The stock market gained over 200% under President Obama, one of the best advances during a presidency. To me, Obama's greatest contribution was his policies kept the stock market (and the economy) from becoming overheated. The business community did not over invest.

In hindsight, the slow recovery has been a great positive. None of the short cycle boom busts that typically occur. Just a continuous steady upward trend, with periodic brief pull backs.
I guess steady economic growth requires a balance of strong economic results tempered by near term economic uncertainty.
