Almost all the "questions" at Gibbs news conference blame Obama for the stock

market as if its fall started in January.

1. And 'why isn't it fixed yet?' is another recurring theme. Asshats. n/t

2. The Revenge of Wall Street....

Time for our President to have another fireside chat with the people.

3. So far he's gotten about 10 questions about Obama's comment on buying stocks today.

Unbelievable. All he said, when asked about how badly the market is doing, was something like, "Now might be a good time to buy."

4. Gibbs isn't handling it well, either

He may be the nicest guy in the world, but he's not fast on his feet, dribbles out platitudes between a torrent of 'uh...uh....uh' and when he's nervous (which is always) he has a bizarre little giggle. Usually I'd say let him grow into his job, but he's so terrible in articulating policy on the EASY stuff that I think he's hopeless.

6. He could have ended the stream of questions about the market with a more

firm, clear answer.

5. I love how they treat the market like a living breathing animal.

It's just insane how these guys cover the market. You could pick a child off the street to write the headlines for market moves.

I suppose since the public is generally behind Obama right now the only other living thing that doesn't like him is the "market". I suppose billion dollar Hedge Funds going down daily, sales and growth numbers cratering (thus increasing P/E ratios - making stocks too expensive), and all these margin calls have nothing to do with the market cratering down to true value. It's got to be Obama right. :eyes:

7. Not to mention the performance of the companies who stock has fallen.

9. Of course they would be. How much money do those reporters make?
