Why does business do so much better under Obama than it did under Bush?

For example, the Dow Jones is 30% higher now than it was when Bush ended his term. The S&P was around 900, compared to about 1100 now. During his term the S&P 500 lost more than half of its value 50.503539%, and the NASDAQ lost more than that, 54%.

Job growth was also under 3 million for 8 years, worse than 4 years during Carter, and the net change in private sector job creation for the 8 years was around 0, i.e. all the gains in job creation were government jobs which aren't jobs according to conservatives.
You ignorant conservatives can't look at the average numbers under Bush, his policies created a massive recession which we are still feeling the effects of. You have to use the average though because the actual numbers show he destroyed the economy.
You must leech off the government since your company has only thrived in the years listed under presidents who have increased government spending the most. I assume like most conservatives you must not actually be able to act in the free market you say you love so much, but actually rely on corporate socialism.

For the idiots complaining about $1 trillion we don't have, where were you when we were telling you the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were pointless and would be too expensive? Now there's $3 trillion wasted at a minimum. I guess you were probably too busy calling war detractors unpatriotic to actually think ahead a little.
I'm applying statistics directly from the closing prices of the markets. It's very complicated, and the analysis can be found on literally thousands of sites.
