It's up 20% max after inauguration. Far less than Bush's rise. Like I said, it only hurts the economy when the gov't gets involved, but it sure wins votes to act like Santa Claus.
And how large was that rise after 1 year of Bush's tenure? Were we better off at the end of Bush's reign than at the beginning?
That's the measure of a good president. That's what made Clinton, Reagan, and FDR successful.
I'm sure you apply the SAME STANDARD to your hero Bush right? DOW lost what? 50%?
Moaning about a blip on the radar screen compared to what this country just lost (TRILLIONS) under the previous GOP rule, is downright comical.
You read my post and know I was not happy with Bush on many, many issues.
So no, he was not my hero. My business flourished under Bush and I give him full credit for being pro business. When his 2003 tax breaks hit was when my business went out the roof, that allowed people to have more money left over to spend.
Do you hold Lord Balfor accountable for a small blip when he gives him credit for a gallon of milk going down 0.05? Or when he tells us daily that Obama has caused the stock market to rise? You cannot have it both ways, which one is it? when it goes up Obama gets credit, when it comes down he blames Bush.

It is called 9/11. The stock market did not fall because of anything Bush did in his first year, it fell because of 9/11. Anyone that is comparing the increase under Bush versus the increase under Obama needs to remember that. If you factor in 9/11 the stock market increased WAY more under Bush then under Obama.
Obama Seen as Anti-Business by 77% of U.S. Investors
Who would have ever though it.
Barry Obama is to blame for the recent slide on Wall Street.
The global quarterly poll of investors and analysts who are Bloomberg subscribers finds that 77 percent of U.S. respondents believe Obama is too anti-business and four-out-of-five are only somewhat confident or not confident of his ability to handle a financial emergency.
U.S. investors overwhelmingly see President Barack Obama as anti-business and question his ability to manage a financial crisis, according to a Bloomberg survey.
Investors overwhelmingly see Obama as the anti business Presidunce.
They feel his does not have the ability to handle a financial crisis.

And to think some people who have no clue were trying to spin this recent slide on Scott Brown when we now find out that the investor simply do not trust Obama at all.
"We the people" have spoken and are against Obama and his policies and decisions and now the "investors" have spoken, they do not trust Obama with their money.
Gosh liberals will hate this news.
I have said it many times, Obama could not run a kool aid stand without going bankrupt.
Every time the stock market looks to be recovering, 0bama comes up with a new threat to regulate another part of private business. this last time was his punishments on all banks with his new tax.
Obama's policies seem to be better for smaller businesses, which I am happy about. I can't stand big business. These mega corps act like they know what's best for everyone. I wish he (or Bush) hadn't bailed out the banks. Too big to fail? Oh well!!
