(CNN) Obama claimed on Monday ahead of a government shutdown:

“So a shutdown will have a very real economic impact on real people right away, past shutdowns have disrupted the economy significantly–this one will too. It will throw a wrench into the gears of our economy at a time when those gears have gained some traction.”

Today stocks rise 62.03 closing at 15,191.70 so much for Obama’s doom and gloom warning that the sky will fall and economic Armageddon would happen today.
