well dinner roll... i personally feel he should sack up and call congress back from recess (which he has the power to do) so they can begin fixing shit.. since you know.. it kinda is there job and all being elected reps of citizens of our great nation.. congress needs to step the fuck up and stop acting like dickheads, it goes for both sides. but yeah, if obama could grow a pair and call them to come back (might show some power and leadership which he seems to be lacking now) i think that would be a better choice then go on vaca. dont get me wrong.. he deserves vaca, just maybe not right now.
and yes i completely agree with you, the stock market is so much more psychological than actually based on data and quarterly reports, which is why if the traders see a confident government, it will give them the confidence to have faith that things are back on track and for the economy to begin doing better.
