Some think this is more a reaction to Europe than a reaction to Obama. European markets were down by a similar amount. The US political concern is the threat of the "financial cliff" if budget reductions cannot be agreed on by the end of the year and the basic players in the budget battle (which engaged in brinkmanship on the Debt Ceiling debate) are the same- Obama president, Democratic Senate with Republicans enough to fillibuster and a Republican House. Nothing really changed.

300 points off the DOW so far. With capital gains going up (up to 20 percent) and with the regulatory noose tightening in a myriad of sectors, expect the sell-off to be steady until the end of the year. Some analysts are speculating an end of the year S&P 500 of 1250.

“Our illegal population alone exceeds the all the Irish, Jewish and British immigrants who came. Each year, we catch more people breaking in at the border than all the Swedes and Norwegians who came to America in 200 years. Half a million illegal aliens succeed in breaking in every year, more than all the Greeks or Poles who came legally from the Revolution to 1960..” - Patrick J. Buchanan
Currently moving back up- DOW is up 100 from its low for the day.
