re: #8 bratwurst

My investment portfolio is worth about 20% more than it was the day before Obama took office. I realize that this is of no comfort to people looking for work, but the growth of the market between January 19, 2009 and today does, in fact, represent something of a pullback from economic woes for millions of Americans whether you like it or not.

The DJIA is up 66% from March of ‘09, when his economic policies started to take effect. The S&P is up 72% and the Nasdaq up 90% in that time period. The markets are all up and America has once again returned to its rightful place as the most admired, popular nation in the world, so of course the curmudgeons are unhappy.
