Do you think it will happen? The Dow is only 911.67 points away from its all time high! [View all]

On a very good day in October 2007, the Dow closed at an all time record breaking high of 14,164.43

But, as the Bush recession and GOP conservative economic policies reached their zenith, the Dow crashed and closed to a low of 6,547 on March 9th, 2009.

Then, Obama's policies began to take effect.

Today, the Dow closed at 13,252.76.

The Dow is only 911.67 points away from its all time high.

Why isn't this a bigger story?
