Only economic illiterates believe a bull in conjunction with a falling dollar is a positive reflection on the economy at large.

Thank you again President Obama for leading our country out of its worst recession since The Great Depression.

Greatly looking forward to your re-election in 2012.
With uneducated, easily influenced voters like you, it's no wonder our country is on the decline.

Why aren't they asking Obama to make their home values rise just like the Dow ?

You mean on Oct 13, 2008, when it went up 936 points?

CNNMoney.com Market Report - Oct. 13, 2008

After dropping 679 points two days earlier?

And two days before that, dropped by 508 points?

And then just two days later, dropped by 733 points!

Yes, we have a lot to be proud of during the Bush administration!

Indeed. Low unemployment, modest job creation, record stock market levels.

Obama has some big boots to fill.

Make sure if we give the moron credit for Wall St we mention the possible investigations going on right now with the Wall St issues.

We also must make sure he gets credit for things like rising oil cost, rising food and housing, rising health care cost, rising consumables and the list goes on and on.

You cannot cherry pick something good and leave out ALL of the massive bads things he is responsible for.


Thanks Presidunce Obama for giving us 23 months of record foreclosures and homeless people.

Thanks for the doubling of our gas cost.

Thanks for the rise in food prices.

Thanks for the record filing of personal and business bankruptcies.

Damn he is so good at this stuff and gets all the credit too!

Bush average unemployment was BELOW 6%

Bush had 54 consecutive months of JOB GROWTH.

Obama, well we all know his record.

Bush - Left America with it's worst recession since the Great Depression!

Obama - takes the Bush economic chaos he inherited, and turns the badly collapsing stock market into a soaring stock market in just two years.

Yes ... we know both Bush and Obama's record !!!

Under Control my ass, this thing is getting worse and worse by the minute, It's the media's job to let the public know that it's getting better so that nobody panics but i sure as hell ain't falling for their lies.

Thank you, gosh i like you your like me too, i am not fooled that easily never was never will be. In Obama's case, not fooled one iota. Media's job is to paint a pretty picture of everthing great concerning Obama no how bad it is.
