Well... we don't have to worry any more about getting the public to focus on the economy...

They're going to get hit in the forehead with a 2by4 tomorrow and in the coming weeks.


We won't have to tell them "It's the economy, stupid".


All other news is about to become a secondary story.


And this is NOT a good thing for the party in power.


I don't want America to suffer the coming job losses and economic anxieties.... but if that is what it takes to get them to realize what a colossal mistake the Bush presidency was, then so be it.


We tried telling them in 2000 and 2004.... and the Low-information Voters worried more about who they wanted to "have a beer with" instead of the quality of the individuals running the country.


They'll be paying attention now.


The Dow Jones was at 10,535 the day George W. Bush took office.

At the close of business tomorrow, I predict it will be at or below that number.


Negative stock market growth during Bush's 8 years. THAT'S chimpy's legacy.

out now instead of months from now!

Seriously - that's what they're gonna do.

we can easily get down to where we started with bush tomorrow without blowing one of them.

I sure hope I am wrong about the civil war thing.

I can't imagine the devastation that more trickle down voodoo magic would do, what more harm deficit spending would do, what more destructiveness a 12 billion dollar a month war would do if allowed to continue, and what an economic meltdown would result from more tax cuts and the borrowing that those tax cuts require.

In the 2004 campaign during the debates, Bush promised the American people that his tax cuts would manufacture more revenue over the next four years and that the deficit would be cut in half at the end of that time. What a joke.

A lot of people will only pay attention when the issues get personal: losing their job, seeing their savings take a huge hit, having a medical crisis they can't afford.

It probably won't be enough to say these latest collapses are serious; it needs to be put in clear, simple terms how it will affect the LIVs if it keeps up.

Team Obama will take full advantage, I'm sure. :thumbsup: As well they should....
