Um, and who was POTUS 3 months ago...? OTOH, it is still substantially higher
than it was during either Reagan or Clinton. And if you think who is POTUS
(beyond any potential "honeymoon") matters all that much, you don't have the
slightest friggin' clue as to what you are jabbering about...so OK, you have no
clue as to what you are jabbering about, but IAC, the POTUS (and Congress) has,
at best, minimal influence on global economic cycles. Now, if the pull some
nonsense such as the current "stimulus package," they can prolong the downturn,
but I'd bet my hat, ass, and overcoat that you don't have the slightest idea as
to why that might be. But don't feel bad - I can promise you that Limpdick and
the great majority of those in Congress and "government" of any party don't,
either...

as the government's bank rescue plan failed to reassure investors
burned by the 14-month old recession. The Dow Jones industrial
average lost 382 points, or 4.6 percent, according to early tallies.
