So, Hows That Push Towards Socialism Working Out?

Published on March 3, 2009 By Island Dog In Politics

So with just over a month of Obama officially being President, and since elected in November, the stock market has lost well over 2000 points (didn't hear much in the media about that), they have pushed a trillion dollar "stimulus" plan, promised "free" healthcare and college to everyone, and higher taxes.

Yesterday, the markets closed under 7000 and I would imagine we will see more of a drop today. So, how is that socialism working out for you so far?

In the last month it's lost ~1200 - are you including time that bush was president to get your figure?

If you read what he wrote- he said: "and since elected in November, the stock market has lost well over 2000 points "

Comrade ID, you are not assimilating to the new order properly, you may need to go to the re-education camp if your attitude does not improve. Please stare into your commemorative Obama plate (or coin) and chant "Yes we can" until you can speak no more.

+1 karma right there

KarmaGirl... you too

You just proved her point even more, 600 points after he was elected and 1200 in his first month. But failure is a good thing if a Democrat is doing it right? It's amazing how Democrats are quick to forgive their own. Sounds like one of those "my son is innocent" stories.

Aeortar, is refering to post number 6. Every time you see the phrase "are you" Aeortar is saying to now change it to "you are." I think to make the point that Aeortar is not longer asking the question (are you) but now implying the accuasational form with "you are."

Does that help Charles?

Lord oh mighty, how did you ever figure that out? I had to read it 3 times after I read your post to get it. Talk about confusing when not knowing exactly what they are trying to say.

That would have been easier to understand.
