I was flipping through some books in the book store over Christmas I saw something similar to this in the Investor's Almanac. So I borrowed the idea for this post (thanks Investor's Almanac). With President Elect Obama's swearing in ceremony coming up in about 25 days it is somewhat interesting to have a look at what the first year in office typically looks like for new U.S. presidents. If you want to have a closeup look at the graphics have a look at the post on my blog www.buyvalue.blogspot.com
