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.
BREAKING: The President of the United States told the stock market it should be worried for NO FUCKING REASON.

What is the purpose of these remarks, other than to drum up fear?
Obama trying to spook markets but Republicans are anarchists.

It's not the President's job or role to signal to the stock market that they should be worried. This is ridiculous.

Shorter Obama: I am surprised the stock market hasn't crashed. It really should crash. Has it crashed yet? Did I mention it should crash?

The absolutely last thing Obama wants right now is for no one to suffer. No one disputes that, right?
