Sign Of The Times
The Dow Jones dropped 250 points yesterday to reach its lowest level in a dozen years, meaning the battered industrial average has now fallen to roughly half of its all-time high of 14,164.53 recorded just sixteen months ago.
The S&P 500 also hit a 12-year low yesterday, and Asian markets lost ground in response to yet another U.S. stock sell-off.
The Dow has lost 2,000 points this year alone – 734 of them since President Barack Obama signed his massive economic “stimulus” proposal into law last week.
In related news, Randolph and Mortimer want you to get back in there and “Sell! Sell! Sell!’

Strange that you continue to hew so closely to the same rhetoric that failed in the last campaign.
By the way, you guys lost.
The idea that Obama is to blame for the current mess is a joke. And it’s even funnier when the solution you’re offering is to retrace the steps that got us here. That may be the saddest illustration of the current state of the Republican Party.

Patti,
For liberals like you, it’s all about “rhetoric” and electioneering, isn’t it?
Imposing your party’s failed economic policies is only making our national economic situation even worse. But that’s OK…because the out-of-touch, irresponsible pork barrel spending exhibited by your fellow Democrat partisans will undoubtedly convince American voters to show you the door in the mid-term elections.
Sayonara!

Randolph and Mortimer might want to “Sell! Sell! Sell!” but if I remember right they were flat broke at the end of the movie and if it wasn’t for Obama then there wouldn’t be any programs to help them rise up again. Oh and I guess Eddie Murphy stepping in to help them out with a bag of cash (Coming to America) isn’t all that dissimilar from what’s going on today. Uhmm. Is that life imitating art or art foreshadowing life???

“Imposing your party’s failed economic policies ”
Oh, the sweet irony. Remember who got us where us where we are. In any event, 10 trillion of the 11 trillion of the debt was amassed by Republicans. That’s a fact.
By the way, you should learn to read polls. The president and the Democratic Party are cleaning your clock. The mid-terms will only do one thing: Increase the Democratic majority.
