Obama and his minions openly and explicitly stated that Trump’s goals for the economy were absurd and unreachable. They don’t get to take credit now that they were proven wrong.

black folk in the era of Obama have lost ground in every major economic category. Not one, two or three, but every major economic category, black Americans have lost ground.

But they stayed on the Democrat Plantation, isn't that all that matters?

FDR presided over what should have been a 4-5 year bad recession, and turned it into a decade-long Great Depression. Obama was just following in his footsteps.

If it hadn’t been for the fracking boom, which Obama did *nothing* to help, the Obama years would have been much, much worse. The modern American economy is built on cheap energy and low regulation, and both are foreign to Obama.

The “Obama built it” talking point is not new. It has been in circulation as soon as Trump took office. Especially since the stock markets hit record highs. I remember some news shows showing the graphs of the rise of the stock market to the new high and clearly they went back to the days of Obama. The demonrats and lamestream media have been trying to make this talking point stick since the first year of Trump’s presidency.

Heads I win, Tails you lose.

There is an article nearby which says that when water levels in the Great Lakes was dropping, they claimed it was Global Warming. Now the water levels in the Great Lakes is rising — and that is due to Global Warming.

If the economy is good under a Democrat (Bill Clinton’s second term) the Democrat will take all the credit (Newt who??). But if the economy is bad under a Democrat, they blame the previous guy. And if the economy is good under a Republican, the Democrats will take credit for that as well.

This is childlike behavior. But they seem to get away with it.

This has been a talking point from my wife’s liberal friends for a while now.

The only reason this good is happening is because Obama put it all in motion, and its IN SPITE of Trump, not because of him.

They honestly believe that too.

Heard some POS try to convince Hannity of this on the way home yesterday.

His response was the same, that the Fraud told the world it couldn’t be done.

FraudCo told us many times, “Donald Trump will NEVER be President.”

Yep. That IS the talking point from all my Leftist friends. I guess they don’t remember Obama saying (paraphrase) ‘this is as good as it gets. America will never be a Global power again’. The Obama Admin claimed anything bad that happened during his tenure was ‘GWB’s fault’. Now they are claiming anything good during the Trump Admin is Obama’s credit. If we had even a remotely unbiased Media in this country, the citizenry would be backing Trump by the ubermillions.

Under Donald Trump:

- Job growth has slowed
- Manufacturing is worse off
- Income inequality is higher than ever

He is squandering the growing Obama-Biden economy that he inherited — just like he has squandered everything else that he has inherited in his life.— Joe Biden (Text Join to 30330) (@JoeBiden) February 12, 2020

The lesson is, the left never, ever gives up. They never tire, and they never change. We can never eliminate the left, only defeat them. But, they will keep trying.

The Great Lakes are regulated. There was an agreement made in 2014....and that has been the problem.

My problem....I'm sick of paying good money to people who live on the shore of the Lake. You bought it. It's on a Lake. What could go wrong?

It’s the democratic way...which has nothing to do with the people or the USC.
It has to do with maintaining the lifestyles they have become accustomed too.
Unfortunately to many Repubs have joined their ranks.

Obama did spend a LOT of money. Remember shovel ready? This created a lot of econonomic activity but after it was spent, what did we have?

Never confuse economic activity with wealth generation for the future.
