Former President Barack Obama bashed President Trump for taking credit for the strong American economy during a politically charged speech at the University of Illinois on Friday.
“By the time I left office, household income was near its all-time high, and the uninsured rate had hit an all-time low, and wages were rising, and poverty rates were falling. I mention all this just so when you hear how great the economy is doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started,” Obama said to applause from the audience.
“When you hear about this economic miracle that’s been going on – when the job numbers come out … and suddenly Republicans are saying, ‘It’s a miracle!’ I have to kind of remind them: actually, those job numbers are the same as they were in 2015 and 2016,” he added.
Obama’s remarks came on the heels of the August jobs report, which found that the United States created 201,000 new jobs in August.

Narcissistic asshole.
GO AWAY.
You didn’t make this economy.
If anything this should help Trump.
He’s been on Fox speaking for over 2 hours. The true mark of a failed socialist.
Yes, Obama, you buffoon.
President Trump REVERSED everything you did, the economy takes off, and you’re to thank. Ok. Thank you for making everything so dismal that everyone was eager to invest once your policies were overturned.
Everything bad in his administration was W’s fault. Everything good in Trump’s administration is just more laurel wreath’s for Obama.
Poor Bammy, should stay home and let Mooch console him, they deserve each other.

Did Hussein mention the ten trillion he added to the debt?
Well gosh, thanks Obummer for clearing this up for us. And here this whole time I was just thinking President Trump had used that “magic wand” you talked about a couple of years ago.
He ALWAYS talks about himself. Practically everything he says is self-referential.
Obama is a pathological narcissist if there ever was one.
Skywise you nailed it. Dumbo and his giant ears is making a fool out of himself with lie after lie comparing his epic fail as President to that of Trump’s magnificent job reversing the collapse of the USA.
MAGA
Thank you for making everything so dismal that everyone was eager to invest once your policies were overturned.

Spot on comment!!!
The hallmark of Obama’s economic record: Cash for Clunkers.
Did Obama mention the millions in cash for clunkers in Iran.
“Poor Bammy, should stay home and let Mooch console him, they deserve each other.”
He has 5? homes to choose from...?
He is such a effing liar I can not stand this man.
Has anyone asked Obama what he actually DID to allegedly grow the economy? Did he reduce tax burdens on individuals and businesses? Did he slash regulations? Oh and he wants to be praised for the success of the stock market during his terms. The same market that he associated with selfish greed. And besides, the Fed propped up the market during his years by keeping interest rates unnaturally low.
Outstanding
