I heard two of my co-workers talk about the Dow going down today both blamed Obama for not knowing how the economy works or having people around him who does. One of them is a doctrinaire Republican the other is intelligent but is what is called a "low information voter". If one thing Obama has are people who are pretty much wired into how our economy works or in this case doesn't work.
