Global And Domestic Markets Responding To Obama Election With Something Less Than Elation

Well, he did say he would bring the world together. International trading partners and domestic investors - everyone seems really excited about a Democratic-managed economy:
A case of postelection nerves sent Wall Street plunging Wednesday as investors, looking past Barack Obama's presidential victory, returned to their fears of a deep and protracted recession. Volatility swept over the market again, with the Dow Jones industrials falling nearly 500 points and all the major indexes tumbling more than 5 percent. The market was widely expected to give back some gains after a runup that lifted the Standard & Poor's 500 index more than 18 percent and that gave the Dow its best weekly advance in 34 years; moreover, many analysts had warned that Wall Street faced more turbulence after two months of devastating losses. But investors lost their recent confidence about the economy and began dumping stocks again.
At least our geopolitical neighbors respect the incoming President. That's why no one launched rocket barrages at Israeli civilians or put missiles put on NATO's borders after the election.
