I was speaking in regards to Obama making the statement several times; as recently as his last address.

All presidents, and governors, take credit for positive economic numbers.

Notwithstanding your claims of impartiality on this issue, the brunt of Republican opinion in general, and RE Obama in particular, is that Dems are sh*t for new job creation, the economy and stock market valuations.

My argument that Republicans would embrace these numbers, if Republican Presidents were 'associated' with them, is un-rebutted by
your claims.

And the thrust of the article was not about 'seeking alpha' VS index funds. Index funds were cited as an impartial measure of a 53 year
trend absent a 'hot hand investor'.

In other words, do nothing and this is what stock market gains looks like under all presidents in that time frame.
