Obama's Paradox Island

Why is the marketplace exhibiting such erratic behavior?  Why do consumers feel so vulnerable? Why aren't the bailed-out banks not loaning money?  Why aren't people buying large -ticket items like cars?


Could it be due to the paralysis of fear of the unknown?  The terror of making the first move, that may prove to be the wrong move? 

Welcome to Paradox Island! 

The new Reality Show brought to you by Barack Obama in cooperation with the Democrats' Three Stooges..

Based on campaign promises, will Barack (choose one of the 15 alternative options listed below.  You have a choice of 225 alternative right-wrong decision alternative configurations....remember no do-overs), and either get to keep your money, make some money, or lose it all!  

• Immediately withdraw from Iraq, risking al-Qaeda and Iranian takeover and Cambodia type genocide or leave Iraq in control, victorious, and our powerful ally in the Middle East?
  

• Cancel promise to double the capital gains tax so stock owners stop their own bailout plans as indicated by the 17% market drop from your election 'til midday November 13?
  

• Take steps to bankrupt the coal industry or clean it up with reasonable control as we search for additionally energy sources?
  

• Destroy or keep NAFTA?
  

• Reverse the Executive Moratorium on drilling?

• Create jobs through government expansion by taking over businesses?
