Presidents take too much credit and receive too much blame. Contrary to your opinion, Presidents are not dictators. Example? Nixon. While he won the electoral college in a landslide, his party didn't win the Senate nor the House so that affected how much he could do. Same with President Obama, he lost the House after only a couple of years.
And the stock market is only one sign of a robust economy. Right now I believe it is overvalued because the interest rates have been held to artificial lows. No place to put your money for decent returns unless it is in the stock market.
