Obama Skeds Meeting with Economic Advisers

You say,
Obama, has commited no crimes, what about putting America down before our enemies? That is a crime and it borders on treason. The change Obama wants, is to take our Freedoms and move us into a communistic government and that is also a crime and treason in the highest degree. Like that stupid woman Pelosi, should have been tried for treason. Wake up you stupid people before we loose all our freedoms. You know Capitalism is FREEDOM and Communist is bondage, is this the change you want? No Obama must be impeached, the sooner the better. ( Hank Williams Jr. said these words the other day. Obama, I will keep my freedom, my guns and my money and you Obama can keep your change.) If I'm closed minded, then so be it, but I would rather be closed minded then be opened to communism,homosexual,same sex marriages,XXX movies,atheism... All these are step into bring down America. I will fight to keep my freedoms.. Impeach Obama now...

REICH: …”I am concerned, as I’m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high-skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers…I have nothing against white male construction workers, I’m just saying there are other people who have needs as well.”

The story says "members of the group INCLUDE" those four. It does not say that's gonna be all there is.

Best brains in the country???!!!

Robert Reich?!

David Bonior?!

I hope you are joking.

This is the first transition mistake Obama has made - not who is on the advisory board, but how many. Somebody needs to tell him quickly that the optimum number for a group of this nature is about 7 people. Quantity does not equal quality.

Before he goes much farther, Obama would be well-advised to select an advisor well-trained in management science to get the most mileage out of his administration.

First, I think Obama has picked the best brains in the country for economic advice. Secondly, Obama isn't "increasing" taxes on the wealthy, he is "cutting" the "tax" cut the Bush gave. Capitol gains taxes and income taxes will be the same for the 250,000.00 bracket just as they were under Regan and Clinton.

oh sorry, that was "a $20 million retirement package paid to him by Halliburton after only five years of employment" . ..

Always check with the BBB, Best Brains in the Business.

Arent' Bush and Cheney and a few others going to jail soon - or was it Argentina.

By the way, you'll remember Cheney decided to postpone receiving a $40,000,000 payout bonus from Halliburton because he was running for public office (Vice President) . . .

I guess he can go pick that up now.

Bush nor Obama are having a impact on the market as such, earnings drive the market, along with foreign markets. If any of us feel our individual sales or purchases on the market make any difference we are a little naive. The institutional investors and corporation investors turn the market based on results, future prospects and world issues. Results are poor and the future does not look good for the short term so from my standpoint I do not expect to see a big upward swing in the market for some time. Up and down like a seesaw.

What do you mean impeach Obama? For what? As usual you republicans don't think before you speak. The Repubs said this impeachment garbage right after Clinton was elected in 1992. I find it ironic since the Republican party has a felon elected to the Senate...how about that Stevens from Alaska. So before you go spouting off about impeachment take a good long look at your party members in Congess..a bunch of whinning, crybabies who are never accountable for anything as they always try to blame it on the other party. In my opinion,it was the Republicans that caused our financial crisis when in 1999 (under a Republican controlled congress) that Phil Gramm (R-TX) rammed thru the dismantalling of the Glass-Steagall Act (this is the act that had regulations on brokage firms such as Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac). The deregulation let the greed run rampant. The markets are down because of the high umemployment figures that were released at the beginning of the week not because Obama was elected.

I have never met so many mean-spirited, narrow-mided, bigoted, Un-Christian like people in my life as seems to prevelant in the Republican Party. Your guy had his opportunity for eight years and screwed it up.

The Impeach Obama crowd despises democracy, because it doesn't always honor their limited and elitist vision of what America should be.

These same people made up lies about Obama out of thin air before the election....

And since we rejected their lies, they have grown even more angry. Now they talk about fabricating a crime, accusing him, and prosecuting him. Knowing that such acts of slander are wicked at best and criminal at worst, they are undaunted in their vendetta against the man that America respects and admires.

Instead of embracing the new President with an open mind... instead of pledging to help America where they can... they have decided that our democracy is a fraud, and that they are entitled to circumvent it at their whim.

Watch out for these ones. They are only getting started. Look at what they are saying now... so you are not surprised when they surface in a year or two with accusations against the President. They will create some story... and they will go after Obama with excessive zeal.

Their goal is to take Obama out of the White House. They know this already. Once they are committed to this deed, it is only a matter of time that they will invent a crime.

Impeach Obama?

He's not even President yet.
He hasn't committed a crime.
The constitution does not give anyone authority to impeach a president because the economy took a dive (if it did, Bush would have been impeached by now).

Keep an eye on the "Impeach Obama" lunatics. They put party before country. They want revenge against Obama. And they do not care about right or wrong in their pursuit of vengeance.

It's starting now... and hopefully there are only a few of these whackos out there. But if they ever gain any steam, they will try to destroy Barack Obama with no concern for America or its people.

There has been a lot of pressure to keep Wall Street stable until the elections.

If you were a Republican CEO... donating millions to McCain... And you knew that he needed to change the subject from the economy to the spectre of communism in order to win, you might do everything in your power to hold the market steady until the election.

That's what they did. Now that they election has passed... the markets are behaving somewhat rationally again.

It's not really all that surprising.

long live our latest leader, you are correct but my guess as a % of wealth you and I lost more than the ultra rich. Two many loopholes. Also the ultra poor will not benefit at all except in higher prices when the companies still have to make earning estimates regardless of the share value.

Jennifer Granholm?
All she can do is blame Bush.

Is Obama going to ask Penny Pritzker about the Subprime Mortgage crisis?

like it or not here I come

Bush is still president for 75 days...

William,

So did I. But, there is a greater picture for the common good of the society. If we are all equally rich or poor, there won't be a poor class of 95% Americans and a rich class of 5% filthy Americans who have imposed up on us such an unfair disadvantage. What can be more effective than tanking the stock market to equalize our wealth? Think about it, if the Dow goes to 0, there won't be a rich Buffet - he will be one of us.

Long Live our Greatest Leader.

Obama WIns!!!! markets down 1000points as investors show "NO CONFIDENCE" in Obama
-----------------------------
This does not have anything to do with Obama being elected. Specialist have said for 2 months now that we have seen nothing yet. You think today is bad just wait, they said the next 3 to 6 months are going to kick us hard, but hay what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger as a country.

Tano, are you from another world or something. The fall of the stock market has killed me and thousands of other middle class citizens. If you do not understand that don't post.
