"The stock market is sort of like a tracking poll in politics. It bobs up and down day-to-day," Obama said. "And if you spend all your time worrying about that, then you're probably going to get the long-term strategy wrong."
Later, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the American people understand the economy is not going to improve suddenly and that "we've been heading in this direction in a trend line for quite some time."

Since the Democrats took over Congress in January 2007, the Dow has lost 46% of its value — 5,699.86 points — with 1,452.38 of that decline coming in the mere month and a half since President Obama’s inauguration.
From Sean Hannity on Fox News last night:
If we go back to May 6th when it was apparent that he was going to probably be the Democratic nominee the stock market was over 13000, and if we go to October just before the election, the polls show that he had a pretty commanding lead over John McCain, the stock market was, what, around the 11000 plus mark.
On Nov. 4, after Barack Obama clinched the White House, the market closed at 9,625.28.
Now where are we and where are we going?
I think I would like to get out here and walk the rest of the way if you don’t mind.

PS, Type Obama in Word and then hit spell check and see what it gives you.:D
