S&P 500 during certain presidencies

I don't pretend to claim a causal relationship, but since we're at an all time high, I felt like looking up the facts:

Clinton: +210.69% http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=%5EGSPC+Interactive#symbol=%5Egspc;range=19930118,20010119;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined;

Bush 43: -38.60% http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=%5EGSPC+Interactive#symbol=%5Egspc;range=20010119,20090120;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined;

Obama: +108.32% http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=%5EGSPC+Interactive#symbol=%5Egspc;range=20090120,20131018;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined;

To be fair, Reagan and Bush 41: +234.88% http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=%5EGSPC+Interactive#symbol=%5Egspc;range=19810119,19930120;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined;
