Back when Obama was first inaugurated in 2009

The stock market had a bad day, if I recall. The pundits (especially Fox) wondered if Obama was having a bad effect on the economy. Yet, soon after, the market started climbing & climbing, setting record highs.

The new Republican Congress started last week, and the market has since gone down & down - plunging almost 600 points over the last week.

Has anybody in the media openly wondered if a Republican congress is bad for the stock market yet?

Just curious.
