Nothing like a couple of down market days to put a spring in the step of Obama-hating GOP cultists.

It's amazing - I don't recall you ever posting happiness at the growth in your investments over the last 4 years due to the markets skyrocketing under Obama. Or crediting Obama with the growth. And now, a 180 and carping.

Two quick questions:
What has the overall change in the DOW been under Obama? What was the overall change in the DOW under his predecessor?
When the Dow is rising, which it generally has been doing on Obama's watch, you don't attribute the change to Obama, but when it falls, which it always does from time to time, even in the best of times, you blame that on Obama. Then you wonder why nobody takes you seriously.

If you have investments, then you know that the Obama era has been an extremely good one for investors.

Sorry, but Pugs have been brainwashed into saying that Obama had nothing to do with the markets doubling under his watch, but gets full blame for a couple of down days.

Hehe. I moved a ton of money back into US stocks in January 2009, on the theory that the departure of that half-wit Bush was bound to help investments in this country. So, I've enjoyed an incredible run over the past five years.

Well there you go....the performance of wall street improves as people get sick, die and spend more than they can afford on cures that aren't probably not legitimate.
I'm not sure what you're bragging about but maybe you might want to retrace your thoughts and words to their intrinsic meaning.

I'm not bragging about anything. I'm saying that trying to blame Obama for a vibrant stock market because of a temporary down turn is B.S.
What are you trying to say?

well you touted healthcare portfolio ..... probably not such a bad bet these days eh?
My point to you is that the health of wall street means the sickness of main street by and large these days.
Kinda shoots the whole idea of healthcare in the foot doesn't it?
Just sayin.

Wall Street and main Street don't have much in common these days. If you mean that the wealth increase enjoyed by the economic elite comes at the expense of the 99% I would agree.
But this thread was started with the claim that Obama is responsible for a stockmarket burp. I find this silly.

I didn't hear a word when the stock market broke records, did you? Obama gets all the blame and none of the credit....we had an amazing year and being down 200 points is nothing when you think of how much those of us who invest in the market made.
The righties are so silly..they want the market to fail, even though most pensions depend on the market...they just hate Obama that much.

Pugs have been largely mute about the stock markets for 4 years.
They never mention the good news for America. They view it as bad news. It just doesn't jive with their Obama-hate agenda.
Renee
Governor
As I repeat....they hate Obama more than they love their country
