The Dow is now about 5% lower than it was five-plus years ago when President Bush was selected and we went to more or less total right-wing Republican control. (This is not to tar all Congressional Republicans as rightwing; but you will not find moderate Republicans in the leadership.)
In that same time, we have also lost the good will of much of the world and added 35% to our national debt.
But at least we got Bin-Laden.
