#1 It's not his money. He's a commie and doesn't believe in money...

"What's mine is mine. What's yours is mine."
The Communist Party actual credo.

#3 More of this to come. He's after IRA's and 401k's. The government knows best how to invest those billions of dollars and it is their responsibility to protect the "folks" from evil capitalist stock market downturns and losses.

If you like watching the Social Security and Medicaid Ponzi schemes over the years, you'll love what they've got in store for private investment. All money belongs to the government, ~~not the little people~~, all money. (snark off)

BUY OBAMA BONDS TODAY!

#4 Come Monday the market is going to free-fall again. The only thing that can stop it is an Obama speech. He's like Morgan Freeman, people just love to hear him talk. Even if it's nonsense. But his voice can only stall the markets, not stop the free-fall.

#5 The stock market is now in very direct competition with the government for dollars. If the government borrows the lot, the market starves. Simple as that.

#6 Every dollar the government borrows is one that may not be used to lend to or open a business.
