Why is the stock market dropping lower and lower with Obama?

Joey R asked:


Ever since Obama has been president, the stock market has been dropping lower by any administration that Obama has done. I don’t understand this. Why is this happening. I’m really scared now because I’m afraid America might be heading into a depression.

    Socialism is incompatible with Capitalism…..Obama is making socialism and communism the law of the land.

    They have a lot of faith in him , Failing that is . Besides that, Why would anyone in this country want to achieve and make money, When Obama want’s to spread their wealth around ? God bless.

    It started heading down hill long before President Obama was elected. Too many people taking profits. I do not put any stock in the reliability of wall street.

    Actually, its rooted in the period before the Obama presidency. Every day, new reports surface about the bad economy of 2008, so don’t blame it on the current guy.

    It already is in a depression - “they” just don’t want to admit it.

    Have you been living under a rock for the last 9 months? This is not new. Surely you don’t think that in one month, Obama could possibly fix the terrible mess we are in. The economy didn’t get in this position overnight.

    People vote with their wallets. If Wall Street thought Obama was on to something, the market would be screaming up

    With a country spending as wasteful as Obamas stimulus how safe do you feel in buying stock? I want my money in cash, not long term stocks.

    because the economy is harder to turn around than a giant oil tanker. It had plenty of downward momentum when Obama took office and he has said right along that things are going to get worse before it gets better. If GWB hadn’t turned a blind eye to it a year ago by saying the economy was fundamentally strong, then it might be leveling off by now but that’s not the case so realize that what you’re seeing is going to continue for months to come. It isn’t going to be fast and it isn’t going to be easy but the one thing we can’t allow is for ourselves to succumb to fear. After 7 years we’ve been afraid long enough.
