North Korea is a nuclear power.

North Korea has tremendous capability with conventional arms, all pointing at Seoul South Korea.

North Korea decided to defy the world community and did a rocket launch this weekend.

So what do 57% of Americans want to do?

Early this month, the right wing jumped the shark when they decided that they would attribute the bear market that began on the watch of George W. Bush to President Obama. From March, it became the "Obama Bear Market."

The DJIA is ever so close to completely closing the gap between Inauguration day when it closed at 7,949. What will they say then?

No doubt soon, the DJIA will retrace back to its close of 9,139 the day after the election. What will they say then?

Can you see? The talking points were built on a foundation of dry sand.

Last week I wrote, Obama Bull Market, Right Wing Will Eat Their Words with the premise that the Right Wing had "jumped the shark" in attributing global stock market performance to the actions of the Obama Administration.

Market corrections can go both ways and this week we are seeing the correction to the positive continue.

The Republican Party saw the market decline as a political opportunity and "grabbed the bull by its horn."

On March 6, 2009, the right wing walked into their own trap by laying the current bear market at the feet of the President;

‘Obama Bear Market’ Punishes Investors as Dow Slumps

Now they will live to regret that decision.

Even though I have been previously part of the "vast right wing," I have been very hesitant to attribute stock market performance to the actions of a President. It is bad politics and a sure way to lose money.

To blame stock market performance on a single political party so far away from an election is sheer stupidity and political suicide.

Why? Your answer is below the fold.

My Father is Irish and is Catholic.

My Mother is British and is Protestant.

I was born in America, yet I carry a British Passport and live in England.

In America, some people remember when they were privileged to hear the speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Ten years ago, I wept for happiness when The Good Friday Agreement was reached.

This weekend I wept with sadness when two British Soldiers and one Northern Ireland Police Officer were assassinated.

The Troubles have returned.

A long long time ago, when I guzzled the kool aid I made a contribution to Coleman's 2002 election campaign. "Forgive me for I have sinned."

Because of that contribution, I ended up on spam list after list as the Coleman campaign sold my name to every wacked out group possible.

To this day, I have been trying to get off Coleman's e mail list and they "refuse" to remove me from that list. I wonder if that is a violation of some law?

Today, I received an interesting e mail that Norm's Campaign, obviously "pre-occupied" with "other matters" released the names, addresses and credit card information to the world.

I have had it with all the gloom and doom here at Daily Kos because it reminds me of a place that I used to visit, Free Republic.

It was wrong when Republicans "talked down" the economy because Democrats were in power.

It was wrong when Democrats "talked down" the economy when Republicans were in power.

It is insane when Democrats "talk down" the economy when they control all levers of power!

I do realize that the US economy is facing a horrid rough patch, but there are signs that spring is coming.

One of those signs? Bread Lines!!

I am sure many of you enjoyed Matt Drudges image of a bread line that he posted the other day however the reality is that some of those bread lines just happen to be at the extremely expensive grocer, Whole Foods.

I have had enough and can no longer take it. It was bad enough when the right wanted Obama to fail for political gain.

It is now clear that the right and the Republican Party that I formerly associated with wants America to fail and they plan to profit from it.

How do I know this? Unfortunately, I am still on all the wacko mailing lists after multiple attempts to "unsubscribe."

I consider myself fortunate that me and my family are covered by what I consider one of the finest health care systems in the world, the NHS in the United Kingdom.

Having said all that, I recently came across Governor Charlie Crists highly touted health care plan for the uninsured in Florida.

Let me ask, why do you put up with this nonsense?

Too many negative diaries the last few days so it is time to point out the good because there are good signs out there.

Hopefully this evening, President Obama will provide a positive message further encouraging the good news that is out there.

It turns out that the Senator from Kentucky has a lucrative part time job selling his autograph due to his prior status as a Baseball Player with the Detroit Tigers.

It turns out that he makes a lot more than an UAW Worker too;

Flats/Balls $50
Bats/Jerseys/
Equipment $65
Inscriptions $10

Well, looks like the "fans" back in Detroit, the City that gave him his chance, want nothing to do with him this weekend.

I went to work today, after taking a brief nap when I had the honor and privilige of watching the election of President elect Obama.

This morning it looked like every available United States flag in the United Kingdom was in full display.

Today, I told my colleagues "I am proud to be an American" which is a very profound statement for a dual national.

This morning, my Prime Minister also had some comments.
