Wall Street has spoken

Dow down most for any inaugural day. Wall street must know something about the future that all of the Obama voters couldn't comprehend.

Perhaps you don't comprehend that nothing happens over night. It will take time to fix the mess Bush left us.

All economic failures can be tied to liberal congress policies.

So, I look up Jan 20 for today - 2009, 2005, 2001, 1997, 1993, 1989, 1985 and 1981 - and guess what they ALL have in common?? Dow average closed as a loss at 4pm on each of those dates.

To the uneducated conservative posters: The market drop was a result of Barack NOT using his inaugural speech as a platform on addressing Republican failures, but rather than a broader view of the challenges ahead. No specifics were given because this is not the appropriate place nor time. If it were, then the speech would have lasted until well after the 4pm market close.

THIS IS BECAUSE OBAMA DOESN'T WORSHIP JESUS. HE WORSHIPS ALLAH, WHICH DOESN'T CHARGE INTEREST ON MUSLIM BANK ACCOUNTS (GOOGLE IT...ITS TRUE!)

LORD JESUS HELP US ALL. TAKE US THROUGH THE NEXT FOUR YEARS IN PEACE AND SOLITUDE

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND NOONE ELSE!

Allah sets interest rates on bank accounts and doesn't charge muslims interest? Really? Even at Sun Trust or at Credit Unions?

Oh wait, I see the problem there. Muslims shouldn't be charged interest on their bank accounts, they should be earning interest on their bank accounts, like the rest of us. I guess that's allah's big mistake.

God bless america and noone else? Really? He can't even bless the Canadians? Or how about the British? Here I was hoping God would bless the fine people of Norway, at least. They seem like nice people.

It's against the Muslim religion (for devout and orthodox Muslims) to be charged interest on loans, which has no correlation to the economy. Even Skater Boi doesn't understand the fundamentals, like McSame.

You mean the people who have fucked over America are concerned the new President might fuck them over? Why would this be a bad thing?

This is a more valid point. But you shouldn't be getting out of financials, you should be shorting financials.
