Off the Charts: Among the Best Presidents or the Worst, in Economic Terms

Poor people have lots to say about the evil stock market!
Greed is the devil

That's a fascinatingly dimwitted and false thing to say; do you have any proof of that, or is this another of your typically stupid "because you say so"?

But then, unthinking Liberal dimwits like you like to dismiss the fact that when Republicans attempted SS reform to make it a REAL retirement plan, the idiots from your side of the aisle went ballistic and insisted on the status quo; a ponzi scheme used to fund Federal deficits.

You're either a very politically confused dimwit, or merely THAT stupid. One thing we do know, you aren't very smart, lack a formal education and are economically clueless; the perfect Obama voter/supporter.

Im curious; how did You vote in the last ten Presidential elections?
 
You rednecks are the reason stocks do soo bad under republicans!
You don't invest enough
Rich people don't say stock market worshipers
Poor people do

I invest plenty you repugnant dimwit; but then, you're retarded and think that people in Ventura are rednecks.

so its wrong for the wealthy to share the good fortune this country provides them with the people?

Only when it is forced theft by Government for hair brained re-distribution schemes intended to dupe low information voters into electing corrupt political apparatchiks to office.

The wealthy give away BILLIONS towards very good causes annually. Money that is much better spent and gets to those in need rather than pissed away by a massive ineffectual bureaucracy.

I've done a political analysis of your list by party and major event. What we can surmise is that of the top ten, there were 4 Republican Presidencies and 6 Democratic Presidencies. Of those, five were war related recoveries, one was pre great depression collapse and three post-recession.

So if you had a brain, which you don’t because you came to the simplistic argument that you did, you would see that the reason for the jump in stocks came after bad recessions or as a result of wars and had nothing to do with who was President or REAL stock market growth, but rather getting back to their previous levels; and unless you think 6 out of 4 is a significant data point and that Obama's stock market isn't slightly above where it was when he started office.

In the middle Five, still better than the bottom ten, one was a Democratic Presidency and four were Republican Presidencies and many were pre-recessionary or run-up to war.

Of the bottom ten, SIX were Democratic Presidencies and FOUR were Republican.

So if we use your simpleton analysis and ignore reality and the facts, I would say that what you have shown is that the Democratic Party had more to do with failure and malaise than success in the stock market.

But rational intelligent people would look at the data and economic events and correctly surmise that political party had little or NOTHING to do with stock market increases.

How does this apply to the Obama Presidency? Well, if you like making rich Wall Street bankers even more wealthy than before and watch those at the bottom suffer even greater; you’re going to LOVE Obama.

And yes Dud; you really are THAT stupid and THAT simple minded.
