It will be interesting to see what happens to the Rush empire now. He just signed a $400m contract, which depends on listeners and lots of them. This election result wasn't the 'toss-up' that he spent the last week saying it was. I'm sure these next few years will be spent trying to 'prove himself right,' and to do that he needs things to go really wrong in the Obama administration. Obama can get away with saying he 'inherited' such and such, but not for very long. Since 2006 the Senate has been controlled by Democrats. Now there are no other directions for the fingers to point. People are maddest about plummeting asset values (their homes and 401(k)s). If under an Obama administration I see marked, strong appreciation in BOTH of these asset values for me, I will have considered him as having done a good job. But if only my 401k goes up, he'll get NO points for that. A blind squirrel can make my 401k 'go up' from where it stands today. I want my home value to go up. That ought to be a true test.
