Ummmm...I hate to confuse you with FACTS but..the stock market has been in some what of a nose dive all year. I suppose you will now tell me that the market had foreknowledge of who the next president would be since it's spiral began last January.

What a moron! No...your buddy Bill Clinton was the driver of this coming train wreck.

Cheer up! I'm sure you will find something else to falsely accuse Bush on again.

I wasn't aware that Bush was the president. He still hasn't resigned as Govenor of Texas yet. Must be great to hold both offices simultaneously.

If you care to check your facts, I think you will find that Clinton and Gore still hold the office of President and Vice-President and will until January 20th. Also, the stock market has been very erratic for a year.

It is true, however, that some said that should Bush become PRESIDENT- ELECT the markets would begin their ascent.

The markets were up yesterday morning on anticipation of a Greenspan rate cut. He didn't cut. The markets sagged. The good news might be that Bush is now more likely to get some tax cuts enacted. (unless his Dad talks him out of it)

Clueless, aren't you, "@"?

The market looks realistic to me. Unemployment is still extremely low, stocks are still way overpriced. And of course, we don't know what the market might have done had Gore won, so we don't have any basis for comparison. The prospects for getting anybodys programs enacted aren't very good, and this makes the actual winner less important. The economic outlook is dreary, and promises to stay that way for the foreseeable future.

My hat is off to Maestro Greenspan. If I wanted to (1) try to remove all the "irrational exuberance" out of equities before the candidate of my party took office as US President, so that the new President could preside over an even greater economic recovery, yet (2) return the US Federal Reserve sufficiently from the prior tightening bias to be able to institute January cuts in interest rates (to stimulate a recovery) without violating the historical trends of the Reserve, I would be hard-pressed to think of a smoother tactic than the one Greenspan executed. He released leaks to make market analysis believe that US stocks were going to receive a Christmas present, then moved merely to an easing bias (to come within reach of a January move to a rate cut) while leaving current rates unchanged. Rather sharp dealings! Certainly not a move I would have thought of were I in his shoes; I would have opted for a neutral December bias rather than run the risk of having the economy rebound too soon for Bush to take the credit.

Jeesh, Clinton is leaving the country in WORSE shape than he found it - the Mideast is on the brink; energy policy has been non-existent and now many states face infrastructure failures; the markets are sinking; consumer and business debt has soared; morals have plummeted; etc.

@ is an idiot.

Ain't-

Help me out here. If Clinton isn't even partly responsible for the record economy of the last eight years, how can he suddenly be completely responsible for the economic downturn of the last eight months? Either Clinton has had economic impact (and thus deserve credit for the last eight years) or he doesn't (in which case the downturn isn't his fault).
