Does Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama want to see the stock market collpase? The Obama campaign has hot a snag of late and there are even some women that are planning a boycott of the Oprah Winfrey show as they believe she has been unfair by not giving Republican veep candidate Sarah Palin a forum to promote her historic run for the White House.

Obama Caught Cheering for Stock Market Collapse, Oprah Boycott Planned

But now it appears that the Barack Obama campaign has gone over the top and a CNN report details that the campaign is thrilled that the stock market dropped over 500 points on Monday and they were hoping for the direst economic news possible.


While Americans were losing lots of value in their retirement plans and in their portfolios on Monday the Obama team was giddy according to CNN's Candy Crowley. Newsbusters notes that on Monday she confessed that Team Obama was happy as the stock market plunged.

Crowley said this, "I mean, (the drop in the stock market) is what (the Obama campaign) wanted. They believe, of course, that the economy is one of their strengths and that they can paint John McCain as George Bush." How wrong is that - cheering for economic woes for every day Americans so they can score cheap political points. It looks like the Oprah boycott might be the least of Obama's worries.
