Obama Touts His Economy, Axios Says Trump Avg. GDP Growth Outpaced His
NewsBusters ^ | 2/17/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Former President Barack Obama, touting his own economic magic wand, tried to take credit for the Trump economy. Obama sent out the self-congratulatory tweet February 17. He said that, “Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history.” Ironic that liberal outlet Axios released a report the same day, commenting that the “Average economic growth under President Trump has outpaced the growth under Barack Obama.” [Emphasis added.]

In BHO smoked a meth with Larry Sinclair before engaging in behavior that got Sodom destroyed. Maybe that’s what caused the job and economic boom?

Kinda hard to claim credit when obumber said to get used to 2% max growth and that manufacturing jobs were not coming back. Both were wrong, but he now claims credit? Only the msm would buy that.

Obama pops his head up over something so provably wrong, Trump is going to respond.

How is it that you’ve only been posting your own material

Are you simply promoting yourself?

If Obama’s economy were so great he wouldn’t have to say Anything. People would be reminiscing about the good ole’ days. Instead he’s having to say, I know THESE days are “the good ole’ days” but it’s because of what I did. At the same time they complain that Trump is tearing up everything he did. The logic doesn’t compute

Obama oversaw 8 years of recession and lackluster growth, all while he partied in Hawaii and at Martha’s Vineyard. No amount of spinning will change that.

How liberals see it:

1. Trump is undoign Obama’s policies!
2. the strong economy isn’t Trump’s; it’s the result of Obama’s policies.

(You mean the ones trump has spent three years undoing?)
