Oh that's precious Kirkland you've even gone into the future and gotten 2013's numbers as well.

But I'm certain Obama will have some good news in these 4 years, I mean it's not like he'll go back to blaming Bush again


And once again why defend Obama? You said "It doesn't matter who gets elected" or were you just hedging your bets?
No, that's up to today.

And the markets are off by a point or two because of a bunch of bad economic news in europe and the fact that now the prez -- whoever got elected last night -- has to deal with a big budget problem before the end of the year.

NEW YORK, Nov 7 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks dropped on Wednesday as investors renewed their focus on a looming fiscal showdown in Congress after the re-election of President Barack Obama, and comments by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi fed concern about Europe's debt crisis....

"The election is over, nothing changed. It was fun, but it's kind of like a roller coaster - you just end up where you started but there was lots of excitement in the middle of it," said Ron Florance, managing director of investment strategy for Wells Fargo Private Bank based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

"We are now squarely focused on what are you going to do about the fiscal cliff and how is Europe going to resolve this (debt crisis) problem, those two problems haven't gone away."


And I'm "defending Obama" because you're wrong about why the markets have dropped. When there's an agreement on US budget issues and europe issues yet another plan to kick the can down the road then markets will jump a few points but the Drudge Report won't tell you about that. Again, it's another irrelevance. If you want to know what the markets think of Kenyan socialism you need to look at things over a slightly longer period than five minutes. Try looking at the graph I posted.
