Obamanomics: Crude Oil

10/03/12 01:41PM EDT

WTI Crude Oil is up a whopping +133.4% since Obama took office in January of 2009. Anyone who drives an automobile has certainly noticed the increase in gasoline prices over the last three to four years. That pain at the pump will continue until oil comes down, which could happen soon. Our bearish thesis on oil sees the price of Brent and WTI Crude heading lower and the move could be kicked into high gear by a stronger dollar.

In honor of tonight's presidential debate, we've examined the performance of several different asset classes and their performance from January 20, 2009 to today to see just how well President Obama has done during his first term.
