However, history actually shows that the U.S. economy, stock prices and corporate profits have generated stronger growth under Democratic administrations than Republican ones.
According to McGraw-Hills (MHP) S&P Capital IQ, the S&P 500 has rallied an average of 12.1% per year since 1901 when Democrats occupy the White House, compared with just 5.1% for the GOP.
Likewise, gross domestic product has increased 4.2% each year since 1949 when Democrats run the executive branch, versus 2.6% under Republicans.
Even corporate profits show a disparity: S&P 500 GAAP earnings per share climbed a median of 10.5% per year since 1936 during Democratic administrations, besting an 8.9% median advance under Republicans, S&P said.
Due to their tax-and-spend reputation, investors expect Democratic administrations to underperform Republican ones and be poison to any portfolio, Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, wrote in a note. History shows the opposite to be true, however.

telling listeners how bad the economy is. And a replay of Neil Bortz last night allowing a caller to say Obama has done nothing for green energy before Neil told his listeners to write any Obama supporting kids out of their will then he went into an anti-gay rant. I can only stand a few minutes of that station at a time. They are some sick assholes.
