I’ve been waiting on this story to develop. It’s one of many accomplishments of President Trump, but the one that’s going to destroy them in November.

I don’t care if Bloomberg and Soros each spend a $billion, they can never that ownership of this thriving economy.

Out of one side of their mouths, they’ll take the credit for it, and out of the other side, they’ll talk it down in hopes it’ll crash.

"those jobs aren't coming back", "this is the new normal", and "what's he going to do, wave a magic wand?" tell us that Obama wasn't even trying to make the economy better. It better suited his goals for it to be poor, just as FDR was able to vastly expand government thanks to the great depression which he failed to end for a decade.

Luckily Obama is gone and like Carter will be mostly forgotten in ten years.

Obama raised taxes, spent nearly $1 trillion on a so-called stimulus plan, increased regulations and signed a new entitlement program known as "Obamacare." Reagan did the opposite. He decreased taxes and continued deregulation.

Trump also lowered taxes and decreased regulations

I realized a long time ago there’s no point in trying to debate reality with liberals.

It’s gotten to the point now where I don’t even care to be in the same room with them.

“Dems’ New Talking Point on the Trump Economy: Obama Built It”

But they are also saying that this economy “isnt that great” and “isnt working for everyday people”.

I’m sure they also cant tell us precisely what Obama did to make an economy come to life ONLY AFTER HE LEFT OFFICE.

Reminds of the line from the Anchorman movie — “60% of the time, it works every time.”

They printed masses amounts of paper money. It’s a good way to devalue the dollar.

“The new normal” was the cry of the Obama administration. “Where’s the magic wand?” Remember that one?

Obama deserves some credit. Without him Donald Trump would not have been inspired to run and America would not have been saved.

The Dems are absolutely correct. The destructive effects of the Obama policies destroyed vast swaths of the US economy. They drove us into the abyss out of which , they assured us, we could not return.
The depths to which we sank under Obama are in stark contrast to the enormous growth policies of Trump. Without Obama’s failure, Trump’s success would not be as outstanding. Give credit where credit is due. Obama has made Trump look very, very good.

The ONLY positive economic growth that can be attributed to Obama is his own.

I’ve had this same argument from relatives. I have a Ph.D. in economics and have taught graduate-level courses and have tried to explain Friedman’s concept of Realized Expectations to them to confirm that 3-year old economic policies, most of which were horrible, are NOT responsible for the growth we’re seeing today. I might as well be talking to a fence post. In one argument, I even got this response: “That might be, but I don’t believe it!” whereupon they spin on their heels and stomp out of the room.

The GOP needs to fend off this argument NOW! The general voting public is not smart enough to ferret out the truth here, and point out that, if the Federal gov’t announced a new 10% tax cut to individuals and businesses that takes effect 6 months from now, both groups would start altering their spending and investment plans today, not 6 months from now. The Obama policies are so far in the rear view mirror that they have little, if any, effect today...thank God!

Everyone knows that America was built on the backs of slaves and that whites had nothing to do with the growth of America. As the economic decline for blacks during the Obama era was across all areas for blacks it only stands to reason the he should have brought back slavery.
