The stock market is flirting with 12k instead of 3400; TARP has made a profit; the American automakers have turned a profit and are paying back. Doesn't Obama deserve some modicum of credit for that?

One trillion of the budget is the war spending Bush kept off the books, and Obama put back. Remember how we were lied to? We were told these evil wars would pay for themselves. That was the justification Bush used to put the costs on their own balance sheet.

"For those of you keeping score at home, the Dow closed at 7,949 on Bush's last day in office. That means it's gone up 50% since President Obama's inauguration."
