If you have noticed the Church of Obama is out in good force proclaiming the economic success, and of course only because of what Obama did. Yet where do they base this economic up turn, the Dow Jones stock index. Interesting when the Dow Jones hit the highest of high during the Bush administration, the soon to become Obamites proclaimed the worst economy ever. Why did they say this, Wall Street might be doing well, but Main Street is suffering. Now that a Democrat is in office Wall Street numbers matter.

I remember for a couple months everytime that bum (Obama) would speak the dow would go down like a rock. It's only going up or holding steady now cause of large sums of money the big dogs are getting, in the end the small business owner and american is left out.

If you look at the market you will see that it is fairly flat.s of bad news There is very little growth and most increases are caused by speculators. You receive several report of bad economic news and the market goes down. The investors look at the price of stocks and see that there are deals to be had. Stocks of companies that are profitable but selling below market value. They buy theses stocks and force the market reacts and goes up until the next economic reports are due out and then it goes down.
When the market was down earlier this year the president's people were saying that it is not an indicator of how well his programs are working. They are doing what every politician does and uses stats only when they benefit their point of view.

Who knows? I know the economy is in such a mess and as far as I can tell, Obama is trying his best to get some of it lined out. It will take quite some time to do though. I hope some of it happens soon though, like healthcare.
