This is a good video, and also sounds like my thinking... markets are dropping in preparation for an Obama presidency:

I had to laugh, though... it's not like CEOs aren't moving their jobs offshore now anyway!

Considering the huge gap between CEO and hard-working Joe, I don't have much sympathy if a CEO is taxed and can't afford his 4th yacht.

I agree with that!

I wonder how the whole "job creation" argument would play out?

Who knows? Obama could be the Antichrist.

Some who were hugely popular prior to their election triumph shat the bed in power - Thatcher (made millions unemployed), Kennedy (started Vietnam), Blair (Iraq). Hopefully Obama will be the absolute saint people think he is, but how can a man who thinks there are "57 or 58 states - just one more to go" be anything other than petrifying?

What would that make Bush? The Prophet of Doom? George the Baptist? Bedubyazabub?

What is this? An Obama gaffe? Did you confuse him with Palin? Or is he really talking about the 50 states plus the voters from other territories?

He may have had John Kerry's wife on his mind "57 Varieties".
