Inode the S&P 500 was at 805 (and in a downward spiral) on inauguration day... closed at 929 yesterday, a 15.4% gain. By your own definition Obama is doing a great job.

The DOW is roughly where it was when Obama took office. And it is substantially below where it was the day he was elected. And far below where it was when it became clear he WOULD BE elected.

But that's beside the point. I've asked you to tell me what, specifically, Obama has done that has saved us from a depression.

Yep. The S&P tripled during Clinton.

It fell 40% during Bush's eight years.

And now it's up 15% so far under Obama.
