But, TB, you have been telling us all the economic news is wonderful (just too good to be true) under Obama.

The bad economic news is that Spain and Italy are about to hit us like a ton of bricks. Based on what's going on with yields right now the exhausting of the ECB's LTRO program [even its big backfire since a lot of the banks used the funds to buy trouble assets that are now underwater], there is an unusually high chance of at least one 500 point down day within the next month or so.

That's because of austerity - QE is being wound down.  It should be being expanded radically.
