Obama Defies Pessimists as Rising Economy Converges With Stocks

You are right the market is creeping back up, but there is no recovery without jobs, permanent jobs not temps. I'm not sure where you got the numbers that consumer spending is up....I'm not saying it isn't but I haven't seen anything that would say that is true.

I would answer the question you asked but it is like asking what I would do if I won the lottery back to back? It could happen but I don't think it will.

FYI, the market is up about 60% off its lows in 08. If you call that creeping up, what do you call the growth in the market during the Bush administration? Remember those years? From 2000 - 2008 we gained negative 2400.

How would you characterize going from 10600 to 8200 over 8 years of Bush compared to 6400 to 10600 in 13 months of Obama? Me, I thank my lucky starts it only took 1 year for Obama to get us back to where we were when Bush took office.
