Barrack Obama visited a Home Depot mid-December, 2009, to push his ridiculous "Cash for Caulkers" boondoggle. Little did he know that his magnificent appearance would have such a positive impact not only on the economy, but also on Home Depot. A month after his visit Home Depot contributed to the unemployment rate by announcing layioffs of 1,000 people. Yesterday, Home Depot announced solid quarterly earnings and a 5% increase in its dividend.

Now Obama can take credit for improving Home Depot's performance while "saving and creating" the higher dividend in spite of the job cuts by the evil captains of the Home Depot ship.

Barack Obama likes to take credit for any "positive" sign out there. He might as well take credit for his appearance at Home Depot: 1,000 people layed off after his appearance followed by a dividend increase.

I wonder what would happen if he actually tried to cut taxes and spending? Would the country also get a growth dividend?
