Ya know, cause Bush has totally f*cked it up with his policies and tax cuts:
Wall Street extended its October rally Monday as investors grew more confident about upcoming earnings reports and as a decline in oil bolstered hopes for higher consumer spending. The Dow Jones industrials crossed 12,100 for the first time and reached a new record high close.
Yup, just sucks, eh?
Dow component Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which pleased investors by announcing plans to cut capital spending to improve profits, helped the blue chips to their new high. The Dow's record came just three trading days after its first move past 12,000.
Oh, no, liberal anti-Christ company WalMart, whose low low prices offer poor people that libs supposedly love vast buying power, helped push the Dow over the top. Tsk, tsk, bad WalMart!
