[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Liberal college pal says that Obummer had "75 straight quarters of growth. It's so conveeeeeeeenient to forget the shithole the economy was when he took over!"

I need verbal ammo to reply to this diatribe.

Help! Ayuda!

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Thanks, Everyone!

[dinodino]

Obama was not in office for 19 years, ergo, it’s false.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

WMAL Ping List!

MAGA EVERYONE!

Hand them a book on basic arithmetic?

[Mears]

8X4+32

[SmokingJoe]

He didn’t. Eight years equals 32 quarters. Where did you hear this garbage?

[DocRock]

Fuzzy math... 75/4=18.75... Impossible

[OrangeHoof]

Tell him he’s as much an economic illiterate as “Obama”. 4 quarters times 8 years is 32 quarters.

[TADSLOS]

Was that across 57 states?

[oh8eleven]

Obummer had "75 straight quarters of growth ..."
Ah, 8 years in office @ 4 quarters per year = 32 quarters, not 75.

Was this guy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s brother???

Same intellect...

[Don Corleone]

Never, never accept a liberals premise as truth. As you see it is patently false on its very surface.

[gundog]

Apart from their arithmetic, being flawed, what metric is used to measure growth? Stock market? GDP?

[RatRipper]

Also, the Commie Rats took control of Congress in 2006. IMHO, they were largely responsible for the craphole economy at the end of W’s last term . . . although he didn’t help matters any.

[Rummyfan]

Seventy-five quarters? That almost nineteen years.

[BenLurkin]

Tell them that the Obama Recession is finally over.

[AppyPappy]

It down as low as -8 during Obama. It looked like a roller coaster

[TwelveOfTwenty]

I know the person's math is off, but that doesn't answer the main point of his or her claim.

Here are some old links I used to share about the causes of the mess Obama "inherited".

With landmark lawsuit, Barack Obama pushed banks to give subprime loans to Chicago’s African-Americans
Bill Clinton blames Democrats for the mortgage mess
Unemployment sinks to 5-year low (Nov. 2006, before the Democrat Congress replaced the Republican Congress)

As for the return of manufacturing, Obama himself said those jobs aren't coming back and ridiculed Trump over promises to bring those jobs back.

And replacing three full time jobs with benefits with five part time "Obamacare" jobs without benefits is not job growth, regardless of how it impacts the unemployment numbers.

as soon as Republicans took over congress, things turned around fast
