You show 1 of 1460 days since he's been in office....really?
Using the stock market to show how wrong the voters were last night is not where you want to go...

The economy and consequences of our elected officials impact the economy of the lake. Romney is a celebrity that makes the lake exciting. There is a special event that occurs when national, global, or hollywood personalities are spotted in our area.
I can't do the research today but the dow and other indicators are not static. Each number is an average of a select few companies that are traded in each of the different markets. The Dow industrial is an average of 30 top companies. The bottom of the performers are swapped out for better companies. This September Kraft was removed and United Health Group replaced it. There were 4 other companies replaced since 2008 / 9 making a comparison of the average worthless. You would be better off using a mutual fund or basic commodities and cost of food and energy for a financial comparison over time.
