This could be considered academic regardless of how one feels about same-sex relationships. People get involved in passionless relationships all the time.

The President has little to do with the performance of the stock market, so the OP has little significance. The deregulation of the 80's, which started in the Carter administration and gained full momentum under Reagan, played a part in the subsequent boom, but a boom was already due and would...
