Nobody believes that; Hillary lost primarily because of the economy. Same BS at the end of BJ Clinton’s reign; if the economy was half as good as the news portrayed, Gore would have crushed Bush II.

Some people did well, but most didn’t; even leftists today (now that the election is over) are admitting many Americans haven’t had a raise in DECADES - and that includes BJ Clinton AND Obama.

All the Fed has done is artificially support Zero. I expect a transient drop when the Fed starts raising rates. When do they next meet?

Big Media’s cooked the books for their god in the white mosque so long already.

Look how many HERE are willing to believe headlines as long as they aren’t DIRECTLY related to politics....

The script is already written to show how Hitlery’s conqueror is SO much worse for America and the “world”, with new, much more correct and relevant statistics after 1/20.

Big Media will suddenly start caring about military deaths again, and attributing them to the president for the first time in eight years.

Stay strong.

So, less than 5% unemployment? Is that what the fake news is telling us these days?

Instantly on January 21 the media will discover how bad the US economy really is and blame it on the president.

the lie has a two fold purpose.

first to help Obama’s legacy.

second to set the stage for declaring Trump a failure, because if everything was so great during Obama, it will be that much easier to declare Trump a failure.

You know, it's funny. Whenever the Left wanted to rail against capitalism, they'd say that the poor are "poorer than ever" and the gap between rich and poor was "wider than ever," and on and on. But they'd never mention Obama. It was just Capitalism.

But then when they want to talk about Obama's legacy, suddenly it's all sunshine here in America, the Best Days Ever. And these were the same news outlets, at different times over the last 8 years.

Define “Healthy Economy” and then find one that’s ever existed.

I don’t think GDP ever broke 2% on an annual basis.

I certainly hope that Trump starts telling Americans the real status of the economy once he's in office.

When they compare the last quarter of Obama’s economy (2016) with the last quarter of Trump’s first year (2017), the results will be astoundingly embarrassing for those who thought Obama’s economy was the greatest in 40 years.

The claims of the great Obama economy will crumble just like the rest of his domestic and foreign policies.

Obama’s greatest achievement was to put a smile on Carter’s face by surpassing Carter the worst president in American history.

Obama forced 40% of publicly traded companies into bankruptcy (over 2000 companies), doubled the national debt to $20,000,000,000,000 (yes, trillion), doubled the number of people on food stamps to 40 million, increased the number of people on social security disability from less than 1 million to over 10 million, increased the number of working age unemployed by 40 million to 100 million, cut medicare and social security several times, and adjusted for inflation, had no growth in the economy for both his terms.

This is worse than any depression the US has ever experienced.

The economy is in bad shape. Market fundamentals are fragile—meaning a chance of a 35% to 65% correction is definitely coming. Over 94 million not in workforce. Expect an economic downturn as soon as Trump takes office so that he can be blamed. Also, in the mix is the Fed’s raising interest rated.

Obama's legacy advocates have been trying to sell that as the new normal.
