"I suppose that's accurate if you consider 7.5% almost 11%." what do you mean? For me, the great presidents get us out of holes. Lincoln did that at great cost but for great long term gain. FDR did well. John, you and i lived thru reagan. That last year of carter was a horror. Reagan who was the hated right winger restored american self confidence both internationally and domestically. And he was a buckley con, not a neocon. Remember the neocons blasted him for working with gorby and they didnt like it one bit when he bugged out of lebanon after the marine baracks attack. Now its obamas turn to clean up a terrible mess. I dont expect perfection and i wish him well. I like the slow and steadiness of his presidency so far. He seems poised beyond his years. Markets i suspect are missing the point---no instant fixes but next year at this time, things will be getting better and forecasts going forward should be even better. (i hope)
