Its only because the trough was so deep. Its hard not to have a massive gain during your presidency just after a crash.

To be clear, I think presidents have little to do with market moves. So they should not be accredited with gains nor blamed for falls.

Nope. Let's give credit where credit is due. If it wasn't for Bush and Obama recognizing the problem and acting quickly to fix it, we could have had a crisis of much larger proportions. Now, I'm not saying they Personally fixed it. But they did recognize the enormity of the situation and actively took steps that helped remedy it.

Not my take on history. I'd rather see bankrupt people go bankrupt.

I'd rather live in the world we do now than gamble that the financial system would not have collapsed.
