A late slide on Wall Street is leaving indexes with modest losses at the close of trading.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 59 points to 12,756 on Tuesday, a loss of about half a percent.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index gave up five and a half points to end at 1,375. The Nasdaq composite fell 20 points to 2,884.

Microsoft was the biggest loser in the Dow, giving up 3 percent. The head of the company's huge Windows division left just weeks after the company launched Windows 8, the latest update to its operating system.

Indexes drifted up and down in uneven trading as traders worried about testy budget talks in Washington and a decision in Europe to delay the latest aid package for Greece.

If fraud and scheming by Obama is done in the forest and there are no news outlets to hear it happen, was there any fraud that was ever committed?

If this were covered by the networks, it would work to de-legitimize Obama's second term. So, you won't be seeing this on the networks. Most national media are complicit in the decline of America and those who aren't are labeled kooks. Americans are getting dumber and more dependent. Obama is the perfect representative.
