When Obama took office in his first term the Dow opened at 8,279.63, its at 12,932.73 today. Actually if you really want to look at it, from around the time Obamas $787 billion stimulus on Feb. 13, 2009 took effect, the Dow has basically doubled in Obamas term. The Nasdaq opened at 1,520.76 on the day at Obama took office, today its at 2,937.29, almost double from when Obama took office.
You guys may not like many aspects of the Obama administration, in many cases rightfully so, but his administration has been an enormous lift for the stock market from the misery of Bushs second term.
