    We've been shorting the market and it hasn't been anything but good for us. That development is bad news for the market, but it's the only way to get decent risk-adjusted yields.

    I don't see how the word "unexpectedly" is deemed to somehow make it a pro-media spin on Obama.

    The fact that it was unexpected to me puts Obama in a worse light. It shows an uncertainty to where he believes this economy is heading.

    Maybe it really is unexpected and the question should be not why the media is saying it's unexpected but rather why does Obama not expect these thigs to happen and what does that tell us about his future predictions about the economy.

    If I was the pres who just made the call of the decade by going in Pakistan and taking down Bin Laden, I would say whatever the economic numbers that they are just a predictable hiccup in the road to recovery. :D

    Think harder. You'll figure it out.
