The Dow Jones Industrial Average broke 29,000 for the first time in its history Friday morning, despite new data showing sluggish jobs growth.

The blue-chip index hit an intra-day high of 29,009.07 shortly after 10 a.m., marking a nearly 0.2 percent increase from Thursday’s close of 28,956.90.

The milestone came despite Friday’s monthly jobs report showing slowing employment growth, with the US economy adding 145,000 gigs in December. That’s down from November’s revised total of 256,000.

Thank you Barack Obama. TRUMP has found that magic wand that you said was required. We couldn’t have done it without you...

Perhaps they’ll go with: “Dow Jones Index disappoints again, remains stuck under 30,000.”

[Drango]

The DNC, Pelosi and Schumer are working hard to reverse this.

[GOP Congress]

CNN’s perspective:

“JOBS DOWN ALMOST 50%! TRUMP ECONOMY CRASHING AND BURNING!!”

Winning not whining!

I am imagining that moment in “Mars Attacks” when the playing of the song causes the aliens’ heads to explode.

Splodey heads all around.

It’s the Obama Economy, silly. This is what my Lib relatives tell me so I play along, roll my eyes and will ask how they like the stock market numbers in this wonderful B. Hussein economy.
They stop pushing nonsense that I troll them on.

“It’s the Obama Economy, silly.”

Yeah I keep waiting for the politically enlightened to spew this tripe.

Only 9,000 more Dow points until Kevin Hassett gets something right for the first time in his life.

Magic wand = lower taxes, reduce regulations

[Obadiah]

And this on top of the killing of the martyr Solemanie! How will Democrats cope?

[shelterguy]

hussein laid the foundation for this according to many liberal posts I see on other sites

[goldstategop]

More bad news for Democrats.

[HotHunt]

They'll say the stock market doesn't help the little guy.

And that this new high was all because of Obama's policies finally kicking in.

You know, Trump didn't build that....

Libs/Dems will now be demanding the banning of the numeral 0 (zero).

Thus, the DOW will only be at 29.
