progressives, or at least democrats, have brought the DJIA from a low of about 6900 in January 2009 when Obama was inaugurated to its current 13,000 +/-?

Your favorite GOP non-existent president, GW Bush took the market when it was around 11K and sent it barreling down to 8K, brought it back up, then ditched it down at 6.9K when he left office. Thanks a bunch. His 8 years cost me about $200,000 in gains I could have gotten in my 401(k).
