The market has more to do with who we elect, than who we elect has to do with the market.
And by the way, wasn't a Democratic Congress just elected???

Blaming Clinton for 9/11 is stupid.
I don't blame Bush for the stock market. However I DO blame his administration for the national debt, which if you think about it DOES affect the worldwide markets.
I am not a Democrat. I'm a registered independent, mainly a Libertarian (meaning I want LESS government, fewer taxes, more individual freedom - stay the hell out of my bedroom, and want to see wars fought in self-defense only), with socially and environmentally liberal ideals (that is, I believe we are responsible for caring for the Earth for future generations, and the lesser among us, like children, elderly and seriously ill) who sees the Dems as the lesser of two evils. When the hell are we going to have a viable 3rd party? Or should I say when are the people going to stop being SHEEP and vote their conscience?
What I can't stand is hypocricy. The Republicans like to say that the Democrats are big spenders, but which party consistently puts us in the hole and which one has done a better job of trying to pull us out? Whatever happened to the party of Lincoln and Eisenhower? Those guys were true conservatives. Republicans are anything but conservative these days. They are fascist (corporate owned) neocons, driven by greed and power.
They are pandering to the religious right not because any of these smarmy politicians really give a rat's patoot about "God" or "Morals" but because the neocons want the CONTROL that goes along with a theocracy. Gotta keep the SHEEP in line...

Stock market on Jan 20, 2001 (when Bush took office): 10,587.59
Stock market on Feb 27, 2007 (today, after the panic): 12,216.24
A 15% gain over 6 years, despite 9/11 and today.

Not everything is a President's fault, Clinton didn't make us a Christian majority and an economic powerhouse, and therefore a terrorist target, and Bush didn't sell all his stock today or decide that housing market should crash.

It's investors' fault for not having confidence to invest. Period. It is not Clinton's fault or Bush's fault, and I am waiting for the first Liberal Whiner who thinks he/she can do a better job at seat of the Presidency to step up and take the media and the polls the same way that they're dishing it out! Grow up and find a different hobby!

Don't blame Bush, blame me. I took profits today.
Everybody already blames Bush for everything. This begs the question, is he stupid or brilliant? An idiot couldn't orchestrate the incredible conspiracies that have been credited to Bush. If he's a genius, then why does everyone tell me how stupid he is? You have to be truly mad, you do realize that, don't you?

I am suprised that no one has mentioned that when taxes were cut, then the people had more money to spend andinvest. You have more money to do that, then the economy is going to do good ie stock market.

9/11 was Bush & Clinton and was a total inside job. Presidents don't affect the market much, unless they spend billions on a lame war and drive america into massive debt.

I'm usually harassing the neocon questions, but I have to admitt...today's mess has more to do with fears over the global economy than it does Bush.
