The Dow went down to 6500 shortly after Obama took over so the 7950 doesnt show the depth of the Bush crash.

I've heard the GDP GROWTH went as low as -9%.

TYPO?-The DEFICIT GDP should be DEFICIT/GDP or DEFICIT-to-GDP or deficit as a percent of GDP.

And the Unemployment went all the way up to 10.5% shortly after Obama took office again not showing the full extent Obama has dug us out.
