Following pattern, Fox Business claims markets "like[d]" "Big GOP Wins In NJ & VA"

And tomorrow, if Payne comes down with a major case of diarrhea, that will undoubtedly be because Obama's approval ratings are above 50% ...

Good grief, these guys are suffering so terribly from Obama Derangement Syndrome that they'll actually peddle this crap that everything bad is Obama's fault and all things good are because of the mighty GOP.

Generally any movement on the Dow of less than 200 points really cannot be attributed to anything. They usually call it "profit taking" or some other general (bs) explanation.

If you are one of the Fox "News" types who believes that the Dow does better under Republican "pro business" types, how exactly do you explain the behavior of the Dow under George W. Bush, which was arguably the most "pro business" administration in history?

George W. Bush Jan. 22nd 2001 Dow was at 10,500
George W. Bush Jan. 21st 2009 Dow was at 8,200

The Dow dropped about 2300 points during the George W. Bush Administration. That is the worst performance by far of any modern President.

This must mean that the markets LOVE Obama's presidency, since the markets have consistently shown improvement since 20 Jan 09.

And if the market goes down it is because Barack Obama is still president.

I love when people use the term "anti-American," even though I'm not sure what it means.

If we assume that the "market" is a living beast (a beast that exists on a national level) whose mood is affected by elections, I am going to need the good people at Fox to explain how state politics (2 GOP governors being elected) has more power to affect that mood than national politics (2 Democrats being elected to congress).

It could easily have been spun as "Markets rally after two more House seats go to the Democrats"

Because as you know, the market (like the House) represents all of American business not just Virginia and New Jersey
