One of my Republican co-workers said the reason the stock market tanked in 2008 was because of Obama. I asked how that was possible because Obama wasn't even President yet....he said investors pulled their money out because they saw the polls trending to Obama.

These people are nitwits.

In every economic measure since FDR, democratic Presidents have out performed republican Presidents in every case. There is not one single period where the republican did better than a democrat predecessor or successor.
