American people don’t blame Obama’s policies for stock market drop.


On the Today Show yesterday, CNBC’s Jim Cramer caused a lot of buzz when he declared that President Obama’s policies have resulted in “the most, greatest wealth destruction I’ve seen by a president.” But in a new NBC News/WSJ poll, the vast majority of respondents said that Obama shouldn’t be blamed for the economy’s problems. In fact, 66 percent said it would be at least a year until Obama’s policies “are mostly responsible for the country’s economic conditions”:

17a. When you think about the current economic conditions, do you feel that this is a situation that Barack Obama has inherited or is this a situation his policies are mostly responsible for?
(ASK ONLY OF RESPONDENTS WHO SAY INHERITED IN Q.17a.)

17b. And how much time would you say that Barack Obama has before his policies are mostly responsible for the country’s economic conditions?

Situation Obama Inherited…………………………………………….. 84 <224-225>
Responsible in less than six months ……………………………….. 2
Responsible in six months to one year ……………………………. 13
Responsible in one to two years …………………………………….. 25
Responsible in two to three years …………………………………… 18
Responsible in more than three years …………………………….. 23
Not sure when responsible …………………………………………….. 3

Situation Obama’s Policies Mostly Responsible For …….. 8
Some of both (VOL) …………………………………………………….. 6
Not sure ……………………………………………………………………… 2

A common conservative attack on President Obama these days is to claim that he is directly responsible for all drops in the stock market. Clearly, the American people don’t agree.

3. Two more Rapublican shows I ignore. I advise everyone else to do the same.

Sorry, but I'm sick of these vicious media attacks on the common good. I can't stomach them anymore. And Matt Lauer is something to be flushed not gazed at.

4. I have to watch this kind of shit all day long.

We don't get Bloomberg at my office, so we are stuck with CNBC. Of course, even if we did get Bloomberg, I doubt the folks in my company would switch the channel anyway. They like it. There mostly GOP chimps as most Financial Services firms are by nature (Don't tax me or my rich clients, don't give me any rules to follow, I hate the Government).
