Russian Market Falling Faster than Obama's Poll Numbers

The U.S. markets have problems, but things could be worse. Russia's market was forced to halt trading after falling 17% today. The market is down approximately 60% since May.

I guess the combination of a dictatorial regime and falling oil prices are not attractive to investors. I believe that Putin overreached with his Georgia gamble and now Russia is headed for more trouble. Rubles, anyone?
