To the extent that presidents affect the numbers in question, Obama got better numbers. (Compared to what they started with)

I may have underestimated how much a president can effect the numbers on their own.

On the one hand, I'm pleased with him that he is finally taking notice, and clearly sought some help in writing a speech and coming up with some policy. Good for him. On the other hand, my wife, who is teaching second graders pointed out that some of her students are better at reading out loud than he was last night. He clearly prefers to speak without a script where he can just ramble. Cruise line stocks fell sharply this morning and I think this will be a longer term problem for them. Images of trapped passengers on sick ships are going to be hard to forget. Some airlines fell 12% or more this morning, and they will absolutely bounce back. It's a good time to buy airline stocks, assuming you can swoop in before others get the same idea. |

Apparently Americans do not spread viruses. Only Europeans allies do. He said all trade between Europe and America will be halted. Reality: no commercial trade will stop. He cannot even read a teleprompter without lying? Someone who has spent his entire life lying daily - of course he cannot even recite what a teleprompter says. Reading the teleprompter required more than a 30 second attention span. |

Congress is planning to spread a large chunk of money they don't have(deficits don't matter) to combat the economic impact of the Kung Flu.
I haven't heard who is getting all this cash; the company losing business due to a decrease in traffic, the waitress barely making the rent on tips that will now dry up, the uninsured who can't afford medical care?
