    Question Stocks notch a fifth straight week of gains; will you thank Obama?


    The Standard and Poor's 500 index closed up for the year on Friday. The Dow Jones industrial average turned positive Thursday. The Nasdaq composite picked up 20.6 points, or 0.4%, to 4,795.65.

    Reports on hiring, manufacturing and construction spending showed the U.S. economy is doing fairly well.

    Industrial, consumer and technology stocks benefited from the more positive outlook. Energy and materials stocks climbed as oil and precious metals prices rose.

    Do you hail him for this? When stocks go down, do you create threads asking if people blame him? I've never seen any.

    The stock market has always done much better under Democratic Presidential administrations.
    Always.

    Just the other day he was blamed for an increase in gas prices.

    Was that deserved?

    What did he do to make the stock market gains? Why didn't you blame him when it dropped?

    That is only because of the dot com bubble and the real estate bubble. Neither president had much to do with the stock market.

    It amazes how you liberals like to hail a democratic president yet don't give the same praise to a republican congress, which has more control over the economy than a president. Well, not all liberals, just idiots like you and your socks.

    Pretty devastating to certain arguments, Right?

    Right. Democratic administrations have always seen higher stock investment returns than republican administrations since the DOW and S&P have been keeping records.

    The Stupid Right hate these statistics but every administration has proved the rule,Especially OBAMA'S.





    Just imagine the gains we could see after another eight years of a Democratic administration.
    It boggles the mind.

    Surely the credit must go to a Republican Congress, though, Right?
