    I am an investor in the stock market through mutual funds in my retirement plans since 2000. Show me when the stock market went "down and down" under Obama, because it didn't. I am not going to pull up graphs to refute this nonsense, everyone knows what the stock market did.

    You should know it is easy to act like you don't perhaps you just overlooked it. why not look at your capital gains schedule. Did that help?

    Don't have to look at that, just a brief look and major stock indices indicates that the market nearly tripled under Obama.

    Bu again, maybe you can provide evidence for mutual funds going "down and down" under Obama, since those seem to be clearly alternative facts.

    Oh boy, if you invest upon, or judge a president, on the stock market being down for one or two months, you should better get out of the market. Your risk tolerance may not deal well with the next major downturn, which, btw, WILL COME, supply side tax cuts or not.

    Everything good that happens during Trumps 4yrs is Obama’s doing. Everything bad that happened during Obama’s 8 yrs was Bushs fault.

    At least that’s what the MSM tells us. Actually OBama told us that. They ol “I inherited” line he used very consistently his whole term.

    Your claim is fake. Neither Obama nor your "MSM" ever propounded such nonsense.

    Your fake claim that the MSM and Obama told us that "Everything good that happens during Trumps 4yrs is Obama’s doing. Everything bad that happened during Obama’s 8 yrs was Bushs fault" is amusing. Your ideological dogma compels you to even projects the next three years rather than accepting whatever reality unfolds.

    Did Obama's inheriting an economic collapse occasion his making reference to that reality? Of course. Has Trump whined about Obama's bequest? Of course.

    I give him credit for the market going DOWN between Jan 2015 and June 2016.

    The rise you are spouting off was natural, and followed the same pattern the market has always followed.

    Has nothing to do with Trump.

    This is simply a GOP phenomenon.
