GF: Great to have a drive by comment from you as you have been so quiet over the last 2 months as the Messiah has made one mistake after another. I am happy to see the market go up and if BO were responsible I would give him credit. I do think part of the uptick was due to the housing numbers but I also think the plan to buy toxic assets helped as well, as much as I oppose the program. I have read a number of economists over the last several months that have blasted the administrations (Bush and BO) for TARP, the stimulus-porkulus and the recent budget and have proposed this very step instead of all the crap. I suspect this hasn't gone unnoticed with the investor class and institutional investors and contributed to the uptick.

Unfortunately, his tax and spend programs and proposals to increase the size, scope, cost and intrusiveness of the federal government will in the long run grasp defeat from the jaws of victory. Welcome back, even if for a drive-by comment! I would say Hound has held up your end of the discussion but she is not nearly as entertaining.
