Dow up 60 percent since Obama took Office

It is proof that the Republican criticism of Obama being unfriendly to big business is a myth. This President, like his recent predecessors, are all tools of the Wall St. bankers and corporations. In fact, the Democrats, the so-called party of working people, have seen the stock market increase more than under the previous President:

60 percent: Increase in the Dow Jones Industrial average during the first three years of President Barack Obama's term, up 4,771 points to Friday's close of 12,720 as his fourth year begins.

-24 percent: Decline in the Dow during President George W. Bush's second term from 2005 to 2009, dropping 2,522 points to 7,949.

-1 percent: Decline in the Dow during President Bush's first term from 2001 to 2005, dropping 116 points to 10,471.

55 percent: Increase in the Dow during President Bill Clinton's second term from 1997 to 2001, increasing 3,744 points to 10,588.
