DJIA = Dow Jones Industrial Average, the most commonly used method to gauge the health of the economy, based on a select subset of stocks.

From Wikipedia:

De jure (in Classical Latin de iure) is an expression that means "concerning law", as contrasted with de facto, which means "concerning fact".
De jure = 'Legally', De facto = 'In fact'.
The terms de jure and de facto are used instead of "in law" and "in practice", respectively, when one is describing political or legal situations.
In a legal context, de jure is also translated as "concerning law". A practice may exist de facto, where for example the people obey a contract as though there were a law enforcing it, yet there is no such law. A process known as "desuetude" may allow de facto practices to replace obsolete de jure laws. On the other hand, practices may exist de jure and not be obeyed or observed by the people.

An example here would be that a vote for Johnson would not de jure be a vote for Obama, but given that it takes a vote away from Romney could de facto be considered a vote for Obama.

The way you talk, you must be edjumicated. Especially how you talk down to people:

Maybe because he's NOT directly and solely responsible for the economy? He doesn't sole credit or blame for the good or the bad, at least no by anyone with a basic understanding of macro-economics. Sure, you can play political blame game all you want, but if it's only politics at work to anyone, then one only displays one's lack of education.

Thanks for taking the time to explain, it was "complex".....

P.S- not good at inserting : (sarcasm here) or smiles so put were you see fit....
