CNBC just said that the bond traders were chanting anti-Bush things
in the pits at the CBOT when the jobs report was released. The reporter did not say what they were chanting, just that the chants were not favorable to the "current administration." This is a newsworthy event, I hope that someone has tape of it and will show it.

7. It was gut wrenching to watch the numbers tick down and down
and the red getting redder.

Yes, very disturbing.

5. When the financial sector turns *, it's a bad, bad day in the WH.
:wow:

Remember those 200 business leaders that endorsed Kerry earlier this week?

Something tells me that their ranks will soon increase.

11. Yup, by the end of his term, EVERYONE is going to hate shrub
Wish I could find that astrological prediction from when he took office, saying how his whole term will go. Ups and downs, then a big downward spiral, with EVERYONE who ever liked him hating him.

That's a big deal for a sensitive moonchild like him----he will implode!

12. Wouldn't it be great to see him homeless and requesting...
welfare, and health care in say 3 years? A true day of celebration that would be.

13. Article from CNBC website: Stocks sink on dismal jobs report
http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/CNBCTV/Articles/Dispatches/P91328.asp

Stocks sink on dismal jobs report
The economy creates just 32,000 jobs in July. Oil bounces around above $44 on conflicting Yukos accounts. MCI jumps on its surprise dividend announcement.

Stocks fell sharply at the open after the government said job creation in July was much weaker than expected. Investors sold equities on concerns that the labor market recovery is in serious trouble.
<snip>
“It’s a disaster all around if you think about it,” Jack Bouroudjian, principal at Brewer Investment, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” In addition, July was a five-week reporting period, so the "whisper number" expectation projected that the economy had created 300,000 new jobs, Bouroudjian said.
--------

Did these idiots really think that trickle-down economics is working? That tax cuts for people who already have more money than they could ever spend would increase their spending? Give me a fat tax cut and I'll spend it all. Instead, I had to pay more taxes than ever before with an income of under $20,000 a year. Those idiots shouldn't be put in charge of investments and money if they believe that bullshit coming from this White House.

Doo-Doo Economics That's what it is.
