Thanks for reviving this thread.  It's nice to be reminded of how divorced from reality the ramblings of the forum's conservatives have been since before Obama even took office.

Nice!  Communist hellhole!  I forgot that one.  And 800 was ALMOST right - it's at 10,309. 

Actual stock market performance since inauguration for socialist commie?  Plus 25%.  

Actual stock market performance for free market guru George W., over eight years?  MINUS 25%!  Not to mention no jobs and income LOSSES!  Give me communist hellhole!!  

Sure thing. Conservatives are so divorced from reality you had to comment.

When the stock market did poorly Obama and company said that it had little to do with the administration's policies or the economy in general.  I guess now that it is rising somewhat the fraud will take credit.

And that hypocrisy is different than your own exactly how?  I know because I saw the graphs with highlights of the not even ELECTED Obama being blamed for market dips and crashes.  This is before Obama won the election!  And so now that we're higher than after the election, I heard, this is no joke, that we should call this the BUSH recovery!  No shiate!  The rationale was Bush did the bank bailouts and so gets credit for the economy not crashing.  I kid you not.

BTW, the hard part for you conservative geniuses isn't what I believe is the temporary "Obama" bubble in the stock market, it's that we had two huge tax cuts on capital under Bush and still couldn't do any better than a negative performance on the markets (after inflation, at least a 40% LOSS) and no jobs for a decade, and a gutted manufacturing industry, and huge deficits, and a bubble, and two recessions, one of them the greatest since the great depression.  In short, supply side FAILED - in every conceivable metric the economy was worse after two huge tax cuts than before (well, the top 1% and especially the top 1/10th of 1% did GREAT but that's it). 

Really, Greenspan said it all when he said "Flaw in the model that I perceived is the critical functioning structure that defines how the world works, so to speak." that put him in a "state of shocked disbelief."

THAT is supply side aka conservative economics - a flaw has been revealed in the model...

Windbag,

Uh, I believe it was your fellow wingnut Shimmy and your boy toy OMG who predicted the Dow would fall to 4000 and 800 respectively because of Obama.   Today (Feb. 17) the Dow closed at 10,309.  

DJII when Bush took office (Jan. 20, 2001): 10,587
DJII when Bush left office (Jan. 20, 2009): 7,949
Result: Eight years a net LOSS of 24.9%

DJII when Obama took office: 7,949
DJII Feb. 17, 2010: 10,309
Result to date: Net GAIN of 29.7%

So, who is divorced from reality? Hmmmm?????
