WendyCal, this started as comical, but as someone else already said, now you're just getting annoying. You were asked for sources to back up your claims that the financial crisis was caused by other countries being worried about Obama being elected. Your reply was to throw the wall street journal in our post and ask ethan if he'd ever heard of the stock market. That's not citing sources. That's not even really doing anything.

The rest of the world is going into an economic recession because the stock market is built on speculation. When the US economy started to crash, foreign stocks that were tied to the US economy also depreciated, which in turn caused further depreciation.

It has absolutely nothing to do with other countries "fearing" Obama being elected. In fact, most people in Canada that I know, and everyone in the UK, Asia, Australia and New Zealand that I've spoken with are hoping Obama gets elected. I can't say that the majority of people in other nations want this, I can only answer for the people in other countries that I know personally, which is a lot.

Your posts are just getting more confusing and more all over the place. No one here has any idea what you're talking about anymore. You have yet to post a single fact in this entire thread. Everything has been wild claims and out-there conjectures.

Edit: my mistake. you claimed the economy is crashing. that is indeed a fact. everything else you have posted thus far has been utter bullsh*t.

My bad. It's getting tough in this thread to sort through the sh*te to get to the posts with actual reason behind them. I take back my comments about you.
