I think when the stats for 2008 finally come out, you will see that President Bush's close is up sharply.
Also, just for perspective, not a criticism, I tend to view the odd numbered year as the last one of an administration's, because the FY budget was passed under the prior President, and the new Administration has not yet had a chance to get its programs in place, given the lag between legislation and enaction.
Looking that way, for example, you would see that Reagan came in and things were none to rosy in his first full year, but that his trend from there was consistently towards lower unemployment. Don't get me started on his successor - the man who decried and then embraced Voodoo Economics.
Thanks.
I will revamp it a bit tonight, when I get home. I was struggling a bit with the cut off, and your idea makes sense. Also, I should probably split JFK/LBJ, Nixon/Ford, and Reagan/Bush into their own sections, I suppose.
I will be making similar charts for other economic indicators by administration. A better use of time than bickering with people. Less bickering, more charts and figures!

Welcome to the crowd then because plenty of the liberals have complained to the mods about silly things too. It is usually the ones who have proven that they love to dish it out but can't take it back at them.
I wasn't trying to prove causation. I think the stock market is independent of who Obama nominates for Secy of State. About the only position the stock tranders are interested in is Treasury Secretary.

Oh, it was not you I had in mind.
