Seems like that takes a constitutional amendment. New president can't be inaugerated until January 20. He has capitulated a bit, though, by signing the bill extending unemployement benefits. It's a small thing, but a step in the right direction.
I'd be more concerned about Hank Paulson than George Bush.

Unfortunately there is no point in capitulating now that the damage has been done. I will survive, but I imagine that this decline has been absolutely catastrophic to a large number of people. It has certainly been a life-changer for me.

If you look back a month or two you will see that people have been saying that at Dow 10000, Dow 9000, Dow 8000 and now. They (and by "they", I mean me also unfortunately) have been saying it all along and have been wrong all along.
I wonder how happy that guy is that had the idea to sell everything at Dow 11400 to not risk a financial catastrophe.

Bad idea. I'm not a Bush fan (at least not the presidential kind), but I think 2 months of President Cheney could be the coffin nail for our great (if broke) nation.

Hey Dawg, I'm not sure what you're drinking, but whatever it is I suggest you change to this. It may not turn the market around but it will help you end up every day in the black.

Yes, very good stuff. No, mainly beer during the day and wine at night to put me to bed.
