1. Banks and Profit Worries Sink Stocks; Dow Slips Below 8,000- AP

"The dawn of the Obama presidency could not shake Wall Street from its dejection over the banking industry's growing problems. After hearing the new president's inaugural address Tuesday, investors went back to unloading stocks, sending the major indexes down more than 3 percent and the Dow Jones industrials down more than 300 points. Traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange paused at times to watch the inauguration ceremony and Obama's remarks, but the transition of power didn't erase investors' intensifying concerns about the struggling economy."

Repukes skew their delusions to satisfy their manic egos. It is going to take time, that is for sure. However, we will recover from this.
