HANNITY: The Dow is literally tanking. It's going down here. The president said he's not watching the gyrations of the stock market.
OBENSHAIN: Oh, my gosh.
HANNITY: I'm thinking, this is like, well, it's just like a political poll. And I'm thinking, well, a political poll? When people lose now —
OBENSHAIN: Unbelievable.
HANNITY: — we're heading to 5,000? And people lost, you know, 60 percent of their money?
OBENSHAIN: In two and a half months, Barack Obama has added more to the deficit than George Bush did in eight years fighting two wars and dealing with Katrina. Of course, the markets are in a free-fall, because they recognize what's happening here.
NICK DiPAOLO (comedian): Exactly.
STEVE MURPHY (Democratic strategist): That's not what it is, but go ahead, Nick.
OBENSHAIN: That's part of what it is.
MURPHY: That's not what it is.
DiPAOLO: The free market is allergic to socialism. This is the reaction you should — the Wall Street — it should be.
HANNITY: Well, wait a minute.
DiPAOLO: Wouldn't you get scared if it went up?
MURPHY: Nick, they're all socialists on Wall Street themselves.
HANNITY: Well, but I mean, that's the point. It is a reaction. Wait, it is a reaction.
DiPAOLO: It's an allergic reaction to his baloney.
HANNITY: If they had so much faith and confidence in his plan — because, remember, markets don't react emotionally. Markets react to numbers.
OBENSHAIN: Right.
HANNITY: If they had faith and hope in his plan, why wouldn't they react more confidently?
