Bush did what he did with 9/11 but went after the wrong guys due to their power and affiliation and his ego!
They had better get the dollar under control - cuz I wanna go see Gabby and I need Euros.
Defensive stocks aren't even safe anymore - don't listen to Cramer he recommends stocks and then they tank - Altria, Healtcare are no safe haven - capital preservation is all we have and due to all the jaggoffs who bought huge houses to keep up with their office buddies - interest rate cuts punish savers and interest earnings won't keep up with inflation - so it is a lose lose. The only way to get in front of this is to go FHA now that the levels have been increased and let someone's loss be ur gain.
"the only thing worse than inflation is anticipated inflation." - Me and others I am sure.
Altho. now that everyone is screaming the sky is falling we are probably close to the end. Herd mentality.
The times make the president - we'll see who is next. They all can be bought and they all come from Ivy School (ex Ford)...only the names have changed.

I'd think more like 35%.

How about the current congressional approval rating, which by the way is lower than the Presidents (like 14 or so)! Remember that the economy didn't start a downturn until the democrats regained the house and senate. Although the Republicans did not control spending like they ordinarily would, the economy was not in bad shape at all. Realize that congress runs the country, not the President.

I will say that the republicans didn't juggle things properly over the last eight years. But I think the roots for getting us into this mess go beyond politics, Enron and global terror - and many presidents of the past - both democrats and republicans - didn't take the signs of terror abroad as carefully as they should.
