BREAKING: Dow Jones Closes Above 13,000 For The First Time Since May 2008

Fairly amazing how quick the the far right flipped from Obama is just making things worse, to its none of his doing that's causing things to get better.

One thing is for sure, its getting harder and harder make the case that Obama is making things worse!

its funny watching people who constantly whine about wall street, the rich and those with investment income not being taxed enough crowing proudly about this news when they think it polishes up their turd of a president's re-election chances

Dow 13,000. Sounds like the rich are getting richer.
 
Personally, I just do it to show that if the president should take all the blame for everything from spoiled milk to head lice, simply because he''s president, he should also get to take the credit for good things.

Honestly, I don't think he's due that much applause. I just love calling out the hypocrite president hater's I suppose.

Forum posting is nothing more than entertainment to me.
 
You really shoulda gave Merle some props on that post bro. Just sayin'....

good song...

I said he had it all figured out years ago. "Merel had it all figured out years ago. Rainbow stew"


Personally, the stock market goes up, it goes down and up. I don't give much credit or blame to the Office of the President for the stock market. Don't care who is in the Office.

What an angry little post you have.

And, it seems you missed my first post in this thread:

"Good news indeed! My business also more than doubled in income last year. It seems we have an upward trend going here!!!

Bill Maher said his donation of a million dollars to the Obama super pac was actually kind of selfish on his part, because he knew that if the GOP candidates get elected and we go back to the same deregulation, supply side economics of the past, he would lose much more than a million.

Thank you President Obama!
 
So does this mean we have more of the 1% to hate?
 
The DOW is not the only indicator worth paying attention to. Though I have seen most economic indicators improving over the last half year...this is not a GREAT sign.

Good yes....great NO.

Yes I know, it is why I said grow some. Signs overall are things may slowly start going back up.

Well sir, besides having great taste in American music and good recall, you also seem to have a pretty good grip on reality.
 
Moments ago, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed over 13,000 for the first time since May 19, 2008. The stock market is now up over 56 percent since Obama took office. <snip>

Thank you Mr. President. SOME of us are actually paying attention out here. Looking forward to your next term. ;)

Yeah, thanks for waiting around and doing relatively nothing to relieve the burden on the middle class as you pandered to the banks and wallstreet once again. You really knew and understood well that the economy couldn't remain in the crapper forever and if you just stall long enough, things would eventually get better on their own without you having to do a damned thing to help out Middle America as Rich-as-**** America takes the rest of us to the cleaners yet again. Woot....Status-Quo!

The interesting thing about that is that most of my friends who play the stock market claim that they aren't making anything worth noting in the market anymore. Most of them are looking for other avenues to invest in, and getting completely out of the stock market.

Interesting indeed. I would be happy to pass them on my financial guru's contact info if they are interested.

It's a common misperception that Wall Street is the economy. Now I'm not blaming Obama for this. It's a long held mistaken belief.

We saw this just a few years ago. We know how that ended.

Apparently, you missed the tax reductions for the middle class, all the state jobs that were saved due to the stimulus funds to the states, increased access to health care, and the largest increase in manufacturing jobs since the 90's.

Yeah..."tax reductions". Jobs save by "stimulus funds". I mean if I were a bank, yeah. Unemployment shot up to near 10%, staid there for a good long while. We didn't need "tax reductions", we needed work projects. Didn't get **** less you were Wall Street or a Bank. The rest of us had to strap in and ride this bull to the end.

What did Bush II really do for us? Not a whole lot of anything. Thank you Status Quo.

Of course, 85% of the country's wealth is owned by the top 20% of the population. That's why we need to end supply side economics, not continue it as the GOP propose.

Prices have been going up since 2003, and that will continue as we get closer to peak oil. The US military has warned we may see gas shortages as soon as 2015.



That's what happens with inflated house prices.

Hard to have consumer demand when most of the money is concentrated at the top. We need to get enough progressives elected to congress to correct our tax system as we had to do after the last depression.

Your posts seem to have a glass half empty outlook. You aren't going to try to tell me that my business more than doubling is not really a good thing, are you?

Yeah, I've heard it all before. You'll change your tune once you devolve past language.

It beats the Wall Street welfare programs that have been shoved on us the last 4 years.

I have no idea what your business is. It could be good......or not.

Are you opposed to tax reductions? Are you opposed to the millions of state jobs that were saved by the stimulus funds? Unemployment shot up due to the worst recession since the great depression. The president and the democrats put together the American Jobs Act as well, which the GOP shot down.

I'm opposed to legislation which is mathematically at odds with reality.

Yeah and thanks for the "We tried to help you, but the other side shot us down" excuse. You Republocrats are great with that one.

The only one I remember is the one that both parties agreed to prevent the collapse of the world economy. If we do what the Democrats propose and once again establish the firewall between investment banks and commercial banks, we won't be put in that position in the future.

Let me reassure you, it is a very good thing.
