Third 3rd Year Anniversary of the Obama Stimulus bull market; Jobs Report: 227,000 jobs added

More very bad news for the GOP!.

The Dow Jones bottomed out from the Bush Crash 3 yrs ago today on Mar. 9, 2009 at 6547 when the Obama stimulus was first kicking in,

and is now 3 years later 12,950 --which has almost DOUBLED the low.

The Jobs report was 227,000 which was 11,000 higher than expected.

It looks to me like the corporate media is downplaying/ignoring both of these facts today. I wonder why?
