Unfortunately I believe you are correct. But it is damn fun to latch the left blame/deflect the facts off on everyone else.

Oh really?
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) U.S. stocks gained ground Tuesday, with the Dow and S&P 500 closing at fresh five-year highs amid mostly strong earnings reports.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 0.4% and S&P 500 rose 0.5%, advancing once again to their highest levels since December 2007. The two indexes have been hitting new highs since the start of the year.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell last week to the lowest level in five years.
The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly unemployment benefit applications dropped 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 330,000. That's the fewest since January 2008.
The four-week average, a less volatile measure, fell to 351,750. That's also the lowest in nearly five years.
So basically the stocks are the highest level since Bush left office and unemployment is at it's lowest since Bush left office.

IB let me ask you this. Would the graph be any different if any one else was President. I noticed also that the Bush years was nothing but a downward plunge on that graph.

Would certainly hope so! Reigning in spending is one of the first requirements, and Odumbo has demonstrated that he will not do that! Quantitative Easing (started in 2007 and continued throughout Odumbo's administration) is a demonstrably great deal for the bankers, but it's not a great deal for the average American.

Why do the idiots on here think that if you oppose Obama, you automatically support Bush or Romney? False assumption.

That's because both the George W. Bush and Obama eras have been characterized by high levels of fiscal profligacy, coupled with ultra-easy money/weak dollar policies with which they go hand-in-hand.
One accommodates the other, and that's been the case for over ten years.
With respect to fiscal practices and monetary accommodation, Obama-era economic policy is simply that of the George W. Bush era, extended and expanded with ZIRP and serial iterations of QE.

That really is amazing, isn't it? So many people view almost everything through a strictly partisan lens and make no effort to engage in critical thinking.

+1 And the "housing bubble" was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back -- and fingerprints from both parties are all over that.

This is not about supporting Bush or Romeny it is noting the fact that the trend continues no matter who the President is.

Which seems to imply that no matter what party is in power, the policies will continue. It takes lots of money and connections to get elected and once elected those who paid the way want things run so they can make money either directly or indirectly. Big banks, big investment firms, big companies are going to get the money policies they want no matter which party is in the White House. Don't for a minute think it is going to change.
