Is that the wager on Obama's getting tough stance on the banks?
I'd hope it's at least a bit more than that.
But did you see CNBC and Cramer and Barney Frank, all back-pedaling over what Obama said?
And don't think the banks weren't dumping stocks either, in their hysterical hissy fit.
Bo wanted to get rid of "The buck stops here" so he changed it to "The bark stops here!"
As long as he gets a bump in the polls!
I don't think Obama means business. It's all talk. He needs the economy to improve before elections and attacking the banks is counter productive.
ReplyDeleteThis sell-off seems so orchestrated--the market is really the only leg this economy has going for it right now--and the underpinnings of confidence can be broken fairly easily.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I'd like to see Goldman crack--but I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face.
