I'm going to lose my mind if he doesn't stop taking credit for the Obama economy.

I'm not going to use his name today, but every positive number about employment, GDP, trade, etc. is the result of Obama's policies. And just check out his Twitter feed if it's not clear why I'm posting this today.

Does he really think that a bunch of executive orders eliminating regulations on greenhouse gas emissions and coal mining, or the decision to allow companies to refuse to pay their employees for overtime is what's driving growth?

1. it is indeed ridiculous. obama get unemployment in half, nearly tripled the stock market, and

gave us the longest-running growth economy on record.

donnie can't claim to have *done* a single thing that would have actually helped the economy; nevertheless, the best he can claim is that he hasn't screwed it up yet.


the propaganda around giving him credit for the hard work of democrats and a black, democratic president is horrifying.

2. It's the way it is. We benefitted from Bush's TARP

Of course the Obama admin did a great job of managing it and doing other things to promote a healthy market economy, too.

5. Good point, although Obama didn't shamelessly tweet about it multiple times a week. NT

6. True that. n/t

7. Very true. That's just one example among many where Obama was presidential and Trump was not.

9. President Bush took the necessary steps to stabilize the economy.

And the right wing Republicans in the House and Senate fought him every step of the way. I was aghast. Those people are willfully ignorant and more dangerous than most people can even begin to imagine.

And now they are in control.

3. Sorry for your loss, but it is inevidible

8. Don't worry.

Two years from now, he'll be giving Obama *all* the credit for the economy!
