WASHINGTON (AP) -- He was a first-term senator-turned-president, a former law professor with little experience in economics or management. When he entered the White House he had one essential task: piece together the shards of a shattered U.S. economy.
It wasn't smooth and it wasn't fast. But President Barack Obama will leave behind, by most measures, an economy far stronger than the one he inherited. Unemployment is 4.6 percent, a nine-year low. Stocks keep setting highs. An additional 20 million Americans have health insurance coverage. The nation has shifted toward cleaner energy sources: natural gas, wind and solar.

More fake news from AP.
Voters repudiated Obama and they give him credit for non-existent achievements.
No media bias here!
Psssssst.. Don’t tell anyone but 0blama DOUBLED the national debt from $10 TRILLION to $20 TRILLION... SSSssshhhhh...
It’s not “fake news”. It’s published LIES.
“Fake news” is another subtle Leftist term they have invented to attempt to distract us from the fact that they are LIARS.
“Fake news” implies a subjective opinion about what’s being said.
LIES is an objective standard comparing what was said with the facts. The Left does not want us to go there.
It isn’t about “fake news”. It is about the CHRONIC LIES of the Left.
Look for Trump inherited a healthy economy and Trump’s advances could not have happened had it not been for obama.
Fake CNNews.
Merry Christmas
Wait until all those fixit bandaids are ripped off. All those scabby festering wounds will need serious medicine. The Zero never attacked a problem to fix it, just hide it.
Like I told a friend of mine, when was peddling the meme that Dr. Obama was like a ER doctor when he took office in 2008 and the economy was dying...
It’s true the economy was in ruins in 2008 and eight years later the patient went from a massive heart attack in 2008 to stage four cancer in 2016...
Did you read my post?
Do you know what “aka” means?
And isn’t it a fact that the stock market has been doing so well since the election, as a reaction to the election, rather than as a reaction to any Obama policies????
Another classic example of “fake news”. The attempt by the left media to label anything they don’t agree with as fake news is going to backfire on them!
The economy collapsed after the Democrats took Congress and didn’t return until the Republicans took over Congress.
This is not news. It is propaganda.
I am convinced that someone at the DNC (or some other progress think-tank) writes this stuff and distributes it to the various news organs. The “reporters” just reword it a little and publish it under their names.
AP left out the free unicorns and rainbows obama gave to all of us.
Absolute Prevarication
Clever joke!
Unemployment is 4.6 percent, a nine-year low - BUT labor force participation is at a nine-year low as well, thus demonstrating how easily statistics can be manipulated to make news distortion easier for the butt-kissers at the AP
Stocks keep setting highs - BUT much of that rise in the past 8 years can be attributed to three episodes of “quantitative easing” (essentially electronic money printing), AND the latest boom coincided with the positive vibes following Trump’s election.
An additional 20 million Americans have health insurance coverage BUT that coverage is part of an unsustainable system, from which insurance companies are continually bailing, and which will soon be tossed overboard, perhaps even with the cooperation of the Democrats who forced it on us.
The nation has shifted toward cleaner energy sources: natural gas, wind and solar - BUT after wasting billions of dollars on scams like Solyndra, most of those initiatives will fade into irrelevance unless they prove themselves economically competitive.
AND the “booming Obama economy” has never exceeded 3% annual growth, the worse economic record in modern times.
Nice try, AP.
Of course and it’s OK. But did you read my post? It’s the reason we on the Right should avoid the Left’s “fake new” b/s terminology and go straight for the jugular - they are LIARS.
