I didn't say 'market changes', you are reading meanings into my post that aren't there.
Read it again, and don't assume stuff. ;-)
In some things, for example military actions, recent administrations have ignored the proper authority for waging war. Sometimes not reacting so quickly may be a good thing, obviously not including response to a massive nuclear attack.
