If anything -- since day #1 -- he should be shown watching the bull fed and injected with every steroid you can think of.

The stock market Index's have all surged incredibly higher since he took office ... where was the dow at on his inaug day -- 7K? Where is it now -- like 11K?

Sometimes accepting some severe short-term pain is the best thing for the long run.

The patient needs open heart surgery -- it needs to feel the deep and depressing pain. It needs to hurt. It needs to suffer. It needs misery. But it will be better off for it.

It doesn't need daily injections of pain killers, other feel good drugs, and steroids.

Just let it suffer and get out of its way. If it means innocent people have to suffer along with it --- and suffer worse than those who caused the problem --- that's perfect.

Good Post Drugs (or who ever it is that hacked in to your Nerdy Trail account).

For what it's worth you are right about the market, but the feeling is, that it's a lot of foreign money that's come in and have brought/supported it to it's current levels.

As far as your open heart surgery analagy, I think that's what's currently happening with the economy. The president has tried his injections, steriods and so on and it really hasn't worked. He needs to find a medicine that stimulates job growth. Unfortunately, many people that are suffering are the middle class types working more than one job, trying to keep up on a mortgage that is probably under water. These people do not get any type of relief from the government and are suffering.

For the record, I just posted the picture because I thought it was funny. But I look at the bull representing more of the overall economy than just the stock market. I understand that it's not all his fault and even though his was dealt a crummy hand, I think he hasn't played those cards very well.
