Congress != Progress
Do you mean like your MessiahRushie blaming the Bush stock market crash five months before Obama took office on Obama??I am still waiting for Chris Matthews and Racheal MaddHamster to blame Sarah Palin on Pearl Harbour and 9/11.

RUSH: Well, here's some truth for you. President Obama campaigned for two years. His policies were announced that long ago. He won the Democrat nomination last August, six months ago.
RUSH: So the economy stopped. The stock market started tanking.
RUSH: To say that Obama has been in office only one month is not accurate from an effect on the world and an effect on the country standpoint. Barack Obama has been the controlling political authority on the economy for six months.
I don't think Rush is correct that Obama alone caused investors to pull money out but I think a Democratic Congress in 2007 combined with either a McCain Presidency or an Obama Presidency did signal more unsustainable government overspending and that caused investors to cash out.
