It seems you desperately want to bloviate with strawmen.
Prove it.

The Iraq War was a mistake - even Trump argues that.
They had nothing to do w/ 9/11.
War should only be a last resort when there is a direct and immediate thread to our national security.
Poor fiscal leadership. Bush spent like crazy.
Obamacare was a massive intervention into our healthcare system that was built on a massive pile of lies and straight party vote. The only reason it wasn't universal Marxist care is that Obama and Democratic liars knew even they could not sell that to the American public.
Well, President Obama must've done something right because the S&P 500 went up 235%. I could give a flying fuck about the GDP growth.
They also knew that once it was passed, it would be very hard to rescind even though they didn't even know what this bill contained. Then, with Hillary's election and a Democratic Congress, they could take it to the next Marxist level.
Fortunately, they didn't account for the American people they had left behind in their desire for political power and got Trump and larger Republican majorities instead. Democrats are too arrogant and smarmy to learn
Ummm...that's because the chart only shows Obama through February 2010.
Yes, Bush most definitely gave us the subprime bubble and subsequent collapse.
It was Bush's regulators who lowered lending standards beginning in 2004. That's how we got NINJA loans.
If you’re talking about popularity and the sea change in American politics that occurred under Reagan you’re right. Outside of that...not so much. His legacy on domestic policy was often laughable, though on foreign policy, often derided as a light weight, and he was, but you’re right his foreign policy, passed the test of time. His legislative legacy was a joke compared to LBJ. So if you tack on a few years, we’ll Reagan doesn’t hold a candle to LBJ.
Since the start of the Russia Tax Cut, the DJIA is flat for the year (< 1%), and down for Q2.

If the stock market is what's important to you then you ought to be thanking helicopter Ben and Yellen.
Edit: And since they did create this market bubble how long you planning on holding all equities?
Obama did, and got the ARRA and ACA passed.
Then Conservatives lied about the ACA during the 2010 elections and gained power, then didn't do anything with the power their gained. Other than the Sequester, which was a disaster.
That chart could run to the end of his term and it wouldn't look less anemic. Obama's recovery was the worst in American history. You can't put enough lipstic on that pig to cover it up.
Carter had better job growth over his four years than every Conservative President since.
Wrong; but then, you are consistent. Franklin Raines gave us the mortgage mess and when Republicans tried to reign it in, Democrats obstructed. Watch the video until you get it okay?

I don't mean to be an ass but do you understand who/what the Fed is and what they do? Not everyone does which is why I ask (and based on your question)
So making money in the stock market isn't important to you? Maybe you don't make enough money in your garbage truck driver job to invest but most Americans do invest in the market and I'm sure they are giddy with the $$$$$ trillions of returns and wealth they received during President Obama's eight years.
And who said I hold "all equities"? Was that another fantasy that you dreamed up? I have investments in equities, bonds, real estate and cash. I trimmed my exposure to equities in January. I've really done quite well since President Obama was elected. Like I said, I was able to retire five years early.
America Loves President Obama!!!
You really need to stick to facts and stop making shit up. Otherwise, you'll go on my IGNORE list like Postmortem Pussy, Turd Defector and Text Driver's a moron.
Reagan cut the budget indiscriminately, but bloated it in others - he actually grew gov't & bureaucracy during his tenure. His economic policies weren't sustainable, and (like Trump's) were designed for a feel-good re-election oriented boost and not long-term prosperity.
The Soviets were buried in debt any way that you slice it - they were through when Reagan took office, it just had to become a formality.
I give Reagan high marks for public leadership and restoring confidence to the nation, but his policies were - by & large - a disaster.
Since the start of the Trump/Russia tax cut, the DJIA is flat for the year, and was down for Q2.
Fed's got nothing to do with that.
