media comments on Faux "Office of the Pres Elect"

[HAL 9000 96]

Kaydee will, I predict, always find something petty to whine about even after his trivial assessment of the transition during harsh economic times is over to a Presidency during harsh economic times.

Care? Character, character, character.........many of us "regular Joe's" are held to a higher standard than the "One".....

lol.

You'd be taken more seriously if your avatar wasn't so douchy. Well, probably not, but it is pretty douchy. Just sayin'.

Even Karl Rove isn't so harsh on Obama as Kaydee. Only this morning he urged everyone to support the Obama presidency which I thought somewhat odd but hey.

There is a big difference though between holding Obama accountable for his election to the office of President and bitching and whining about stupid stuff because you don't like how the election turned out. The former is to be applauded, the latter to be, well, laughed at

Needless to say, Kaydee is of course, merely yanking the collective 'librul' chain.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I dunno about the "collective liberal chain" I think he's yanking his own chain.

Pointless bitching about petty irrelevancies aside - his choice of avatar says it all really. It tells you all you need to know about him - to not take him (even remotely) seriously.

The irony is Bush was supposed to be such a fool and surrounded by crooks but so far Obama stuck with the Bush playbook and selected some Bush personnel and Clinton retreads. There may be hope but not much change. While it might not be fair to judge Obama before he's taken office, the markets have spoken and its a big no confidence vote in Obamaism- so far.

What kind of a dodgy interpretation is that then? Oh, it's Alien, my expectations of fuzzy logic have not been disappointed.

Heh. That's a pretty creative interpretation, especially since the dude hasn't even been sworn in yet. Could it be that the markets have spoken because...the freaking economy is in the tank?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

There isn't really any "irony" here. This is a non-story.

Most people consider a presidential election a verdict of sorts either of the guy leaving or the new president. At the same time, markets do react based on what people are collectively thinking and where they put their money for the future. At the very least, Obama hasn't inspired hope that his changes will make much of a difference. Notice that there's been very little talk from Obama on his economic strategy beyond bigger bailouts to dwarf the Bush bailouts- some change.

Psst... quit making sense.

So the fact that the markets have been going up and down like a w hores chuff is predominantly a "verdict" on Obama's competency and has nothing to do with volatile market conditions.

That is indeed a creative interpretation of what's going on. Of course it probably makes sense to someone who seriously thinks that the entire country revolves around what people think of Barack Obama. Everyone else probably thinks that's a little silly...

I see. Obama is so incompetent that he doesn't even need to be the President yet to ruin the markets. There can be absolutely no other explanation as to why the markets are going down...not even the FREAKING ECONOMY IS IN THE TANK. That would just be crazy talk.

[HAL 9000 96]

So all this babble on Obama being responsible for the latest round of market flip flops is not attributable to his being a socialist then.

Crazy? Makes total sense to me

Perhaps someone needs to read the article again and remind themselves who is currently holding the keys to the White House and the "Doomsday" button...
