Dow Is Up 85% Since Obama Took Office


Don't look now (careful Fox News viewers but this will defy your Fantasy World) but the Dow is up 85% since Barack Obama became president.

Any president would love an 85% gain in the Dow in 3 years time.  Yet this president barely gets a mention of such great news.

The Dow lost value under 8 years of George Bush.  He became the first president since Herbert Hoover to have the Dow lose money on his watch.  In fact, the Dow lost almost 2,700 points under George Bush.  But an 85% increase under Obama gets nary a mention.

Things aren't great.  But they are way better than when George Bush and the Republicans were in power.
