Marcy Wheeler breaks down the numbers:

DOW January 19, 2001: 10,587.59
DOW September 29, 2008: 10,365.45

NASDAQ Jan 19, 2001 = 2770.38
NASDAQ September 29, 2008 = 1983.73

CPI, January 19, 2001: 175

Update: CBS News's Mark Knoller notes that the national debt has grown 71.9 percent since Bush took office, "more than under any previous president."

Meanwhile, the McSame-Obama race remains a close one statistically ...

Again: go figure.
