Obama Contract Slides On InTrade
The first debate is still in progress, but the habitual gamblers who have a compulsion to bet all the time 24/7 on event outcomes have already spoken via their favorite venue InTrade, and the initial reaction is not favorable for the incumbent. Having traded over 70 for nearly two weeks, the "Obama for president" contract flash crashed below 70 promptly for the first time in many days, and has slid 8% in the past few minutes. Naturally, the contract has quite a bit to go until parity. On the other hand it does bear remembering that when it comes to predictive capacity InTrade odds are notoriously bad: just recall the Obamacare gamble when virtually everyone on InTrade was certain it would not pass. All that said, at least according to InTrade it appears that the first presidential debate has not gone quite as the current president might have planned.

I remember that scene in The Princess Bride.
Oh, and "A bright future is in store ... ?"
I don't think that phrase means what you think it means.
Chances of false flag just went up.
"Due to unknown reports of threats against Gov Romney, I have had him taken to a secure place until after the election."
Damn it! If I only had my Teleprompter!
TOTUS kept looking down as if he were summoning a Teleprompter.
I would really rather have had a Ron Paul vs. Barack O'bomb-a debate. That would have been quality TV.
Obummer the dickhead would be nuked if he faced Ron Paul in a debate.
Actually, for pure entertainment value, Newt and the dickhead woulda been the best.
Romney is a carbon copy of Obama in a white, premed Wall Street way. S&P futures, HFT churners jumped on this a-hole wining the debate. Why? He is a printer.
Volatility.
it matters not money talks and bullshit walks the die is long since cast irrespective of who wins , oops make that the cast is.... someone above nailed it ... that cynical smirking chicago wardheeler subconsciously doesnt want the job. Which is rather clever.
Its just a setup for 2016 when we've gone through hyperinflation and Obama comes around and says "See, I told you so."
Obama should avoid numbers at all costs since he has no idea about any of the finances he is responsible for. How can Romney cut taxes by $5 Trillion if the federal government does not collect that much in tax revenues in a year? Does that mean he thinks Romney will abolish taxes and have the IRS pay all of us instead?
Back to the chomp wagon and smoke some bowls.

I believe Obama called it the "choom wagon". Cheech and Choom looked like a complete idiot tonight. I was waiting for Obama to just stomp off stage in frustration. “The emperor has no cloths, the emperor has no cloths….”
What a joke. He performed about as well as Marvis Frazier did here.

Like these debates over the 0.00001% difference between the candidates matters. Hell, GW got owned in every debate he ever attended, except maybe the one where Gore put on way too much makeup and looked like an idiot to compliment Bush's being an idiot. Yet, GW still won both elections...with lots of help from the supreme court and Diebolt, and hired protesters in Florida, etc... So this time we get the outright asshole (Mittney) or the slightly less outright asshole (Obama). I'm voting Rocky Anderson as I will not vote for a Demopublican ever again.
It's all part of the bread and circuses scheme to make it look like we have a choice.so that we will vote, thereby giving credibility to this bought and paid for corrupt system and making us complicit in out enslavement. Be sure to get excited about it!!
They're both the same. Why do you care?
You people actually watched this shit??? You like pretending the elections are real? Does that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? Is it like sex? Did you masturbate to Obamney while singing "God Bless America" in your undies from China?
so you didnt even watch the debates yet want to dabate about the thing you didnt watch...man you are a fucking idiot.
Did I bruise your ego? Do you actually think your opinion matters?
Anyone else notice Romney's closing remarks regarding increasing incomes (e.g. not stopping inflation)? See, the problem is... increasing taxes is one of the dual tools required when increasing the monetary base to prevent inflation. That and austerity. Meh, both choices suck, but I suppose one animal is more equal than others.
Also, Barry's mention of the 2009 addition to the tax code as part of the stimulus, then again in 2010, that of being able to deduct private jet purchases, was audacious. I have to give some political smarts credit to the Democrats for creating a tax credit in a prior year only to assist the incumbent in the next Presidential election cycle due to the obvious class warfare tactics they themsevles have fostered. Brilliant, or just plain retarded to think people are this dumb.
I'm going to have to take someone else's word on tonights debate since both of these shit stains aren't worth my time to watch that circus. I have more important things to do like spend quality time on ZH and then write in RP on election date. Fuck em. . . . ..
Ron Paul gave a nice short interview on CNBC where he hinted at people writing in his name or just not voting while saying the FED needed to be audited and foreign wars of imperial conquest (in not so many words) needed to be ended.
We are so done .I believe Obama has not a clue whats going on. He looked like he felt out of place and didn't even prepare for this. The guy was stammering, repeating himself and couldn't even directly point to ANYTHING he has accomplished. In my view Romney swepped the floor with him (I have no idea why the guy wants that job). But it doesn’t matter the MSM will push this asshole down everyone’s throat. Obama will probably win. But it doesn’t matter who gets in we are all seriously screwed.
There are no regulators. (Just humans milling about collecting paychecks, contemplating and manipulating their next career move)There are no regulations. (Just words on paper justifying regulators milling about collecting paychecks and Lawyers manipulating and billing an industry)
I'm torn as to which arrow I should click for your post, so I'm going to refrain from clicking.
This is fight club. Remember?
Gee, the Manchurian has only had his ass kissed every day for his entire life until last night.
TOTUS: You didn't win that.
Obama contracts, Romney contracts...
Even our Presidents are worthless paper.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
FUCK BEN BERNANKE
NO INTEREST RATE MANIPULATION
CLOSE THE NY FED
BREAK UP TBTF BANKS, JAIL THE CEOS AND MIRROR THEIR HARD DRIVES ON THE WEB
And by all means stay cool.
dancing with the czars, all bets are losers
I trust pinnacle odds waaaaay more than intrade. Romney jumped from 4:1 dog to 3:1 dog. Pretty decent move for 90 minutes
Betfair has always been my guide although I do usually only use it for betting slow and fast racehorses.... mittens was at least 5.5 with them a few days ago and is now 3.95.
What price power? Who would take that job, to run around with your dick out in Air Force One? What a hoot.
This is about immutable stone cold numbers it cannot remotely be fixed, its a laydown slam.
Your upside is to preside over the fall of America, and they write your name in red ochre on the cave walls with Mel Gibson on a dune buggy in the valley looking for body warmth restored. .
It should more properly be set up as a reverse lottery and whatever citizen has the profound misfortune of picking the Queen Of Spades , well buckle up Mr President , snap on those Depends for some fun as your country revisits the stone age. Its over and its sad but . kindly be serious . Pray and prep.
Well thanks for your comment.
Obama looked like an emperor being told he was naked…
"The reason uhhhhh I didn't do well in the debate, I-I-uh uh was so focused on the planning for the Libya attack."
"Put $100 on 30 to 1 double sixes, I feel lucky!"
Obama sounded like a pre schooler. Romney sounded like a college professor.
Worth repeating
Obama sounded like a pre schooler. Romney sounded like a college professor.
Down arrow for bad Three Stooges routine. If I was Moe Howard, I'd be smackin' you right now.
As an investor and trader who is Bullish on Oil, Bullish on Gold, and Bearish on too much Austerity, I feel I won the debate tonight!
*** Governor Romney was so keen on making up for the "47 percent" fiasco and appearing likeable, he fell back on the ole political standby of "a chicken - or in his case, probably a lobster - in every pot."
He literally threw the Austerity-Mongers in the GOP under the bus - which, by the way, is going to make things much more difficult for Uber-Hawk Ryan in next week's debate.
I have said repeatedly that my party needed a return to Nelson Rockefeller - and Governor Romney may have been reading my posts. He was in kissing babies and eating bagels mode. I cannot think Grover Norquist was very happy about it, nor the Fiscal Cliffies in Congress.
*** Romney's best dig at President Obama, bar none - nothing even close - was his attacks on green energy support and how much it has been costing. He also pushed for pipelines and getting along with Canada for a change.
Obama may well have to counter this the next month by throwing some of his own supporters - the UltraGreens - under the bus and being more, not less, supportive of the Oil and Nat Gas sectors. (Romney also courted the Coal people, which I don't think was a particularly good idea.)
*** Romney previewed his stance in the Foreign Policy debate in two weeks by saying nasty things about China. And if he's starting in already, he is clearly going to get nastier and nastier.
China, which is already not amused, will likely become further and further not amused.
When China is not amused, it pressures the US Treasury market, which tends to boost stocks.
China also gets revenge against those who diss it by buying Gold and Silver, which it is already doing anyway. It just may do it faster and more visibly.
So, all in all, I'm happy!
China is not amused since their secret agent lost the debate.
Hu: "Hurry up, Orama! Send secret plans for new X-15 jet engine quickly!"
Well, something happened. Look at the move in Au and Ag!
