Obama Closes in on a Milestone

The markets have been down 8 days in a row.  The last time the markets were down 9 days in a row was 1978!

That means that if the markets are down again today, Obama will have tied his mentor, Jimmy Carter, and presided over an economy stumbling along so badly that it is setting records!
