Now the Dow is up since Obama took office and has been climbing consistently for 2 months (longer than what it dropped under Obama). Will these same members have enough credibility to come out and admit one of these 2 things:

1) Obama had nothing to do with the free fall.

or

2) Obama stopped the free fall and so far appears to have turned the market around.
