And yet what Yahoo News got out of this session, under a big headline, was that the advisor contradicted Trump when the president had tweeted that for the first time ever the GDP had been high then the unemployment rate - only scant mention, and no big headline about contradicting Obama’s whole economic fantasy - fake news all day long, all the time.......

"The community organizer continues to bat .000 in economic comprehension."

You obviously forgot about the brilliant Cash for Clunkers program and the equally brilliant Shovel Ready infrastructure jobs programs/s.

Unfortunately, Obama later said the “shovel ready” didn’t mean what he and most people thought it did, as the 800 million didn't create many jobs.

Any honest reporter can debunk Obies claim.

Remember when they coined the phrase “saved or created”?

I’m seeing an incredible amount of road construction around town, this year.

I suppose it just took eight years for Obama’s stimulus money to get to his “shovel-ready” projects.

I think Barney Frank is more to blame.

Bloomberg propaganda has always pushed that Democrats were better for the economy, because CLinton etc...

And the idiots at walstreet getting their data from Bloomberg and communist Reuters lap it up.

“...he kept the economy suppressed for so long that there was a lot of pent up demand...”

Most accurate way to state the situation.

In eight years Obama couldn’t get the economy sparking.

Two years after his administration is over, he accomplishes the unthinkable, a 4.3% GDP growth rate.

Gosh Obama, you’re the man. (well, a figment of your own imagination)

President Donal Trump got this economy going, and everyone with half a brain knows it.

Of course this leaves you out.

The real telling sign of job creation is wage pressure. Obama had zero wage pressure, as no real jobs outside of government were created.

The few government positions created under Obama failed to create any wage pressure as no private employer would have hired the people who landed the government positions anyway.

Last week former President Obama spoke to a crowded venue packed with 750 adoring fans.

Meanwhile, current President Trump spoke in a venue with countless empty seats, and only 10,000 showing up.

How many of Obama’s job killing regulations has Trump gotten rid of?

I thought the recession was Maxipad’s fault. The CBC pushed for folks with no income be able to buy houses.

The banks were pressured to make those loans. Obummer destroyed whatever tiny jobs these would-be home owners had and they walked away and abandoned the homes.

BO doesn’t like criticism. I wonder how many times he will get back out there. I say he changes his plans.

>>For every year Donald Trump remains president, Obama will see his legacy disappear exponentially.

I think this summarizes the situation nicely.

I was watching this live. Some economist named Kevin before Sarah Sanders came up to smack down the kiddies who pretend to be journalists.

He was amazing.

I love how all the Obama lies make him so ineffective at trying to help the Dems do better....too many recordings/instances of "The new norm" "This is as good as it will ever get again-any improvements from now on are impossible" etc., etc...

Not to mention the Fed dropped interest rates to zero and then injected over $4 Trillion fake money to keep the disaster afloat...and since Trump has been in office, instead of trying to protect a weak economy, the Fed has raised rates 6 times and the economy is picking up speed....I hope Obama campaigns really really hard for them,.....
