Do you REALLY think that is a reasonable metric -- when the DOW hit 14000 in 2007 under GWB and now, SIX YEARS LATER, 4.5 of which were under Obama, it stands at 15,000 and change?

Sure. It shows just how much Bush screwed this country.

Clinton was KING at raising the stock market. It's undeniable.



See that sharp PLUNGE there, Dave? That's your boy, Bush. If you credit him with the height previous, he gets the PLUNGE too!

The REAL question that ought to be asked is, "Why has it taken so long, and why is unemployment stuck at sky-hight rates?"

Very reasonable metric. Why don't or didn't you ask that question during bush's two terms...the Dow declined 1% during his first term and another 24% during his second term...by that METRIC, Obama is a freaking hero...
