Financial Planning With NRO

K-Lo does one of those “message from a reader” posts the Corner loves so dear:

Does the selloff on Wall Street have anything to do with the increasing likelihood that Obama will be our next president?

Note that the two trends — the financial meltdown, despite passage of the bailout, and the solidification of Obama’s lead — are coinciding. At a minimum, the market’s behavior is not a vote of confidence in an Obama presidency.

Does this mean that the stock market increases of the 1990s are definitive proof that Bill Clinton was the best president ever?
