Anyone that wants to invest gets richer

Thanks Obama. This stock market is making me a lot more money than it did under Bush. I will remember this in all future elections.

If you didnt make a lot of money in the market from 2000-2008 you didnt try.

Dow was about 11k in 2000, then hit a trough in 2002, then raised to about 14k in early 2008 before plummeting to under 9k in early 2009.

Since then it's climbed steadily and has more than doubled.

100%+ gains >>>> 25% gains

Of course, placing any credit or blame at the feet of a president ignores the role of the Federal Reserve as it pertains to the market.
