Wall Street Sure Loved Obama's Speech

[ABM]

Not.

 

[PapaG]

PASS THE FRICKING BILL ALREADY!!!

Wait, there is no bill?

Oh well...

Assuming the European debt crisis had no impact on the market today, you might be right. But that's a pretty big assumption.

Europe's been in a debt crisis for months. What we heard last night was PASS THIS BILL!!!. Problem is, there is no bill yet to pass.

I wonder if you realize how stupid you make SlyPokerDog look by saying stuff like that.

The president yells PASS THIS BILL 17 times in a speech to a joint session of Congress when there is no bill to pass, and I'm the one who looks stupid.

Mmmmkay.

Yes. i'm glad we're clear about things.

So, has the CBO scored this non-existent bill yet?

They have to pass the bill to find out what's in it.

?? The topic of the thread is wall street's reaction to the speech. It's pretty simplistic to say that the market was solely impacted by the speech. In fact, finance news articles seem to be pointing to Europe, not a reaction to the speech.

You're the one riding the "no bill" pony -- that's not where this thread started.

 

[mobes23]

This.

No, that.

 

[PapaG]

Somebody's touchy today. Here's an idea. Europe is in trouble because of overspending, and our genius President decides the best way to turn around our own economy is by ... wait for it ... MORE SPENDING!

Clown Town

There are more than just two factors for today's market showing. However, the one big new stinky turd dropped into the bowl came out of the mouth of President PASSTHISBILL last night.

Brilliant idea. More spending, that's what we need!

Causation - who knows? Correlation - definitely.

If the market was excited about the prospect of the jobs bill proposal working, you'd think our markets would get a bump. Just sayin'

Unless there is other news out there that overrides any feelings about the job bill proposal:


Word of the resignation of Stark, the top economist at the ECB, came shortly after U.S. markets opened. He was an advocate for higher interest rates, and published reports said he left because he opposed the bank's extensive purchases of debt issued by European countries.

One of European Central Bank officials, he resigned with almost three years before the end of his term in 2014, revealing deep disagreement over how to solve economic problems in Europe.

Traders fear that one of the continent's heavily indebted economies could default, an event that would ripple through the global banking system and make it difficult for other European countries to borrow money.


There might be something else that influenced today's market other than the Obama speech.

there's also two old sayings that come to mind.

Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you.

PASS THE BILL!!!

When your only retort is the "idiot" card, you know your idol Barry is having a bad day.

when your only retort is to repeat the talking point "Pass the bill", you fail to realize that you are trivializing the situation and you are presenting poor form in the process.

The President yelling PASS THIS BILL 17ish times didn't trivialize the situation?

What bill? It was a disastrous speech, and there is a reason nobody on the networks are talking about it today.

Meanwhile, you just keep calling people stupidheads and dumb-dumbs. That's adding a lot to the debate, isn't it?

you repeating it over and over as though you're proving a point is what trivializes it. but go ahead, keep thinking you're making a good point. Before too long you'll probably either stop posting in the thread because you realize you look foolish, or you'll create some controversy or trumped up thing, or forget about the whole thing.

you repeating him saying it doesn't do what you think it does. It doesn't prove you're right, it just proves that you think you're mocking how "liberals" did similar stuff during bush's presidency (you know, "blame bush!").

It must be incredibly tiring to be in character as often as you are.

It's meant to be trivialized. His "bill" has zero chance of being passed, and everybody knows it. So, he was screaming "PASS THE BILL" for effect, which clearly trivializes his own speech.

Maybe he needs new speechwriters, because that was painful to watch. I was actually embarrassed for him. I think he was the only person in the joint session who believed the bullshit coming off of his teleprompter.

It wasn't a serious speech. Had he truly wanted to get something passed, he would have accepted the inviation of Boehner and even Harry Reid to discuss proposals prior to the speech.

I didn't trivialized it; it was a trivial to begin with, and a waste of time.

Nice.

If his plan was so important he wouldn't postpone it to go golfing.

I guess wallstreet is over the Obama's speech . . . about time.
