Obama's Barometer

Via the Hugh Hewitt Blog, here is the barometer that the Obama administration will be measured by in his first (only?) term:

The inflation rate was 3.7%
Unemployment was 6.5%
The prime was at 4%
The Dow closed at 9,625
The NASDAQ closed at 1,780
The S&P closed at 1,005
Oil was $60 a barrel.
U.S. monthly domestic oil production: appx 155 million barrels
U.S. proven oil reserves: 21.3 billion barrels
U.S. offshore proven reserves: 3.9 billion barrels

These were the various levels on November 4th, the day that Barack Obama won the election. I will refer to these numbers over the next 4 years. If he does well, we'll let you know. The same will be the case if he doesn't.
