Since you're the one tooting about O'bama boosting the stock market, what has he done specifically to make companies more profitable, thus floating the stock market?  Under O'bama's tenure, Aloha Airlines bit the dust and our State and county workers had furlough Fridays (along with other states such as California).   How did that help the middle class?

What Bush policies helped the middle class?  I recall a sizable tax rebate where every citizen got back something like $300, which would have been very beneficial to the economy and businesses.
