If you go back to when Obama announced he was running for office, the stock market was probably around 14,000. SO, he is responsible for cutting its value nearly in half. Surprised she didn't state it that way. Just think of the fun Hannity and Limbaugh would have reciting it as absolute fact! Actually, I think Malkin missed an opportunity here.

Moreover, if history is a guide, Malkin is going to be even more embarrassed by this post. From what I've read, this has been the worst election to inauguration stock market performance in history. The second worst was FDR. Yet, in FDR's first term the stock market rose over 160%, with a big chunk of it happening in the first 100 days of his administration as the panic wore off. I would not be surprised to see history repeat itself with Obama. The bigger the drop, the bigger the bounce. Of course, the stock market dropped 132% in FDR's second term. So... there you go. If we do get a big Obama bounce - take your profits and get out. That is probably what I am going to do. Yeah. it is pretty ridiculous.
