Obama tries to take credit for current economy....

Ok.. I'm only getting half the conversation but I see it DNC talking points..

BTW anybody notice how graphs are now the rage among the democrats talking points? I've seen them used by elements of the MSM.

 

How's this for research?

2014 $17.527 $16.912 2.5% QE ends
2015 $18.225 $17.404 2.9% TPP, Iran deal
2016 $18.715 $17.689 1.6% Presidential race
2017 $19.519 $18.108 2.4% Trump Tax Act
2018 $20.580 $18.638 2.9% Deficit spending
2019 $21,429 $19,073 2.3% Trade war

Other than 2016 at 1.6%, the numbers are not that different.

 

What does congress have to do with this thread about obama?

 

Was he a member of that Democrat Congress which took majority control of the government a year before the recession even began? Did that political power shift from Republican to Democrat in 2007 or 2009? When Pelosi and Reid won back the Congress in 2007 after a 10 year dominance by Republicans did they just roll over and acquiesce power to Bush and just do his bidding?

 

Bluesguy, the steel expansion in the US is less than the steel business closings.

Bluesguy, you do know the GOP was in charge from 1994 and 2006, and underwrote the entire run up to the Great Recession.

 

I find it fascinating how so many on the right go to extreme lengths to deny Obama the credit he was due for leading us out of the recession and a possible depression. The comment that the economy was coming out of the recession when he became POTUS is so absurd that it does not deserve a response. As for meaningful answers, if anyone believes what this poster thinks is accurate then no response can possibly dissuade him or her. It is pointless.

 

Ahh the fact remains the recession, which started a year after he and his fellow Democrats took back the Congress in 2007, was 2/3's over when he moved to the White House, it ended the following June. The job loss rated bottomed out the month he moved to the White House. He "saved" nothing. His job was to get us into a full recovery and at that he was a total failure it was the worst recovery in modern history.

 

Show me where future capacity is projected to decrease.

The recession didn't start until 2008.

 

Struth, the Mueller report concluded that enough evidence of 11 OOJ crimes occurred that they have been laid on the table for the incoming Dem AG. The House did not exonerate Trump in the slightest.

Struth, there was no jury misconduct. None will be found.

McCabe talked fully with Durham, leaving Durham with nothing to charge him.

Durham let McCabe walk clear and free without any required cooperation in return.

Bluesguy, the underlaying factors of the collapse of 2008 were the result of the GOP Congress since 1994 mismanaging the economic factors.

 

Irrelevant.

 

It is good obama endorsed the Trump economy but why won't he endorse Biden?



Perhaps Barry likes winning!

 

Obama is responsible for the current economy, that Trump is trying break.

 

obama is giving Trump the thumbs up on a job well done.



I guess Barry wants to be on the right side of history.
