    Fear, plain and simple. The markets were afraid of what would happen with this inexperienced new President.

    The country is in a slow melt down because the Government has lost the trust and faith of the American people. As we exchange Presidents and their administrations, let’s also hold our representatives and senators, on both sides of the isle, responsible for their parts in the economic meltdown. The politicians below have been exposed for their unbridled greed, ignoring their fiduciary responsibilities, lying to and deceiving the American people.

    Uh you call a 38% decline prior to the election vs 10% after Obama tanking the market?

    I didn’t vote Obama nor do I support him in any fashion but your thinking is sloppy at best.

    Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more nonsensical question pretending to be serious.

    I don’t know, it might have had something to do with the ENTIRE CREDIT INDUSTRY collapsing over the past six months due to lack of regulation? I’m sure there was fear involved as well, as rich people feared for their money. But considering many of those are probably the same rich people who helped cause the crisis by bribing and extorting the government to prevent proper regulations from being put into place, I don’t consider that a bad thing.
