George, you're still a miserable failure...Your growth can't even keep up with inflation, loser!.
Holy cow, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eclipsed 12,000! You got to hand it to George W. Bush when it comes to the Dow, that's for sure. Or do you?
The day Bush was granted the Presidency the DJIA was 10,588 and today it closed at 12,011.73, which is a 13.3% increase in the 68 months he's been in office. That's less than 2.5% a year! Less than the rate of inflation over those same 68 months!
Now let's take a look at what the DJIA did during Bush's predecessor’s time in office. When Bill Clinton took his oath of office on January 21, 1993, the DJIA was 3,253. When he left office it was 10,588-a whopping 226% increase!!
Oh, but you say, you're comparing an entire 8 years with just 5 years and 8 months. Ok, I'll give you that. When Clinton had been in office that same 68 months, or on October 19, 1998, the DOW was at 8,466, which is a meager 160% increase!
If you wanted to look at this in another way, if the Bush-era would match Clinton’s first 68 months in office, the DJIA would be at 27,529 today!
Damn, all you Bush-sheep have a long way to go for any bragging rights on the DOW. So crawl back in your hole and once again face the reality that you’re still a bunch of losers!
Oh yeah, not that I have to rub it in anymore, or show how insignificant it is that we finally reached 12,000 with the DOW, but for Bush to reach William Jefferson Clinton’s magnificent accomplishment with the DJIA, it will have to reach 34,411 by January 2009.
Dream on....
