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? |

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". |
