+ years of contributing to my retirement via taxes are going to come from.  Fact is, as the government takes on more and more, I expect to see less and less return on the cash I&#039;ve already paid those high spending spoiled Congressional types thru the decades (yes... both parties).

But it&#039;s just the typical Obama supporter, seeing the world thru a dazzling haze of excitement and rose colored glasses.  It will take time for reality to become apparent.   And as more of the population moves to being dependent upon government, they&#039;ll wish they had not wanted that so badly.</description>

		<description>&quot;Funny how President-Elect Obama gets the highly-educated vote while the dirty fighter and his lying harpy can proudly claim the votes of the “patriotic” beady-eyed mouth breathers.&quot; (Amelia)

I think you got this upside down.   Just look who voted for THE ONE.  It,will tell you how much you are wrong... lol

Gee, are all American Obamtrons as stupid and ignorant as Amelia?</description>

		<description>&quot;Buy on rumor, sell on news&quot; is an old saying. With hindsight, it&#039;s easy to ascribe which is which. My guess is that the rumor was the McCain hopefulness, and the news was the result.</description>

		<description>The market works approximately 6 months ahead. I work with some very high level investors on acquisitions, construction, housing, etc and they tell me that come the end of today, they are cutting back to GB1 levels and unloading what they feel are marginal stocks and getting out. They are contemplating turning their money into cash and &#039;stuffing their mattresses&#039;, sic. Actually putting it into Gold.</description>

		<description>Dems Target Private Retirement Accounts 
carolina Journal ^ &#124; November 04, 2008 &#124; Karen McMahan 

RALEIGH — Democrats in the U.S. House have been conducting hearings on proposals to confiscate workers’ personal retirement accounts — including 401(k)s and IRAs — and convert them to accounts managed by the Social Security Administration. 

Triggered by the financial crisis the past two months, the hearings reportedly were meant to stem losses incurred by many workers and retirees whose 401(k) and IRA balances have been shrinking rapidly. 

The testimony of Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, in hearings Oct. 7 drew the most attention and criticism. Testifying for the House Committee on Education and Labor, Ghilarducci proposed that the government eliminate tax breaks for 401(k) and similar retirement accounts, such as IRAs, and confiscate workers’ retirement plan accounts and convert them to universal Guaranteed Retirement Accounts (GRAs) managed by the Social Security Administration.

		<description>Thanks, Craig, for the video...

CHARLIE ROSE - ECONOMIST MILTON FRIEDMAN

The Dems lied, and more than 50% of Americans were &quot;hoodwinked&quot; by those socialist losers.

But the real problem is the loser Rinos who aren&#039;t real Conservatives.  They keep their mouthes shut because they are afraid of their own shaddows.  They don&#039;t tell people the truth, and so Americans are able to be conned into believing Obama&#039;s disinformation.  It&#039;s the Rinos who are the real problem.  So, before we start blaming Democrats, we have to clean out our own house.  Only then can we successfully &quot;trow da odder bums out!&quot;</description>
