You're entitled to your spin. But since i've been talking about the Bush presidency (comparing it to the Reagan and Clinton presidencies, Reagan had a Democratic congresses too you know), my numbers are accurate. We won't know the final numbers till Obama is sworn in in January. But the S&P is down about 30% and the dow is down nearly 2k for Bush's presidency. By historical standards, that's pathetic. The S&P roughly quadrupled during Clinton's 8 years. I expect Obama to be nowhere near the economic disaster/failure that Bush has been. If nothing else, just based on historical norms. Bush has been special, he's defied the historic norms. He's been a failure. SD
