But Ryan, the media will never say anything bad about Obama because of their massive liberal bias.

Massive liberal bias notwithstanding, they still have a product that needs selling. Rosy Obama coverage, of which I expect plenty, will only get them so far.

Yeah, but, even if they do say bad things about Obama, it'll be much less than they would say about a Republican president in the same situation, right? Because of their massive liberal bias?

When will the glow start to fade? Have you looked at the stock markets? The fade is now. 800 points down in two days. It's getting to the point where even Democrats will have trouble ignoring it.

Bubba, FTW!

I mean, why isn't the MSM reporting on the market crisis caused by Obama's election? The economy was fine before he was appointed president day before yesterday. And the election results? Voter fraud city.

Stolen election, fake president, and the markets are crashing. No wonder all the wetbacks are going back to Mexico.

Ryan,

You have your very own Peev!

Where do I not get one?

Well, LF, first you'd have to have a blog. Then it'd have to be worth my time to troll it which, frankly, I doubt it would be.

I've been trolling Ryan's blog for 6 years, and he loves it.

Joshua, the past two days reverse a few weeks of relative stability. Sorry, you get to hang this one on your guy, especially as he and Pelosi have promised to move quickly on a very anti-business agenda.

Is it permanent? I hope not, but if he keeps channeling Jimmy Carter, it will last a while.

It's true. Joshua and I have been calling each other names for years. He pops in every once in awhile to bait me into one of our classic comment wars. For those of you choosing to mix it up with him, be warned, he's actually kinda formidable. He's no Peev. Joshua actually knows things.

And Joshua? I'm not snapping the bait this time. We've gone through these hoops before. You know my position on Media bias. As for the stock market dive, I personally don't attribute it to the election. Things were pretty damned dire throughout October. There are economic issues playing out here far deeper than who was elected Tuesday night.

the past two days reverse a few weeks of relative stability. Sorry, you get to hang this one on your guy, especially as he and Pelosi have promised to move quickly on a very anti-business agenda.

Uh, no.

First of all, the past two days reverse one week of relative stability. One week -- not "a few". And that week of stability was brought about through an extremely ill-advised rate cut from the Fed.

Second of all, you do realize that George W. Bush is still president, right? So again, no, we don't really get to hang this on "my guy."

Third of all, how exactly is the Democratic platform "anti-business"? The American consumer has been living on credit for 15 years. The market fundamentals are a trainwreck. Stocks are heavily inflated and massively leveraged. What's required at this point is a market correction -- exactly the sort those free-market Republicans are always talking about -- and a re-investment in domestic infrastructure. That second part means taxing rich people and using the money to rebuild our roads and bridges, telecom, and transit. That means more workers on the job and those people are, in turn, consumers. And that means corporations will be able to sell goods to people who can buy goods instead of just charging them.

It worked when Roosevelt did it, it'll work this time. The Republican plan has been an abject failure.

Um yeah, Bush is still the President even if everyone wants to forget that. Obama doesn't get sworn in until January so maybe you should stow the torches and pitchforks until he's actually the one making the decisions.

And Joshua, Fox News' parrots have blamed Obama for the downturn, regardless of the facts that it has nothing to do with him.

What I really enjoy are the dumbasses clamoring all for Palin in 2012. She's an ignoramus, folks, show's over, let her return to her rape state in peace.

Screw that jazz. If they can blame Bush for _hurricanes_ I say we can blame Obama for shit that happens before he even takes office.
