What's really funny, is that you are claiming poor logic by a couple posters, when in fact those posters are simply telling you how wrong you are. And then when time shows them to be correct, you simply can't admit you were wrong. Color me shocked.

No - the posters claimed it was poor logic. Nice try at diversion.

So when are they going to admit they were wrong? I predict: never.

Why would they? They were right, you were wrong. Just another day on Wells.

Wait, they were right it was faulty logic? No wait, they were wrong. No wait they were right.

Get your story straight.

This is the thread that keeps on giving!

Let me lay it out simply for you. You can not say the "logic was wrong" a year ago and then turn around a year later and say it was right, without looking like a hypocrite.

If someone was doing that, you might have a point. All I've seen is people laughing at you and telling you how wrong you were. This has been consistent from the creation of this thread.

People - not you, not ever - understand unsound, unsustainable policy designed to pump short term results. Despite potential for additional up/down swings, we're far from the low point we'll see over the next several years, no matter who's elected. Correcting the mess will not be painless.

Wow. Just wow.

You guys didn't like getting called out when the Dow was 14,000. So you trashed the premise of the thread then. Now you're flip-flopping when the Dow is 11,500. Keep bumping, and I'll keep laughing

First I never trashed the logic of the thread a year ago. The Dow was high, so yeah it was kind of hard to protest too hard about that. Go and see for yourself. Of course other economic indicators weren't that strong even as the Dow soared...but we'll get to that in a second.

But let me ask you this. You started this this thread. You were obviously boasting that Bush was doing a great job on the economy based on the performance of the Dow. Fair enough.

But now that its fallen so much in a year and people are calling Bush out for his performance, BASED ON THE STANDARD YOU SET, do you or do you not agree that Bush's handling of the economy has been poor in the last year?

I'm not interested in what anybody else on here says or thinks. I'm only interested if you, tuff bob, are willing to admit how things are now. So far all I've seen is you throwing it back on others saying their logic is faulty and throwing in the predictable "libs" insult. (Which I'm not BTW but thanks for playing). Are you capable of giving any kind of straight answer or do you just dance around rather than admit the President might not be doing a good job now.

And just for the hell of it I'll try to explain your why your "faulty logic" argument is crap. When the Dow was at 14,000+ there were many other economic indicators that pointed that things were going to head downward soon. In your original post you basically said "THIS is the # that matters most". While others disagreed and said that it was basically a mirage.

Now a year later the Dow is at 11,500. IF there were several indicators that pointed in a positive direction, unemployment, housing values, low inflation, new job growth, etc. etc.....and people were trashing Bush based strictly on the Dow...then your "faulty logic" argument might be valid.

BUT as is turns out economic indicators are still down pretty much across the board and the Dow has just finally caught up. So basically the only hypocrite with "faulty logic" here is you who seems to be saying that a year ago the Dow was the be all and end all of economic health, but now is seeming to say it doesn't matter now that the news is not as good.

If in fact that is what you are saying. So far all I see is a bunch of smilies and vague comments not backed up by any arguments. And personally I think the smile is about the dumbest response you could post. It just screams "Man am I stupid". At least make an argument that stands by your OP or admit things have changed and its hard to defend Bush and the economy anymore.

Thought I'd bump this again since GWB is going to go on national TV tonight to bask in the glory of his economy and let the people thank him.
