Market Reaction: Dow Dropped 500 points (over 5%) on Obama's Election

Filed by Michael Henchard.

Investors voted with their feet today as fear spread that the Barack Hussein Obama regime will raise taxes and increase spending over and above the already high baseline established under putative Republican George W. Bush.

With control of all levers of the federal government, the Democrats are poised to carry out some shock and awe of their own. They will shock the economy by raising taxes and awe economists with such reckless hijinxes.

WEEKEND SHOCK: HILLARY ENDORSES ROMNEY!!!!!!

Mitt Romney has been making a pitch for bipartisanship in the closing days of the race, and this morning rolled out an endorsement from Hillary Clinton's former Senate state director, Gigi Georges:
“For most of my life, I’ve been an active Democrat. I am proud to have worked for President Bill Clinton and then-Senator Hillary Clinton, and, during that time, I saw firsthand what can be accomplished by strong, bipartisan leadership. I know what it means to work across the aisle on issues that are important to the American people. And that’s why I am supporting Mitt Romney. Governor Romney has a plan to restore the prosperity this country deserves and expects. He will work with people of good will no matter what their party, and he will pursue the policies that are in the best interest of our country, no matter who proposes them. That’s what President Obama promised to do four years ago. But like so many of his promises, bipartisan cooperation is just another one he has broken. We can’t have four more years of failed policies and two parties that can’t work together. We need the change Mitt Romney is offering.”
For people in New York politics, Georges, who now lives in Boston, is a familiar name and face - she was also the executive director of the state Democracy Party when Clinton was in office. Romney's been talking up Hillary Clinton for months on and off on the trail, and the final effort to appeal to some of her voters in places like Ohio has continued.
(Also on POLITICO: Hillary doesn't rule out staying on)

"Bronco Bamma" Made Toddler Cry




In the immortal words of Rodney King, can't we all get along?  Of course, for the sake of the children...

Flash: Romney Leads in Ohio, Florida, and PA!!

Lies, Damned Lies, and Cooked Numbers

So the O administration/campaign must be really desperate.  Detrimental data  from their internal polls led them to cook the numbers on today's Bureau of Labor Statistics report.  The unemployment number mysteriously dropped below 8% -- literally overnight. Chicago-style politics at work.

We don't know which is sadder -- that they cooked the numbers or that they expected us to believe them!

FR Catapulted Cain's Campaign

On 9/17/11, this Fairbank Report featured a Herman Caine video; six weeks later, Mr. Caine, a virtual unknown back in September, now tops the polls for the Republican Party's nomination for President of the United States.  The Power of You!
