So, Obamanites, are you ready to put your money where your mouth is? If you really think Obama knows what he’s talking about and that the stimulus is going to work, why not get back into the market<\/a>?<\/p>\n

President Obama told Americans to take a look at investing in the stock market this afternoon, a remarkable utterance for an American president, especially as the Dow Jones Industrial Average proceeds on its course Southward.
\n“What you’re now seeing is … profit and earning ratios are starting to get to the point where buying stocks is a potentially good deal if you’ve got a long-term perspective on it,” the president said on a day that trading continued to hover under 7,000.

How about Citibank?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
