Nothing but red, on msnbc, DOW down 137 points, still proud of the shutdown?

I put money into TVIX and bet that the market would fail. Same thing happened the last time Republicans pulled this stunt in 2011. Just the threat of a default cost us 10% of the market value - $2.3 trillion

Why worry about the stock market, wasn't it your Obama toy that said that the stock market was insignificant in determining the state of the economy when it did not respond to his first QE? He intimated that the market was so unstable that it could not be relied on as a true measure of economic health.

Why is it all of a sudden a major point of discussion now? So, which is it, an important point or of little value, pick one and stick with it.

obama needs to compromise . the GOP is objecting to raising the debt ceiling ( again ) . well , lets fix that . all we need to do is bring back the pre reagan era fed tax rates on corporations and the rich . we could start to PAY DOWN the debt instead of keep raising it . i'm sure obama would delay the ACA for a year for that .

Why did the govt need to shut down because republicans asked to delay obamacare for a yr when Obama has delayed parts of obamacare for a yr or more and that was just fine?

THis shut down is on Obama/Reid because they once again put politics and party ahead of this country and the people in it

People watch MSNBC? Aren't they the "report only good things about Obama" channel?

I don't react much to a few hours of trading with a less than 1% change.

It was wrong of Obama to lie yesterday about possibility of government default when default is impossible.

The real problem here is that you are watching msnbc.

I wonder if Fox is still calling it a 'slimdown'.

If you don't support Obama's shut down you're a racist!
