The dow is up because people are getting laid off and because the media has been brainwashing for the Obama-uptick popularity correlation ever since before the elections.
Obama is counting on domestic pauperization and interdependency immorality to remain in power.
Domestic pauperization and electorate brainwashing is not why the Dow is up. Social conservatives should show more understanding of the stock market dynamics instead of attributing market movements to conspiratorial theories.
