On Sunday George Snuffleupagus, a non-partisan journalist (huh), credited soon to be President Barrack Obama with the five-day positive run in the stock market.  All of those majestic choices for his financial team miraculously raised confidence in the market.  "The One" changes bricks to pure gold nuggets with the wave of his hand - the eighth wonder of the world.  Subsequently, on Monday "The One" introduces his National Security Team; Secretary of State, Attorney General and Homeland Security Chief - the stock market plummets by almost 700 points.  I must now assume these nominations by "The One" scared the begeevies out of all those market investors.  Ridiculous isn't it!?  When you infuse politics into every "news of the day" item, the taste of leather shoes in one's mouth becomes commonplace.  Additionally, ignorance of economics and the forces that drive it are left on the side of the road.  As bugs bunny would say, "What a maroon".
