I can't figure out where Obama's lean is within his party.
How do you spell "S-O-C-I-A-L-I-S-T

I have been waiting for the market to react in a favorable way as it typically does in the lead up to a general election. This just hasn't happened, so yes it will be interesting to see what happens the next few days after the election regardless of the winner

Never said it was offensive. Just IMO far different than anything I can remember
Amirm: I'm not so sure. I think this election has the potential to be tied up with litigation over votes, storm impacts, and even after that dust settles, no matter who gets the Oval Office, a large chunk of the population will be unhappy. I think the sniping and infighting will only get worse during the next 4 years, and there is little likelihood of bipartisan efforts in Congress, no matter who gets elected.I sat through the presentation of one of the high powered analysts that talked about the two candidates and impact on the economy and stock market. One line summary: both of the candidates were painted as being delusional as far as what it takes to get us back to fiscal health. The future was bleak no matter which took office. The two are fighting over 1% impact issues when it comes to such policies. In that regard, I did not walk away with either being much worse than the other.
There is however one positive: certainty. The elections and Europe situation are two things that keep people concerned. With elections out of the way, we will at least have that behind us.

Do you honestly believe that, Steve? Maybe coming from Canada that word is not as offensive as it is to many in the States, and I don't meant to infer that Canada embraces "socialism" in its entire form. However, some of the ideology has garnered favour as you are well aware.
I'll just call him a left-leaning Liberal.
I am simply sharing what my financial advisers are saying. I pay them to know this stuff . And their point all along has been that people are waiting to see who gets elected. That waiting alone is causing jitters that would go away once a president is elected. Without it there are a lot of "what if" is going on.Amirm: I'm not so sure.

In the Netherlands we would call him a right of center national security hawk, with a few sound instincts such as the idea of financial services regulation and universal healthcare. This Obama is a socialist is a joke. The central idea of socialisms is nationalization of resources, having the government plan and run production, and workers are on the government payroll. What is the largest socialist (i.e. government run) industry in the USA? Right, the military. Who advocates expansion of the military? Right, Romney. We have to conclude the real socialist in the house is Mitt. The least socialist country in Europe (the uk) is the only place the entire healthcare industry is nationalized.... The term socialism is thrown around rather loosely.

well then as Bill says, how about "wealth redistribution"
