Big DaWg

The three major US indices (Dow; Nasdaq and S&P500) all took a nosedive when our new president delivered a highly shallow speech. By the time he finished, people knew he could not do math ("Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath" - Duh! Bill Clinton is one guy; so is Dubya!); a leader more complaining than a whiny teen with an Unlimited cell phone plan ("Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet"); is more socialist (and less brave) than Joe Stalin ("on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good"); will not only waste taxpayers' money within US, but outside too ("to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity"); is shaking not only in cold but also from P-U-T-I-N ("our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint"); will kowtow to Cuba-Iran-Syria and North Korea too ("those new threats that demand even greater effort — even greater cooperation and understanding between nations"); and someone who just made Islam the official second religion of United States ("We are a nation of Christians and Muslims").
