So bottom line is that you were not trying to have a subjective conversation regarding the facts and you are just trying to be rhetorical.
You keep blaming or shall I say "reaching" to blame Obama when the general consensus is that the current tiny drop was due to the EU cutting growth from 1.7% to just 0.8% for 2013 (On the night of the election) combined with the overwhelming (non-partisan) fear that Washington, as a whole, was going to have a hard time coming together on the fiscal cliff issue.
I never dismissed Europe's increasing recession. I was simply addressing the domestic factors in play. It is still early in his 2nd term so I will gladly take a wait and see approach but I will not look the other way to the potentially domestic cliffs he has helped create.
How/where are you invested?
My portfolio is booming right now.
Insurance and telcom.
The day after the election was the worst day for the market this year. Guess when the worst day after an election was? Not this election but alas in 2008 the day after Obama was elected the first time. Obama's elections do not rally the markets sir.
