Ramen Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 On the top of the page is a graph of the stock market, followed by this headline:"Stocks Fight Back!..."That headline links to the following article:"Stocks Plunge on Recession Fears"http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080122/wall_street.html?.v=13So Drudge wrote a headline titled "Stocks Fight Back!" when the article being linked ACTUALLY notes that the stock market is plunging. Also check out the graph...it obviously shows that stocks started down and have not made it back up to Friday's level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The economy is "lookin' GREAT", after all, and all the gloom and doom talk is just part of the liberal drive-by media trying to create a fake recession to make Bush look bad. :w00t::w00t::w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self Made Soul Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 octoslash (1/22/2008)What the f##K is wrong with you people?Don't you see Octo? If the stock market goes up then it means that Bush is the greatest president ever! If the stock market goes down, then that means we will all be sent to go collect our welfare checks bocause Bush is the worst president in history. To directly answer your question, they're stupid.

Ramen Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 gritzblitz56 (1/22/2008)Actually, that graph does show that the Dow is up from this morning's opening plunge.Now it does. The graph I linked above is updated each minute, which means you're seeing the stock market right now.Compare the time of my post to the point on the graph corresponding to that time. The market was still well below what it was on Friday. Hardly a "stocks fight back" headline.Also, the headline on the Yahoo page changed from what it was this morning to the current headline. Again, the headline on Drudge told a story much different from the headline on the Yahoo page at the time I posted all of this.But yeah, this thread looks kind of silly in hindsight.

Ramen Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 snake (1/22/2008)I don't think a President has the ability to directly influence the markets although policies, tax cuts spur business and Govt. decisions reflect on foreign aid and the will for companys to risk capital. But all in all the economies are Global and the roots run deep. When the dollar is weak foreign money pours in.snake (12/6/2007)Home ownership is up Incredibly in the last 7 years, and I salute Bush and anyone else responsible for our growing economy.Hmmmm...Snake backs himself into a corner again.

robpanama Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Not that I care about his legacy but if youd spent 7 years cheering for failure in Iraq, its been a disappointing last 9 months. If that described you, then maybe its a good thing that the economy has taken a downturn. The blame for that failure would ultimately be placed on the POTUS, which is worth any amount of suffering.

He does not have a tangible impact on the day to day rise and fall of the stock market.Your cheerleading for the stock market isnt any better or worse than snake's cheerleading for snowstorms.

Ramen, after 7 years of Bush I think most of the country is aware that he is the missing link between human and ape evolution, so we really don't need you reminding us about his every fault. Change is on the horizon, so it's time to look to how to make the country better with our new president and staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a statement about The Drudge Report. It turned (was hijacked?) into a discussion about the economy and the stock market, but that's not why I started the thread.As for the other threads about the economy, those also had less to do with Bush than it did with certain partisan hacks that blindly spouted about how the economy was GREAT.
