, about a year before Obama became President and two months after the Dow 30 Industrials hit an all-time high of 14,165. The Dow then fell over 50% to 6,547 in March 2009, which was three months before the recession officially ended in June.It took from January 2009 until March 2013 for the Dow Industrials to regain its previous high.
