When stocks rise significantly during a presidential term, the incumbent usually wins re-election in a landslide
"From Robert Prechter: "[W]e deem an election a landslide victory if the incumbent competed for and won re-election by defeating the nearest competitor with an electoral vote margin of 40% or greater...
We define a large positive stock market change as a net gain of 20% or more in the preceding three-year period...
We conclude that a large net positive stock market change during the three years prior to the election is highly likely to be associated with a landslide victory for the incumbent as opposed to a landslide loss."
Wait a minute. I've heard many a lefty argue that the president has nothign to do with stock prices. Just like they are arguing the president has nothing to do with gas prices. Of course when they weren't high it was all his doing. lol
Stock market is inflated because all the money, 16 trillion, handed out by the fed to all these banks in the US and overseas is being dumped back into our market. I posted a thread about it the other day or evidence of it. Add in the QE money too. Banks aren't lending is so are gambling with it again and when it goes poof again guess who they will call on to bail em out again??
Obama's Presidency isn't over yet. Let's wait and see what the Dow looks like in Jan 2013 or 2017 before judging. With little real growth backing up this stock market rally, it's would not be unfathomable for the Dow to quickly drop back to the sub-10,000 range.

Lets be real, when you have a treasury that prints money 24/7 and the machines are smoking, of course the DOW is gonna look good for BHO.... Our dollar ain't worth SH*T!!!! This has NO bearing on the job he is doing!!! If printing money is his job, he gets a A+!! If handling the economy is his job, he gets a F!!!!

Interesting.
And which one of those 5 falsely raised the market by dumping the US Treasury into the stock market?
Conversely, of the twelve Presidents to serve since Herbert Hoover left office in 1933, only one has managed the epic feat of seeing stocks fall during their tenure in office.

I'd like to thank the OP for pointing out that The FED's monitary policy of QE is being intentionally used to pick the POTUS.
The current rise in the stock market is a result of QE by both The FED and the ECB. They will do their best to continuing to print and keep liquidity in the markets until the election. Obama has been a very good friend to the Big Banks.
That list is proof that Dwight D. Eisenhower was the last good Republican President.
Everyone since then has been either bad or horrendous.
