NEW YORK (AP) -- The dawn of the Obama presidency could not shake Wall Street from its dejection over the banking industry's growing problems.'

Herbert Hoover must be green with envy.

Lie to me about how it's all not so, thanks.

I think Dow 5000 or even 3000 is a strong possibility later this year.

I didn't bother listening to the speech but you are not the first thoughtful person I've heard report that it was disappointing, Sixstrings.

Like I've said, he's one of them now. Very intoxicating.

I just think many people were way to optimistic about Barack. Sure hes better then Bush, but the problems we have are severe and no one has the motivation to really deal with it! Im here on a convention in Las Vegas. The place is pretty depressing these days. Every employee is so thankful we are here! its so strange to be constantly thanked for traveling somewhere.

One of the most amazing quotes of his in the speech was when he said that we will defend our "way of life", which is reminiscent of Cheney's "our way of life is non-negotiable".

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')e will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.

That could have been any one of Bush's speeches.

Obama has zero leadership to draw on, he isn't going anywhere, but for now he will try and keep us here, if he can.

I thought it was an excellent speech. I did cringe on the "We will not apologize for our way of life," statement. I think we should apologize for our overconsumption. But then the following phrase made it sound like he was talking about freedom and democracy. But who would think we should apologize for that?

[DJSNOLA]

Seemed like alot of empty rhetoric to me! Although, Ive never been one thats impressed by simple vagueries in speeches. If I were Barack I would be working overtime to reduce expectations!

I found this noteworthy:
