simple QE1 and QE2. If Obama convinced Bernanke to do it then you can give him credit, otherwise its the Fed. one problem is that QE is what is driving the dollar down and oil and commodities up. so how much better off are you?
QE2 ends in june, so stay tuned.

Not relevant. Barry Soetoro himself said that the daily fluctuations in the market make it an unreliable indicator of economic health.

This is a great question actually. Where ARE the pro-Obama threads?
Why haven't the many left-leaners who reside here on off-topic started much of any pro-Obama threads, telling us all of the great things he is doing and all that he has accomplished to help improve America?
NJ Stinks, you may have unwittingly made the best point here today. The reason why there aren't many pro-Obama threads is painfully obvious.
screw the market. The only thing I'm worry now, is how much money I have left before next payday. I'm really pissed about it, and nothing, you or your divine leadershit can do, ass holes.

this is the scary part. I have been reading about this valuation.....and how it applies. The scary part is when the market starts going the other way, the perceived value will really seem much lower and a huge ass whipping will take place ........if you read the tea leaves that way.
That's precisely what happened whenever anyone posted something positive about Bush from 1/2001-1/2009.
Funny how that happens...Bush did not get hammered until late into his first term. I joined in 2002 and other than the election controversy and calling Bush a vegetable I jumped on Bush mostly for Iraq.
And even into his second term nothing in comparison to what has being done to Obama since before HE was elected.

So you now condone killing grandchildren and invading countries that did not attack us? I mean, I bet there is not one post against Soetoro using drones to murder innocent civilians and shelling Kadaffy. One might think it was not the actions but only the man you objected to.
How quaint.

NJ Stinks, you may have unwittingly made the best point here today. The reason why there aren't many pro-Obama threads is painfully obvious.
Painfully is the key word here. Every time I've started a thread on something good that has happened - for instance, this thread where the stock market is doing the opposite of crashing - I've got Isbets telling me the sky is really falling but I just don't realize it. Gl45 hijacks the thread to discuss take-home pay instead of 401(k) gains and Fastball High And Inside is more than happy to oblige. Next PA rushes in to toss out the GWB card just like he accuses us lefties of doing almost daily. :jump:
Then there is Tom declaring that he hammered GWB early on. Round up the usual suspects, why don't you? (What doesn't Tom hammer :sleeping: ?) And last but not least so far, we have the ever objective Delay sneaking the price of oil/cost of gas - always bad news for the prez - into this thread.
Root canal is more pleasant than authoring a pro-Obama thread around here. I should know. I've experienced both.

What do you expect to happen? We all can see the stock market has gone nowhere but up since Obama took office.
What is there to debate? It's an easily verifiable fact.
Perhaps you should have elaborated and stated exactly why you think Obama should be credited with the rise, instead of telling us "I don't know how he does it." I don't know how he does it really wasn't very helpful in terms of creating a sustained thread.
Maybe you should have instead told us what policies Obama put into place that led the way to this stock market rise. Or perhaps inflation really does have something to do with it as lsbets wrote. His reply was not the first time I have heard that explanation.

You don't realize it because you are willfully blind to the obvious. This man you worship and adore is a complete and total failure. Many of us pointed out his shortcomings before the election - no experience, no qualifications, etc.... Yet the ignorant voted for him, and some sadly still defend this man.
Instead of countering my point, that the value of the dollar has plunged and the stock market gains are a sham, your response is that I say the sky is falling. I knew you wouldn't look the information up. You are typical of the Obama supporters who are still out there, too lazy intellectually to be bothered with any truth that might disrupt your fantasy world where everything is great. Too concerned with worshiping and fawning over your prince charming than looking at what a disaster the man is.

Bernanke: QE2 has helped improve the stock market (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/bernanke-qe2-has-helded-improve-the-stock-market-2011-01-13)
By Ronald D. Orol
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke said Thursday that a controversial $600 billion bond buying plan has contributed to a stronger stock market. "Our policies have contributed to a stronger stock market just as they did in March 2009 when we did the first iteration of this program," Bernanke said at a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. forum on small businesses. "A stronger economy helps small businesses more than larger businesses. Interest rates are higher but that's mostly because the news is better. It has responded to a stronger economy and better expectations." The $600 billion bond buying plan follows a completed effort to buy $1.75 trillion in government bonds and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-backed mortgage securities.
right from the horses mouth.

First off, the only guy I ever sort of worshiped and adored was my father. And he's no longer with us.
Secondly, of course I looked up the relationship between the stock market gains and the value of the dollar. Isn't that an argument that can be made all the time? I mean - when the Dow hit 14,000 under GWB - wasn't the same reasoning applicable? And if so, was it?
Pinko Stinko,
instead to give a couple of billion to the brazilian for oil drilling, give it to the people who are now suffering in the south, then I wouldn't mind pay at the pump $5 a gallon. Until then you can kiss my ass.
You did mean "Until then you can kiss my ILLITERATE ass. Didn't you?

And half came from a single employer when talking in terms of job gains...
Half of Last Month's New Jobs Came from a Single Employer — McDonald's
According to the unemployment data released this morning, the economy added only 54,000 jobs (http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/employers-add-fewest-jobs-in-8-months-unemployment-jumps-to-91percent/2011/06/03/AGxhOvHH_story.html), pushing the unemployment rate up to 9.1 percent. However, this report from MarketWatch (http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2011/06/03/mcdonald%E2%80%99s-and-other-may-jobs-fun/) suggests the data is much worse than that:
McDonald’s ran a big hiring day on April 19 — after the Labor Department’s April survey for the payrolls report was conducted — in which 62,000 jobs were added. That’s not a net number, of course, and seasonal adjustment will reduce the Hamburglar impact on payrolls. (In simpler terms — restaurants always staff up for the summer; the Labor Department makes allowance for this effect.) Morgan Stanley estimates McDonald’s hiring will boost the overall number by 25,000 to 30,000. The Labor Department won’t detail an exact McDonald’s figure — they won’t identify any company they survey — but there will be data in the report to give a rough estimate.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/half-last-months-jobs-came-single-employer-mcdonalds_573220.html
This can not be good....
I mean mosty, NJ and the rest can NOT like this a bit. Where is the outrage over McDonalds hiring so many? Those damn low paying jobs are killing us...right mosty??
You deserve a job today,
so get up and get away, to McBama's!
Hey mostie...if all those new hires unionize, how many jobs do you think we can count on McDonalds creating next month?

150,000...number of jobs expected to be created last month
54,000.....number of actual jobs created
50%......number of those jobs that were at McDonalds
Amusing little side-note......McDonalds was granted an exemption to Obama-care.

Obama’s Approval Hits All-Time Low Among Poor and Segment of Middle Class, Says Gallup
Thursday, August 04, 2011
By Terence P. Jeffrey (/source/74693)
CNSNews.com) - A week that began with President Barack Obama going on national television to pitch his vision for a debt-limit deal in terms that pitted “millionaires and billionaires” against “everyone else,” ended with the president receiving his lowest-ever weekly approval ratings in the Gallup poll (http://www.gallup.com/poll/124922/Presidential-Approval-Center.aspx) from the poorest Americans (those earning less than $2,000 per month) and from one segment of the middle class (those earning between $5,000 and $7,499 per month).
In fact, according to Gallup, Obama enjoys no more approval among the poorest Americans today than he does among the richest—and he enjoys significantly less approval among middle class Americans earning between $5,000 to $7,499 than he does among the richest Americans as measure by the income brackets reported by Gallup (those earning $7,500 per month or more).
Over the last seven weeks, Obama’s approval rating has dropped 11 percentage points among the poorest Americans—and 14 points among middle-class Americans earning between $5,000 and $7,499.

If there's anything you can count on, Team Obama and the media will hatchet-job the repub candidate and running mate. They'll have to, to get their base interested enough to go back to the polls. Exceptions being black Americans. That group does seem to be solidly behind Obama & I have no real problem with that....every other Left group, Obama is going to have to dance really hard to get em back to the polls given the economy & the fact nothing was done to improve the worsening situation until the congress stood its ground last week
