Statistics. Charts. Numbers.
2 things. The stock market did well during Obama's tenure because he took office right after the 2008 crash. Market had plenty of room to grow. And also did well because there were no other investment opportunities available because the economy was so stagnant. People had no other place to invest their money.
As far as unemployment figures, let's compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges.

That's not enough to maintain the upward trajectory for 8 years.

At least now I know you don't manage money for a living. There was never a better time to invest than when the economy is down. That's when investors poor their money into everything. Houses were deeply discounted all over the country and you saw investors pouring money into real estate everywhere.

Not sure what your point is. The chart shows the rate under W and then under Obama. It's apples to apples.
