Conservative Rumblings

The PUMA people have a bone to pick with Obama. Founded by some legitimately disgruntled Hillary supporters in 2008, the Party Unity My Ass brigade is firmly anti-Obama which is good enough for me, especially with some of the stuff they come up with.

On that topic, I wanted to share today’s post about Obama’s lack of concern over the nosediving economy.

We’ve long suspected that Obama is inept and clueless as to how the economy works, but now he has opened his mouth and our suspicions have been confirmed.

President Barack Obama is comparing the stock market to the daily tracking polls used during campaigns, saying that paying too close attention to Wall Street’s “fits and starts” could lead to bad long-term policy.
Obama spoke to reporters Tuesday after meeting in the Oval Office with visiting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Obama said he is not measuring policies against “the day-to-day gyrations of the stock market,” but by whether lending is flowing more freely, businesses are investing and the unemployed are going back to work.

Didn’t the moronic USA voter pool elect Obama because he was going to be this big shining light that would fix the economy? How appropriate is it then that him and his all-star team of tax cheats are sitting around scratching their heads while the market lurches drunkenly toward the edge of the cliff.

I find it funny that he says that he doesn’t care about the market numbers and likens it to opinion polls. Unfortunately, as PUMA Pundit puts it, opinion polls are just polls; the market is real people and their real money.

I’ll bet if the DJIA was up 1800 since inauguration instead of down that same amount, though, Obama would be touting his economic genius. What a bloody hypocrite.
