What you argue cannot be proved nor disproved definitely, so it's pointless arguing over it. The fact of the matter is that it's not as straight forward as you claim to give Obama 100% credit for the recovery of the DOW and US markets. Remember, Bush deployed similar 'stimulus' strategies to combat the economic decline back before Obama ever stepped foot into the Oval office. And it's hard to say the effect of these on the recovery because you must realize that anything Congress or the President does isn't instantaneous effective and takes time to start reaping benefits, so your claims are wildly premature in my opinion. Only time will tell, and by far it's too premature to do so now. Indicators of economic recovery go far beyond just the stock markets, which is why your claims are naive. You're very narrow minded if you think otherwise.
With unemployment still at 9.5%, it will be interesting to watch its trend, especially the impact of the temporary Census jobs. Again like the stock markets, unemployment fluctuates depending on many different variables, i.e. seasonal trends, and what not. It's too soon to use any one variable, whether it's the stock markets, unemployment rate, whatever as an indicator of the long term recovery.
It's amusing how you accuse everyone who disagrees with your claim as a thoughtless Republican. It just sheds doubt on how objective and unbiased your claims are. Goes to show your partisanship is just as much of the problem as the Republicans, the party of No. I did not vote this past Presidential election. I have never voted actually. I am registered as an independent. So calling me a dirty Republican or w/e is hilarious.
I used to think you were a pretty smart guy, but then again that was more towards math. I see that your abilities in other areas are rather disappointing.
