The stock markets performance in the two terms under Obama represents the second best run under a Democrat president, trailing only the 14.9% annual gains under Bill Clinton in the 1990s, according to Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist for the market research firm CFRA.

Many market observers have pointed out that the stock markets run under Obama may not have been all or even mostly Obamas doing.
