Economy healed under Obama, but unhappy voters chose Trump
The Associated Press ^ | 12/21/2016 | JOSH BOAK AP Economics Writer

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.

We are about to see the “healed economy” take off like a rocket.

Hey AP...

Just think how quicker and smoother the recovery would have been with a competent person in the Oval Office.

One lies, and the other swears to it.

Baloney, the economy is far from healed, an America-hating socialist has been running the country for 8 years. But we are an optimistic country, thanks to our wonderful President-elect Donald Trump. It will take time for the economy to truly heal, but if anyone can do it, President Trump can!

What a deluded article. Ever since Obama took office we have been fed statistics that have been frequently corrected or definitions altered to make reports more favorable. Insult to injury is that the Trump Bump to the stock market happened while he was president and he will undeservingly get credit for it.

AP, brain-dead Leftists with their published LIES.

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.

Poor little liars.

They see what is coming, and they are writing feel good stories that are pure propaganda using their long running narratives that were created from twisted statistical data. I suppose they feel that if they can get as many people hoodwinked as possible it will help them in the long run from being taken to task over their upcoming seditious behavior.

Yes, now that the electoral college voting is over, the MSM is scrambling to say something “meaningful” (to themselves), and I suspect it is going to be high praise for the outgoing POS (POTUS?).
