since you provide no factual support for your various pollyanna claims that everything is basically normal and such problems as there are follow from bad people who say negative things, i really don't see why your position should be taken seriously unless you start providing some basis for them beyond your vague pronouncements about the state of things.

First I simply presented a question on commonly available information, ie. job loss, Obama's election and Obama's comments.
Second, there is market psychology that has an impact on consumer spending - this is commonly known as well.
So there you have the basis of my "non-factual based" question.
Your response seems odd to me. I am a very curious person, and I get pleasure from questioning conventional wisdom. I get the feeling that at one point you got enjoyment out of questioning conventional wisdom and had a high level of intellectual curiosity, in reading your responses to my posts, I get the feeling you have lost that and that and now you just go with the flow of what you believe and have believed for years and won't challenge your views any longer. Saying things like I should not be taken seriously add no value. I don't care. My behavior won't change based on such comments. And I actual take comments like that as a sign of a person not willing to engage or respond in a reasoned manner. If my comments are not worthy of engagement or a reasoned response I would think they would be ignored.
