Brown’s Surge…On Wall Street

Interesting item from Reuters via Yahoo! News:

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stocks rose broadly on Tuesday as investors scooped up healthcare shares on bets that a potential Republican victory in Massachusetts’ Senate race could stall U.S. President Barack Obama’s reforms and remove a threat to profits in the sector.

Gosh, it seems like just a minute ago the bill-killer faction was screaming about a rise in these same stocks when Lieberman killed the public option and Medicare expansion. Back then, it was proof Obama had sold us all out, but today it’s proof that…well, I’m sure they’ll come up with an explanation that starts with Rahm Emanuel, ’cause you know he’s in charge of everything.
