‘It’s true that “If the Obama budget is adopted in full, federal borrowing will top $18 trillion by 2020.” What the editorial fails to say is what will happen to federal borrowing if Obama’s budget is not adopted. We are supposed to think that the debt will be lower, but it won’t. It would be higher.’

Obama did inherit a mess, so lets allow him to clean it up, shall we?

Now is the time to buy more because you know in the long run you will see that historic 9 percent rate of return, maybe even more. Too bad I think the stock market is a ponzi scheme, I'm going to be poor with my 1 percent taxable savings account. You should be thanking Obama for putting the stock market on sale.

I'm so bummed out with the fall in the market this week. I didn't want to watch the speech so I lifted my spirits instead watching a hilarious impression of Obama on Jay Leno and some other jokes about the broadcast. love your title!
