Anti-Obamaniac: "Stupid filthly greedy socialists! They should all die! Reagan did it so much better! There's no such thing as a Bad War! If only we had Dick Cheney still there!"

American Taxpayer: "But if no one is willing to buy the debt, and the government just prints the money anyway, won't that lead to too many dollars chasing too few goods, and result in hyper inflation?"

Ati-ObamaBot: "This is all the dirty Democrats fault! It doesn't matter that the Messiah has only been in office for a month! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CRITICIZE OUR ATTACKING HIM!"

American Taxpayer: "I'm just not convinced that spending a trillion plus dollars on things that don't create jobs will help. I can't see how raising taxes generates revenue and creates prosperity"

Anti-ObamaGreeter (WalMart): "We will win control back in two years, so shut up!"

American Taxpayer: "You're frothing at the mouth. Do you have Mad Cow disease?"

Anti-Oba-Won Kinobe: "The Force is with us, and like Rush said we hope Obama fails"

Did Obama Cause the Stock Slide?
Wall Street has soured on the new Administration's policy moves. Can this relationship be saved?

By Ben Steverman

At least on Wall Street, the honeymoon is over for President Barack Obama.

Polls still show the President has strong popularity among the general U.S. population, and Obama continues to command power in Congress. But among investors, fairly or unfairly, there is griping that the new Obama Administration is at least partly to blame for the recent slide in stocks. Since Nov. 4, Election Day, the broad Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is off about 25%, and since Jan. 20, when Obama took office, the "500" is down 15%.

It's never easy to determine exactly why the stock market moves in a particular direction. Plenty of other factors have influenced stock prices since November. For example, the global economy has slowed further and the outlook for corporate profits has worsened.

But BusinessWeek interviewed a wide array of investment professionals, and many said the first six weeks of the Obama Administration have soured their outlook on the stock market.
