"The Standard & Poors 500-stock index was 139 percent higher at the close on Jan. 11 than it was the day Obama took office. Other stock indexes show similarly robust gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has also more than doubled, rising 106 percent during Obamas tenure, and the NASDAQ Composite index has tripled, rising 222 percent."
