OMG! The market is screwn! It's all Obama's fault! Companies are worried they'll be taxed to
death1!11!11

Who is this blonde idiot on with Contessa Brewer? She appears to be someone from CNBC trying to crank up the idea that the stock market is the whole of the economy rather than just an index. That the Santelli frothers are doomed... I say, doomed... to lives of penury and homelessness.

Another thread suggested we take the time to twitter these people while they are on and call them on their BS and hysterical catapulting of corporate propaganda. They don't want to be taxed more and they don't want to maybe suffer the same stagnation or lower wages that us among the rabble have suffered for so long. Yes, the economy stinks but I'm sick of the handwringers and whining talking heads. I find myself thinking that we may end up homeless if something doesn't turn around within the next year. It scares me, but we need to get this ship turned around.


I think we need to twitter with mockery and make facts known such as the real story on the Obama tax plan, for starters. Then we need to do some serious butt kicking of our representatives and particularly our senators. More importantly, we need to find stuff in our community to DO to help build them up again.

Over and out.

1. I heard her, and she's FOS! Amazing the Brit who was responding
to her managed to keep his cool and tactfully tell her she was WRONG! I don't think businesses are afraid of being taxed to death. They simply can't see how they are going to sell their products in such an economy. That pertains to every business from the one man show all the way up to the largest businesses in the World. No sales, no customers, o profit! It's pretty simply stuff.

She makes Contessa look brilliant by comparison.

3. This is 'money hour' they do every day at 2...they usually have
Contessa and guests from CNBC. It's dreadful...that's when I turn to the Daily Show and Colbert Report reruns.

5. The Pundits are laughable at times. The Market is going to sputter
at low levels for time to come. Do they not realize Wall
Street had become a grand casino where the gamblers were betting
on "bundles of paper"--totally ignoring what was happening on
Main Street. Wall Street could function only so long this way.
The illness spread all around the world. The World is in trouble.

Wall Street is considering lots of data--not just what the Obama
is doing.

Until Main Street can do the two step with Wall Street,when serious
and real measurements of Productivity can be ascertained, Wall Street
does not want to just gamble any longer.


It has taken years for our economy to essentially collapse. It will
take time to turn it around.

How can anyone trust the judgment of Wall Street after their Major
Screw Up. The Pundits sound so empty--Wall Street is upset with
Obama. I say Get a Grip---

7. heh
I just looked at Politico (gag) and they have the headlines "Obama creeping out the DOW?" and "Geitner vs the Dow". Hmmm, couldn't possibly have anything to do with the shitty economic numbers we get every day.

8. Yeah CNN just had some idiot who is suppose to be a financial analyst to answer emails
And the bozo said there is a 100% chance what the President is doing is going to make it worse. Unreal, they put people like this on TV, who have an agenda. He is suppose to be giving people advice, answering their emails and this is what he is saying.

There is a War against Obama. People need to see it.

11. CNN is pornography.
As in, they have absolutely no redeeming qualities. Any outfit that gives loons like Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs a soapbox, are beyond redemption.

9. And the truth is coming out
And big corps will start investing in labor again in this country. And not offshore over here if nothing more than driving wages down here.
