Here's another one - through late last year.



Stock Market Performance By U.S. President
Quote:
With three weeks still to go in his term, the return in the Dow Jones Industrial Average during Barack Obama’s time as President, which began on January 20, 2009, is 149% (see chart below). Only Calvin Coolidge’s five and a half years as President during the Roaring ‘20s (255.9%), Bill Clinton’s eight years (226.6%) and Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s 12-plus years digging out of the Great Depression (194.4%) have topped it. ...

By annualized return, the stock market performance under Obama (18%) actually ranks second, behind only Coolidge’s whopping 25.5% average annual return. Obama’s annualized return is nearly four times the average annual return (4.7%) of a U.S. President.

Trump has done nothing for the economy. We are still in Obama's economy until Trump screws it up.
Do you have today's Pravda? I like to keep up with Russia.

So aren't you glad that Trump did away with the Bush family and Clinton family (Obama 2.0)? Don't see how anyone could argue against that.



(didja think I was a Bush supporter? you guys just don't get it. )

That chart shows that the DOW average increased from 8000 to over 19,000 while Obama was President.

That's far more impressive than a few months of gains under Trump.

Are you really, truly that daft? Do you think Obama's term ended at the end of 2010?

Here is another chart of the same thing, this time through the middle of 2015.



Here's a nice overview here:

THE VERDICT: A comprehensive look back at Obama's jobs record

Since Obama took office in January 2009, the US economy has added 11,250,000 people to total nonfarm payrolls.



Obama is roughly in the middle of the pack for recent presidents in raw jobs created.



Etc.

Trump still winning.

People love him for it. He still fill venues beyond capacity everywhere he decides to hold rallies. This in especially important battleground states.

#MAGA.
I bet you miss your old job at Pravda/Xinhua...

Calling people names simply means you lack argument.

Here's the thing. If Obama's economic policies were good for the economy then Hillary Clinton would be President now.

Instead, under Obama's economy, his party
  • lost the US House
  • lost the US Presidency
  • lost the US Senate
  • lost control of the majority of Governor's houses
  • lost control of 67 of 98 partisan state chambers
  • 1100+ democrats lost their seats to Republicans
  • Every special election since Nov 8th.
This speaks to how well the Obama economy worked for people.



Got a chart for that too? Oh and BTW, you never answered my question.

Waldo,

Why has fewer jobs been added during Trump's first six months in office than the exact same six month period over each of the last five years??

This post does nothing to refute those charts James posted. Why don't you address the data in them directly?
