3 Dec 2016: Weekly Standard: Media: If Trump’s Economy Is Good, Thank Obama
by Eric Felten
The Trump win was supposed to sink the economy. Instead, things—at least so far—seem to be looking up. And so a new media narrative has just been launched: If Donald Trump succeeds, it will be because President Barack Obama gave him such a great push. How else to explain the near simultaneous publication of two articles on Friday, one in Politico, the other at FiveThirtyEight...
The second, over at FiveThirtyEight, come from Ben Casselman and is headlined, “Trump Will Benefit From Obama’s Strong Job Market.” To Casselman’s credit (or that of his editor), the subhead is a bit more measured: “Donald Trump will inherit a job market that is strong but perhaps not quite firing on all cylinders.”...
So, just remember, if the economy surges in the coming year, it’s the Obama Boom. Should, however, growth and employment collapse, the poor will be living in Trumpville, natch.

It is scary to read that crap.
The left will believe it as they have nothing else.
They refuse to believe they are the stupid ones, that cannot be!
Trump is mocking 30 years of BS from DC.
