Ponder = are worried sh*tless about 
From the AP via Yahoo! News:

Stocks fall as investors ponder Obama presidency

The Tiger Beat media strikes again.

Not that it's directly related to stocks but:

US GDP increased 83% under Reagan, 50% under Clinton, and 44% under Dubya. That latter number isn't bad at all for being in a recession since 01/20/01. Considering BHO is the Second Coming, anything less than 200% would be a failure.

Boy, do I sound bitter or what? I better continue to worship Christ and buy a gun to cling to while I still can.

Fallacies or not, Tiger Beat Media Inc.'s strategy of blaming Dubya and Republicans for anything and everything that's wrong and suppressing anything good certainly worked.

old news...

The Yahoo! story changed its headline so I took a screenshot of the story from the Salt Lake Tribune.

It's old news. But is it irrelevant news?

How about lib'rul media bastion The Wall Street Journal

http://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2008/11/05/ ... for-obama/

"He also won 52% of the votes of those earning $200,000 or more. That compares with Sen. John McCain’s 46% showing for the same group."

BA HA HA HA

I guess they'll regret that choice when Obama sends them to reeducation camps, like everyone on Free Republic and Stormfront (basically the same websites) has said.

Being wealthy doesn't necessarily mean you always make good decisions.

First, the wealthy, like many voters, may have placed a higher emphasis on the state of the nation than the state of their wallets

Haha, yeah. People aren't as altruistic as one would think; not with this "where's my entitlement" mentally so many people have.

The best way to help out and be more patriotic if you have the money is philanthropy, not taxes. I have always maintained that if I ever become mega-rich, I will give as much away as possible to worthy causes.

As an aside, I already give more to charity than VP-elect Gaffe Bag Biden. In 2006, he gave $380 on an income of $248K. In 2007, he gave almost $1K on an income $319K. He beat me in total in '07 but not as a percentage but in '06 I beat him outright.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE SENT TO THE OBAMA GULAG, COMRADE!!

That's just rational self-interest, which is an underpinning assumption of economics. That's why the WSJ article pointed it out as the first most likely cause. The rich don't want a crumbling infrastructure and skyrocketing national debt anymore than anyone else.
