The Dow Jones index has more than doubled since Barack took office. That alone is good for wise investors, but especially good for those that have 401K plans. Beyond that he has shown that he has a wise global perspective, particularly regarding the Middle East and Cuba while maintaining the friendships with our traditional allies. Those on the Conservative side may not like him, but I think that even they would grudgingly have to admit that this country is better off than it was with George W. Bush.

Jen, the devil made you do it, right?
If the rise in stock market is such a good thing, who’s gotten richer?
Since the start of the nuclear age, bomb non-proliferation has been a major goal of US diplomacy. If it remains so then why did the committee overseeing the Iranian treaty negotiations just vote against giving the President authority to fully finalize the deal? 19 to 0 is not a vote of confidence.

Totally, totally, totally Jen.
The GOP Congress detest his success.
They even tried to derail his deal with the Iranian's.

With interest rates held to historic lows, retired people with savings have had to move their money into the stock market. “Safe” investments just don’t pay a satisfactory return. This puts these people at risk if the market takes a significant loss.
Middle and low income people have seen reduced hours, job loss, wage stagnation and many are living pay check to pay check with little money left to invest. The job participation rate is the lowest since before WWII. SSI disability and welfare are at an all-time high. Has the rising stock market helped them?
Now Wall Street and the top 1% they’re doing very well. And I hope to join them. But they (and I) can weather a stock market down-term well better than the elderly and those on fixed income.
My take is that the Federal Reserve's actions to hold interest rates to banks at artificially low rates and "quantitative easing" (printing money) of course have created a stock market "bubble". The outcome may not end well.

With everything that is currently on his plate I wonder how much sleep he gets each night. I hope he gets some though, and his wife helps I'm sure. You share a name with a wonderful First Lady, Michelle.
