An insult to nerds everywhere.
Well let me be the first to scream
RRRRAAAACCCIIISSSTTT!!!
But aside from that obama has already said he doesn’t care about the market so….
Now I am outa here to register at babies r us.
sonofdy out!!!
LOL….I do enjoy the pic, gotta admit its funny. Its also funny that this economy is Obama’s fault, is it his fault that Citibanks is nearly insolvent as well as AIG and most of the rest of the banking industry. Is it his fault that GM is also nearly bankrupt.If only he had spread his magic pixie dust and fixed the economy in 6 weeks. IF only we could have left Bush in office, then the Dow would be at 14,000!!!!
Ha!
I closed my citibank account last summer. I watched the line of customers cashing their paychecks and taking the entire sum back in cash. Nobody was depositing funds. Draw your own conclusions.
Cute pic, but the answer is no. It’s been a long time coming.
Bush killed terrorists, Obama kills the economy.
Okay, Michelle, that picture made me laugh. Good one.
Hilarious! I assume he’s reading “Did I do that?” from a TelePrompter. Based on the Politico article linked on Drudge, I suppose the guy can’t even pee without a TelePrompter!
Brilliant. Bravo, bravo!

The moment you say you can fix something that is broken and make it worse, you bet your ass you own the problem.
Sounds like a bumper sticker in the making!

I like the line from Tony Blankley:
Obama lied; the Economy Died
BroBama/Urkel
Thanks, that helps.
MamaBama is playing Lady McBeth at the moment-playing-she ain’t no Lady but just one more Chicago race baiting con artist.
Own a gun? Buy ammo. Don’t own a gun? Get one anyway you can and buy ammo. An SKS is cheap, fire inexpensive ammo and easy to maintain but in short supply where ever Liberty is loved.

Man, I cant wait to pass this around to some of my liberal friends. The shrieking will be priceless.
Yeah, you did, idiot.
One day the Obama story is going to be a great cautionary tale of the dangers of runaway hubris/deification.
Here’s where LA plans to spend its share of porkulus to create 10,000 jobs.
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-stimulus-jobs5-2009mar05,0,3738004.story
Already overstaffed, local government wants to create even more government jobs.
Two observations:
(1) temporary jobs
(2) government jobs
“Private sector jobs” used to mean jobs in the private sector. I guess I just have the wrong dictionary.
Where can I buy a copy of Obama’s New EEEEK!!!onomy Dictionary?
Actually it was his teleprompter buddy who did it.
As usual, LGM missed the point. Just for you, LGM–please look at the red- lined section in the graph! Then follow the link. Class dismissed.
Did Obama Cause the Stock Slide?
I would like to see some pictures of the morons that elected this dolt. I strongly suspect their knuckles drag on the ground.
freemind25: Yes, O did it in just 6 weeks. If you actually studied the market you would realize that the continuous throwing of Taxpayers’ hard earned money at the problem is what is tanking the market.
Citi, GM, AIG and others should have been allowed to die with dignity instead of this slow, prolonged death while propping them up with toothpicks.
O’s Omnibus budget (that he excuses as “last year’s business even though it comes for signature in HIS administration because Bush wouldn’t sign off on the pork), the $3.6 trillion 2009 budget, the lame
tax cheatSecretary of the Treasury, the continued appointment of people who are against everything America stands for, the planned tax increases on business – all these things tell investors to get the h*ll out of the market and quick. Certainly no one is putting new money in.Doesnt Obama see it as the same thing?
Guess he really meant it when he campaigned on ‘no more business as usual’.
A friend sent me an e-mail with a pix of a full sized white pickup with this painted on the tailgate:
One Big Ass Mistake America. I guess this could be a new acronyn for OBAMA.
I don’t think Obama destroying capitalism or the capital markets is any accident…
LOL…finally something to laugh about and be distracted momentarily from the horror.
freemind25: You’re right that O didn’t create the crisis, but his ideas on getting us headed back in the right direction are making things worse. Jim Rogers gave a great interview about this today on WTOP radio in DC. I think it was great because I agree with him that in the long run it would be less painful and less expensive to let failing institutions fail. Bush didn’t understand that either.
Runaway hubris and defecation?
Wait. Deification. Hmmm. About the same thing in this case…

You mental midget.
Collectivism killed the market; a collectivism practiced by Bush and, to a MUCH larger extent, by Obama and his allies in Congress.
It’s no accident that people started pulling their money out of the market the minute it seemed certain that Obama would win (October time frame).
No one in their right mind would invest in a United States run by Obama, Acorn, Pelosi and Reid.
There is no doubt in my mind ‘dear leader Urkel’ and his lackeys are purposely destroying confidence in the stock market, free market, and our currency so they can destroy our constitutional rights at the direction of his puppet master George Soros.
ArizonaNeanderthal the Idaho legislature just passed a resolution in committee going to the floor for a vote to tell the Feds to sit and spin should HR 45 pass into law. I have a really good feeling this resolution is going to pass with most of the residents of this state I know will not submit to this type of tyranny.

Has anyone else noticed, it seems whenever “The Won” makes a pronouncement, on anything, the stock market goes DOWN?

And where was the Dow Jones Average on Election Day?
Perfect graphic of BHO as Erkel. An annoying, arrogant nerd about to get his comeuppance. The average Amercian is much smarter than our trolls give them credit for. Fool me once, shame on you…
A lot of bobbing and weaving going on. They want to distract us from the real issues. While we are concentrating on Rush Limbaugh’s correct place in the republican party and while the market plunges, The Trifecta of Totalitarianism will sneak through very tough gun laws and outlaw nuclear weapons in this country, leaving us defenseless. You heard it here first!
Oh wow! Classic.
*I parked my mutual funds in a safe place back in September before the original sin bailout; Whew!; People with “skin in the game” ,as P-BO would say, are continuing to walk away with their money.
*Then today P-BO says the economy will right itself with the advent of universal healthcare; Money will continue to evaporate from the market; This administration is a continuous pool party, splashing around in the shallow end of the gene pool.
*End the Barack War on the Economy now.
Caption is wrong. Should be
Did I do Dat!?
LMRWAO!
Nothing funny about it. When you’re President of the US and your party has been running Congress for the past two years, the economy is yours. Maybe its time you clowns rolled up your sleeves and tried to fix it instead of spending all your time whining about some guy on the radio.
Dateline: 05 March 2009
The Dow dropped below 5000 today.
In other news, Presdient Obama and his chief of staff, Rahm Emanual, said that Rush Limbaugh is “a big fat idiot, neener neener”.
/NY Times
Yes indeed. See “Community Reinvestment Act” and the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act by Bill Clinton. Don’t forget the wholesale destruction of Fannie and Freddie by the Democrats running and overseeing them.
Hilarious! Obama as Urkel…
Ok, I call a Schlussel on that phrase. I clearly used it on February 26th and got no credit from Blankley!
I had a spirited debate (not with the picture mind you) with one of them today. Of course he kept parroting that it was GWBs fault and that Obama has only been in office 2 months. So the Dow has fallen 2,000 points since he was elected and congress has been controlled by the Dems since 06 and that is GWBs fault?
This was also going on while Rush was on in the background, and he refers to him as Rash. What an idiot. This is the brain dead that we are dealing with.
Oh man, that is hilarious!!!!
I even called my wife to come in here and look at it. She loved it.
I’d love to see this on a bumper sticker!
Being a former citibanker – I will tell you that they way the company has been ran for several years – I’m surprised they have lasted this long!
I did the exact same thing. She’s still laughing!
I gave up and got out of the market completely a month or so ago. Not waiting around for Obama to completely destroy EVERYTHING we’ve saved up for! The losses so far are bad enough….
I’ll never see Obama again in any other way than Urkel!
On the bright side, some gold and gun stocks were up! GLD – up $3 to $91.99 and EGO up $.49 to $8.64.
Both Sturm Ruger and Smith/Wesson were up too!
Guns and Gold!
You guys were still blaming Clinton when things were going south when Bush was around, but now that Obama has been in office for one month, it’s all his fault?
I would imagine Federal and Remington are doing pretty good these days as well.
I nominate it for the best and funniest as well as most appropriate PhotoShop if THE DECADE!!
OMG…that has got to be the funniest dang thing I have seen in forever…and am left wondering why it has taken so long for anyone to make the connection.
No, just those idiots in charge since 2006. Remember Lame Duck? there’s a reason for that term. It’s all yours now buddy!
Does fit like a ‘glove’.
I’m glad I wasn’t drinking anything or you would have owed me Michelle.
That picture made my day. Bravo
Now I remember who Obama reminds me of….LOL…Frankly I think he wants to trash the economy. This is a success as far as he is concerned.
How’s this slogan? “Let Obama do for Health Care what he’s done for the stock market!”
Hmmm, no thanks….we’ve had enough chaos already for one lifetime, Barry. Take it back; we don’t want it!
Looking at the picture, it reminds me of Gary Coleman. Still, it would make a good poster.
I must have missed something in one of the posts. Who was whining about some guy on the radio?
Today is the first day in more than 6 months that Obama’s name isn’t somewhere on the MSN.com home page. His stock must be falling too.
Let me quess LGM, its bushes fault right???
Urkel and Aunt Esther in the white house. I’m feeling so nostalgic, going shopping for a Pacer!
Where’s the t-shirt?

Bush is to liberals what a tattered snotrag blankie is to an infant, They will never let go of the comfort it brings them….
eddie haskell schumer standing beside urkel saying your sure looking great today mr urkel, should i go out and start another run on the banks. will that help you get this economy moving even faster into bankruptcy. and bozo biden seeking to dance with aunt esther cause she brung him to the dance. farce or tragedy? and how about those new stimulus jobs, do you want to work for the bankrupt city, state or federal government?
Yeah, and if McCain had won and the market dropped thirty percent in one month I’m sure you’d assign him no responsibility.
You’re sickening, you know that?
When Bush screwed up, and he screwed up plenty, I and everyone I know who voted for him said so. When he was going to do something harmful to the country we fought him on it. But you? You don’t give a crap about your country. All you care about is the DNC, whose members can do no wrong. Ever. If Obama came out tomorrow and insisted night was day you’d be in here crafting some elaborate explanation for how it was true.
The way his hair is going gray, I’d say he looks more like Grady from Sanford and son than Urkel.
As a matter of fact, yeah.
When Bush took over the economic downturn didn’t dramatically accelerate. It was obviously a continuation of conditions that were in effect when he took over.
Since Obama took office the market has given up nearly one-third of its value. Each big decline is clearly a reaction to things he’s said and things he’s done.
I don’t blame Obama for the conditions that started this mess (any more than I blame any other senator, that is). But I do blame him for deepening and prolonging the pain.
I’d be saying the same thing if he was a Republican and this happened. Can you honestly say you hold a Republican blameless for such a steep drop coinciding with his actions? I think not.
yo yo yo lgm and rss, look at the drudge report about the massive protest in manhatten over budget cuts affecting teachers, union workers, health care workers, government employees. the consensus solution, a fair tax that of course means raising taxes on the rich to pay for my job. 15b is the nut to pay for all these programs. so new york has about 17million people, so each one send $1000 to albany, and you can keep your damn job. men women and children. that seems fair.
absolutely LOL… Of course you realize that the OWNERS, OPERATORS and PUBLISHERS will have to issue an in DEPTH APOLOGY for this… OOOOPPPPSSSS, I forgot, MICHELLE, you are the OWNERS, OPERATORS and PUBLISHERS… As that great AMERICAN, EMILY LATILLA would say, NEVER MIND!!!
Yes! Wrong is wrong. Bush’s stance on immigration and the bailouts was wrong…and we all said so. But it’s rare to see that from the cultists on the left. In this case, O didn’t light the match, but he is pouring gas on the bonfire.
Soon, taxing income won’t be enough. How long will it be before O wants to create a “living” tax (similar to the “death” tax)? That way the gov’t can get a percentage of your total assets every year.
I started this post in jest, but now that I’ve written it I’m afraid it might come true.
Barry O is the Energizer Bunny of stock market crashes –
he makes them just keep on going and going …
I shared this at my public school bulletin board. All but one teacher LOVED it. Way to go Michelle for sharing it.
Actually, the start of this entire mess is Clinton’s fault. During the Toon administration, lenders were told to lend money to people that would never pay it back. They were forced into it because if they didn’t, Toon’s justice department was going to charge them with violations of the Fair Housing Act. The lenders knew they could either lose billions defending themselves in court or lose billions when the very risky loans went into default. When the economy picked up after 1996 (when the Republicans got taxes cut) everything looked rosy. But the borrowers were starting to default and it was noticed in 2001. Frank, Waters, and Dodd refused to blame FannieMae and FreddieMac and the democrats blocked any regulation.
So, I place the blame squarely where it belongs; Bill Clinton and the democrats.
Want to fix it? Pass the FairTax!
Lovin it!
