Remember Needy Amin crowing about new highs for the DJIA?

There would be terrible news about unemployment or personal debt or bankruptcies or foreclosures, economic news that meant bad things were happening to non-wealthy Americans, and the former guy would talk about how the Dow Jones had hit another all-time high, as if that was the sole measure of the country's economic health. Certainly the media covered dipshit's "greatest economy ever" boasting as if it were true.

Looks like the Dow will close at another all-time high today. I wonder how this will be covered by the popular media? Will it be covered?
