Remember 4 years ago?

4 years ago when the American people elected Bush for his second term and on Nov 5th the stock market started dropping.

It seemed it was all over the MSM that it was because people were scared of Bush.


Now then, why is it dropping when Obama is elected? Shouldn't it be only going up?


Funny how the media isn't saying anything this time around....

 

Most of the media is a load of bullcrap. They serve their own mysterious and sometimes quite obvious agenda.

 

Ask Mia, he knows all about focusing on stock market drops after a president is elected

 

No, MIA was making the same point I was, I read his post.

I remember how the media was blaming Bush for the big drops, saying it was confirmation that people are scared of him and that he stole the election, etc...

No word on how Obama caused these drops yet though, still waiting....

This is the kind of stuff that shows how the media is so biased, like Tom Brokaw and his "everyone is emotional right now" comment he made election night. I was thinking that he is probably half right, so many made emotional decisions and are run by their emotions. That is a big problem with people today, they don't keep their emotions in check. Now I am mixing too many points, hopefully you get the main one.

 

Yeah good thing we have Fox News.... hey wait a minute, they're not blaming Barack either....

Crap, your theory was so sound

 

What does foxnews have to do with my theory? They are not saying anything either which is exactly what I am refering too. Please tell me you understand the point???

 

I do. You think the media is all biased (apparently including Fox News) and project a double standard in favor of Obama in this case because they brought up how the DOW dropped when Bush got elected and not now.

My point, if both the liberal and conservative media have realized the stock markets will rise and fall and decided it's a non-issue, then maybe this it's a non-issue? I'm just saying, maybe.

Perhaps the news organizations had an an epiphany and realized that hey, we're in a recession and economic crisis. So alluding to this drop having anything to do with Barack may be seen as silly considering more obvious causes?

These are just theories here.

 

It's not a secret that the media loves Obama.

 

Apparently so does the majority of America across all demographics.

 

The stock market is almost always going to drop the day after a president is elected. Especially in a society that is almost split 50/50. 50% of the people are scared/nervous about the new guy in town. They start pulling money out because they are nervous. Then the other 50% sees stocks starting to drop, so they pull out. In my opinion, election day and the few days right after are the best days to buy in! Buy low, sell high.

 

The whole world does. But it's the media's job to stifle their personal biases and they've done a terrible job. They're not even pretending anymore.

 

the election is only one of many factors that affects the stock market. job numbers were really bad...

 

I cant believe that anyone is even thinking about this as an important event. The stock market will go up or down because of financial times. Talk to me about this in 4 or 8 years when we dont have 2 puppet candidates running against each other and we have a candidate that isnt serving only the special interest groups that are the reasons why they have become president. The election is one big joke, and im happy to say that i didnt vote for either of these puppets. Both parties are a joke and dont resemble what the original democratic and republican parties are supposed to stand for.

 

I find it funny how so many pretend like they don't get it.

The media was on a frenzy 4 years ago and blamed Bush for a drop in the markets the day after and this time around they are not blaming the next president for the drop. Double standards anyone?

Oh well, can't expect the "sheep" to admit much of anything since they are not allowed to think for themselves anyways.

(You guys make this too much fun. sheep.. baaa baaa)

 

Don't forget that 4 years ago Bush was the incumbent, Obama is not in the White House for another two months!

And the biggest worry above everything else is that Bush is still the President until that time.

 

Apparently so does the majority of Americans. After all he IS the new president elect.

 

Too slow.
.................

A quick archival search from a true commie rag, the New York Times, with date range of 11/05/04-11/06/04 and search string "Bush" yields...nothing, on Bush and the markets. Some stuff on what Bush wanted to accomplish with his second term, etc. - but nothing on Bush, and the markets. Chicago Sun-Times archival search yielded...nothing, as well. I'd love to see a source showing (a) the stock market dove, after 11/04/04; and (b), the "MSM" trashed Bush because of it. Based on past experience, not hopeful debunked will be able to provide a source, but if anyone else has something in this vein, I'm all eyes.

Somehow, tonight is a night of interesting impressions, it seems.

 

It is ironic, and certainly something is not right in the lefts assertions. CNN yesterday blamed the HUGE two day in a row drop on low consumer confidence and an impending recession.

The reality here folks is, smart people are selling off stocks now before Bungling Barry raises the capital gains tax.

Its about the threat of higher taxes.

 

It's the journalist job to be non bias, not the media...
