Ok alot more words to say you don't know.

So you thnik that american business actaully layig of qorjers to cut the bottomline and saving instead of investing profits is a good job when effected by policy? Individuals are following the same on their personal weath by eliminating debt ans saving. Thatis a good confidence indicator of what either see in the future reallyNo wander the liberals survive on hope and promises ;not paying attention to what is really happening.

Interesting that the markets have already risen considerably since the Republicans took the House. Definitely a correlation there.

Really really is that the best you can come up with? So the market was not on an upswing since Obama has taken over? Why believe me? Why not look at the charts? Better yet I will put it in the posting so that you can see with your own righty eyes. Lets call a spade a spade. Obama has done a great job in terms of the market and yes it hard to swallow if you are a hater on the right. I would actually love to hear some more spin its just great and I do nothing but laugh while I read it. Those who mentioned Bushy Jr. Dow at 14k you are 100% right. How did the market wind up with him? 6500K LOLOLOL an utter joke. Largest Housing market collapses under who? ohh yeah Mr. Bushy jr again. Go ahead and look at the chart below and please please tell me it all because of Nov. elections results. Good one guys.

Jobs as we all know are lagging indicators so they will bounce back in due time. The market is doing well because Mr. Obama is in charge and not Bushy destroy everything I touch Jr. isnt. Sorry right wingers but the proof is in the pudding.

Funny people like you only blame Dems when something goes wrong. When its time to blame the Gop you rather say its market forces at work. Great spin. Funny to say the least.

Because big corporations and financial institutions are sitting on a pile of cash and instead of hiring they are investing in the market.

I object to the phrase "Obama's stock market." Obama has never indicated the slightest understanding of the principle of buying a percentage ownership interest in a publicly traded company. Rather, in his public pronouncements he makes it clear that corporations are pinatas to be beaten, or chickens to be plucked, or need to be hectored and lectured to provide jobs (as if jobs are supposed to be some form of charity.)

The shellacking in November has at least caused Obama to stop parroting the most egregious anti-employer rhetoric, but his adminsitration continues to be problematic for business in America. The Republican majority in the House will help stop further damage from the Obama agenda, which bodes well for future employment, incomes, profits, and business activity levels--as well as stock prices.

The market is doing better because of quantitative easing. Open your eyes to government manipulation.

The parties do not control wall street as we have seen. otherwise the national debt would be apoid justas the bailout to large banks have been with a profit.Wal street took actions that is makig their businesses profitab;e';cutting the bottom line. But so has individuals in payig off debt ans saving more. Only the goernamnt has been rpointig moeny and contiuing borrowing thus being bailed out by china . In the end businees and any intelligent person know the bil wit interest wil be coming. They are preparing the ebst they can for that day.Its really as simple as that:IMO.Even states in all but a few cases are way ahead of the fedral governamnt ithis.
