Larry Kudlow fires back at Cory Booker's claim Obama deserves credit for economic recovery
Fox News ^ | May 5, 2019 | Samuel Chamberlain

National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow denounced Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Sunday after the 2020 White House candidate said President Trump was "taking credit for a recovery that started under [former President Barack] Obama."

"What Mr. Booker and some others are saying is simply not true factually," Kudlow told Fox News' "America's News HQ".

Kudlow spoke two days after the publication of the April jobs report, which showed that the American economy added 263,000 jobs last month while the unemployment rate fell to 3.6 percent, the lowest since 1969. Despite the rosy numbers, Booker insisted that the boom's effects were not being felt across all economic levels.

Obama talking about Trump's promise tp bring back manufacturing jobs in 2016:
"Well, how exactly are you going to do that? What exactly are you going to do? There's no answer to it," Obama said.

"He just says, 'Well, I'm going to negotiate a better deal.' Well, what, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn't have an answer."

Tariffs, better deals and a general belief that our trade is to help America rather than other countries along with deregulation, especially Obama's explosion of regulations. That's the magic wand.

I’ll give the big O’hole some of the credit. Because of his ineptitude and diabolical presidency he helped insure the HILDEBEAST lost the election.

What trips up those who are trying to claim this is Obama's recovery is Obama's own claim of the new normal and jobs not coming back.

That was what Obama was selling. The Stock Market turned around on election night 2016.

When have the Craps said ANYTHING factually?

For 6 years Obama blamed President Bush for his failures. Now the bast@rd want to take credit for President Trumps successes.

All I know is that Obama won WWII for us, and that’s enough.

And then he served in Vietnam, right alongside John Kerry. In fact, he bound up Kerry's wounds! And went on to personally kill his cousin, bin Laden.

Well, which is it. Is it Obama's very unequal boom, or is it Trump's unequal boom?

Or maybe it is Odungo's boom, but Trump made it unequal...

Obama was the mastermind behind the 8 year recovery. Most economic recoveries take 2-3 years. Obama’s recovery took 8 years to kick in, and those 8 years just happened to coincide with his 8 years in office. Imagine that. You would have thunk the genius, in all his brilliance, would have been able to engineer a recovery that actually took place while he was still in office.

Typical Lib...

Blame your predecessor for all YOUR problems first half of term and then take credit for your successor’s successes first half of his term.

If your successor flops or staggers, just claim it was straightening out when you left.

Like Biden last week - saying he should get the nomination etc because of all his experience in DC...then - before the canned applause dies down he was railing about DC being broken and needs him to fix it even though he was a member-a leading member at that.
