Hussein didn’t have a “magic wand”.

Only a selfie-stick.

number 6:

Obama was not permitted to take his shoes and socks off to figure the higher math required by his economic advisors’ reports, so he said “shucks, just go ahead. Sounds okay, I guess.”

#1) He’s stupid. Can’t take credit for tying his shoes, and America knows it. That’s why democrats are going to lose big in 2018 and 2020.

Obama isn’t all that bad, I give him a lot of the credit for Trump winning.

shoes


I sound like a heel but it was on the tip of my tongue so I posted it, too.

P.S. Can anyone be banned for corny humor on FR? Guess others can tell me from way, way back. Some may have grey whiskers by now.

To give Trump credit would affirm that high corporate tax rates and heavy regulation stifle business development and growth.

Dems will never admit to that.

Nobody who isn’t a hardcore Leftist is buying Obama’s ridiculous spin.

Reason 1, Obama’s goal was to basically collapse the economy. Cloward-Piven strategy.

There is in statistics the concept of “regression to the mean” - when a process has been bouncing along pretty much within an average range of value, should it become strongly divergent from that average it will by chance and inertia alone return to that average range fairly quickly - so it was with the US economy about the time Obama took over - it had been percolating along under Bush reasonably well, but in 2008-2009 the thirty years of Democrat policy of trying to give away free houses to the poor at taxpayer expense, and the collapse of financial instruments backed by the failing mortgages on those houses, collapsed the economy - employment, GNP, investment and the rest -far below levels where it had been performing - once the housing market stabilized and most of the poor-quality mortgage securities were accounted for, the economy should have rebounded very much on its own because of the underlying investment and industry of the country which was still existent - it took special skills to impede that rebound - to spike unemployment at 12%, tank the stock market, and drop the GDP to the “new normal” of 1% a year - and Obama apparently had them......

Actually, what Obama and the Democrats should be doing, if they want to be intellectually honest, is claiming that the economy should be growing at a 6% clip were it not for Trump reversing Obama's policies of taxation and regulation. It's the same argument you're making but one that puts them in a positive light, albeit a ridiculous positive light.

We already know what Trump did with that “magic wand,” but since I don’t want to be banned from FR....

Obama spoke before a receptive audience on Friday where he claimed that his administration reversed 40 years of bad economic trends during his eight years in office.

Obama is sounding more and more like "Baghdad Bob." Obama does not seem to know what he is talking about! Amazing!

Tax cuts are anathema to the Democratic party, as are actions to get rid of regulations and red tape. International trade deals were made by Democrats to enrich themselves, not the citizens of the USA. Socialism has never worked.

President Trump and the Republican Party have reduced your taxes, gotten rid of onerous and unproductive government regulations, and are making trade deals that are fair and benefit the American worker.

Keep talking former president Obama, you are doing great!

It’s exhausting debating this with libs on Twitter...one actually said that unemployment was down even more under Zero.

I guess the meaning of “the best Black unemployment numbers since record keeping began”, is lost on that brainiac.
