Valerie Jarrett: We should also give Obama credit for low unemployment
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/4/18 | Caitlin Yilek

{snip]The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced Friday that the U.S. economy added 164,000 jobs in April, pushing the unemployment rate down to 3.9 percent, the lowest since 2000.

When asked on CNN’s “New Day” if Jarrett gives Trump credit for that, she deferred to giving Obama credit for starting the trend.

“Look, I think we have to look at it over a longer horizon than that,” she said. “If you think about what the economy was like when President Obama took office, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. Under his watch, the unemployment rate dropped in half and it’s encouraging to see that we’re continuing to make progress.”

Giving the black guy credit for things he didn’t do.

It’s called Affirmative Action.

Hey Val, what exactly did Obama do to lower the unemployment? Was it shutting down coal? Was it curbing oil drilling on Federal lands? Was it going nuts on regulations.

Well, it is partly true that the half breed cut unemployment rate. All he had to do was stop counting people without jobs.

Yes for leaving the office finally after eight years of anemic ineptitude.

Businesses postponed hiring until he was out of office. I give him credit for that.

Yeah, right. After 8 years of ‘new normals’ during the Obama years.

Jarrett seems to forget that ‘they’ were saying the low unemployment, etc., were things of days gone by. Now, they want to get some of the credit for the Trump economy.

Well, a great part of this new Trump economy is his ditching many of the regulations installed in the Obama years.
