When bush speaks on anything other than the war on terror, the market usually goes down. His war speeches are classics. He needs to pull off one of those on the economy and the scandals today. Coming to Wall Street where the most courageous of americans go to work every day(me among them <g>), he should declare a war on "the bear". FOR FUN Bush will say "While I speak, CEO's all over the land are being rounded up and arrested and taken to Guantanamo to spend their remaining days sharing rice with the Taliban." And "furthermore i announce the replacement of Harvey Pitt by Dr. Z. Hed and the trade of Paul O'Neill to the Texas Rangers for AROD, our new Secy of Commerce." Have a good day all. mike
