Age may also have come into the equation as George Bush managed to build on middle age voters to win his second term.Acts like this are disgusting, but surely they would be a very small minority - otherwise Obama would not have been voted in. When you combine all races, Obama won 66% of the votes.
43% of white people voted for Obama
69% of Hispanics voted for Obama
63% of Asians voted for Obama
Yet 96% of black people vote for Obama. Why is that?
But I guess "you have to be white to be racist"
The Ethnic Vote Goes to Obama in a Landslide

Profit and earning ratios are starting to get to the point where buying stocks is a potentially good deal if you've got a long-term perspective on it.
I'm absolutely confident that credit's going to be flowing again, that businesses are going to start seeing opportunities for investment, they're going to start hiring again. People are going to be put back to work.
The stock market "bobs up and down day to day", and anyone who worries about the market all day will probably get the long-term strategy wrong.
The banking system has been dealt a heavy blow. It's not surprising that the market is hurting as a consequence.
We dug a very deep hole for ourselves. There were a lot of bad decisions that were made. We are cleaning up that mess. It's going to be sort of full of fits and starts, in terms of getting the mess cleaned up, but it's going to get cleaned up.
You will find what you seek!
Today should see a healthy rebound here if we follow the US, which MUST rise after Obama said yesterday:

Obama is fiddling while the stock market burns. He doesn't care about the stock market - no socialist does. Trillions of dollars of wealth are being destroyed every week. No relief for at least 4 years.

Trouble is, how many people will wait to see it rise before they feel like risk taking? Institutions should be prescient.
Short-term traders will wet their feet but I can't see Mums and Dads getting wet when PE's are past and not future results. And 20% of mortgages are 'under water' now in the US. But it will be interesting to see how much his optimism will influence confidence. He's holding a beacon.
Obama has made all the wrong moves so far. His budget - with over 9,000 earmarks, already breaking his promise to get all earmarks out of legislation.
ie keeping the jobs in citizens hands. http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0209/021309cdpm1.htmSenate and House conferees removed a controversial provision from the economic stimulus package that would have required companies to verify the immigration status of their workers.
http://usconservatives.about.com/b/...ons-and-increases-in-the-stimulus-package.htm USA is paranoid and so it should be now. Always military, always war, always better than.The Republicans are also looking to reduce funding for public transportation by about $3.4 billion and school construction by about $60 billion. Instead, they believe a portion of the money saved through the cuts and reductions would be better spent on job creating activities such as defense operations and recruitment, state and tribal assistance grants and brownfield recovery
He wants to raise taxes in a recession, something so stupid, it boggles the mind.
The market has been straight down since inauguration day. The stock market is forward looking and it does not like what Obama has planned.
Despite what the media claims, the natives are starting to get restless.
i could only bare about 5mins of that video,
and 5mins into this "documentary" (in inverted commas) i still didnt have a clue what the main thesis was, not a good sign
but what i did get was a strong impression of the conspiracy genre, . . . . X files type nonsense
the yanks love a conspiracy, always struggling with reality
