This is what desperation looks like:

From CNBC:

While gridlock in D.C. is nothing new, “this time I think Wall Street should be concerned,” Obama said.

…

While saying that he doesn’t make decisions based on the performance of the stock market, the president nonetheless said that the current impasse could have a huge impact on business.

“It is important for [Wall Street] to recognize that this is going to have a profound impact on our economy and their bottom lines, their employees and their shareholders,” Obama said.

What is the purpose of these remarks, other than to drum up fear?
