Americans responded to the end of obamanomics as well as the end of the worse presidency in the history of the country with a long overdue economic boom.

Vice President Mike Pence had a message for former President Barack Obama at the Values Voter Summit Saturday: the American economy is booming because the Trump administration is rolling back Obama administration policies.
“It’s been two years of promises made and promises kept, and we’re just getting started,” Pence told the conference audience in Washington, DC. He cited more than four million jobs created since President Donald Trump took office, record low black and Hispanic unemployment, wages rising at the fastest pace in a decade, and the highest middle class income in recorded history.
Pence said this did not just happen, but, rather, it happened because the American people made a choice in 2016. He compared the Obama administration with Trump’s administration. He said the last administration stifled the country under red tape and declared war on American energy, whereas, “Under President Trump, the war on coal and American energy is over.”

Pence redeemed himself, unexpectedly.
In the sense, that VP is usually the attack dog of the tag team.
And when will Obama claim he ended WW2??? Or maybe the Cold War....???
I notice from Facebook to Yahoo and YouTube the lefty trolls are thanking The One for the economic recovery. They no longer dismiss that an economic recovery is occurring, but they are desperately trying to give Obama credit for it. Thankfully, even on those lefty sites the Dems are getting smacked around pretty good by people defending the president, and it’s quite a few too. I think too often we see everything through our prism here at FR. There’s a helluva lot of non-Freepers who believe in many of the same things we do.
REALITY CHECK Obama lacerated Trump, bragging he never called Fox "enemies of state."
N-o-o-o-o, he didnt do that....he just unleashed the full force of the DOJ, in the person of AG Eric Holder to pounce on Fox reporter James Rosen AND to intimidate Rosen's family.
Holder and Obama issued a court order for Fox News reporter James Rosen's emails, that labeled Rosen a criminal "co-conspirator."
theguardian.com Circa 2013
The Justice Department did more than seize a Fox News reporter’s emails while suggesting he was a criminal “co-conspirator” in a leak case — it did so under one of the most serious wartime laws in America, the Espionage Act. It is now well known that the Obama justice department has prosecuted more government leakers under the 1917 Espionage Act than all prior administrations combined - in fact, double the number of all such prior prosecutions.
But as the controversy over the Obama DOJ’s pursuit of the phone records of AP reporters illustrated, this obsessive fixation in defense of secrecy also targets, and severely damages, journalists specifically and the news-gathering process in general.
New revelations emerged yesterday in the Washington Post that are perhaps the most extreme yet when it comes to the DOJ’s attacks on press freedoms. It involves the prosecution of State Department adviser Stephen Kim, a naturalized citizen from South Korea who was indicted in 2009 for allegedly telling Fox News’ chief Washington correspondent, James Rosen, that US intelligence believed North Korea would respond to additional UN sanctions with more nuclear tests - something Rosen then reported. Kim did not obtain unauthorized access to classified information, nor steal documents, nor sell secrets, nor pass them to an enemy of the US.
Instead, the DOJ alleges that he merely communicated this innocuous information to a journalist - something done every day in Washington - and, for that, this arms expert and long-time government employee faces more than a decade in prison for “espionage”.
The focus of a Post report is that the Obama DOJ’s surveillance of Rosen extended far beyond even what Obama did to AP reporters. The FBI tracked Rosen’s movements in and out of the State Department, traced the timing of his calls, and - most amazingly - obtained a search warrant to read two days worth of his emails, as well as all of his emails with Kim. In this case, said the Post, “investigators did more than obtain telephone records of a working journalist suspected of receiving the secret material.” It added that “court documents in the Kim case reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist”.
But what makes this revelation particularly disturbing is that Obama's DOJ, in order to get this search warrant, insisted that Fox's Rosen - a journalist - committed serious crimes. The DOJ specifically argued that by encouraging his source to disclose classified information - something investigative journalists do every day - Rosen himself broke the law.
Describing an affidavit from FBI agent Reginald Reyes filed by the DOJ, the Post reports [emphasis added]: “Reyes wrote that there was evidence Rosen had broken the law, ‘at the very least, either as an aider, abettor and/or co-conspirator’. That fact distinguishes his case from the probe of the AP, in which the news organization is not the likely target. Using italics for emphasis, Reyes explained how Rosen allegedly used a ‘covert communications plan’ and quoted from an e-mail exchange between Rosen and Kim that seems to describe a secret system for passing along information. . . .
However, it remains an open question whether it’s ever illegal, given the First Amendment’s protection of press freedom, for a reporter to solicit information. No reporter, including Rosen, has been prosecuted for doing so.” Under US law, it is not illegal to publish classified information. That fact, along with the First Amendment’s guarantee of press freedoms, is what has prevented the US government from ever prosecuting journalists for reporting on what the US government does in secret. This newfound theory of the Obama DOJ - that a journalist can be guilty of crimes for “soliciting” the disclosure of classified information - is a means for circumventing those safeguards and criminalizing the act of investigative journalism itself.
These latest revelations show that this is not just a theory but one put into practice, as the Obama DOJ submitted court documents accusing a journalist of committing crimes by doing this.—SNIP—
I'm just waiting for Obama to take credit for the Browns win last weekend!
Obama ended Ebola and Zika ,then he stopped the starvation on Mars
Obama was AWOL for most of his two terms...golf. His goal seemed to be to DESTROY the USA. No, the gibbering idiot cannot take credit for the economy he tried to kill.
This is how sycophants play.
In the 2000s when the economy was doing well, the Dems tried to give Clinton credit, but GWBush’s tax cuts did more.
However, in the later 2000s when the economy started to stumble, the GWBush sycophants blamed Clinton and the Dem Congress.
When Obama got in, he blamed the depression-like economy on GWBush. Of course, none of his policies helped as he tried to proclaim the ‘new normals’ in economy, jobs, etc. It would have even been worse, except for the massive bailouts/infrastructure money Congress appropriated and the near zero interest rates.
Now, Obama and the Dems want to claim success for the Trump economy. Regrettably, for them, the facts show almost immediate improvement the day following the November election, 2016. Go figure.
Bump!
Yep. The Trump boom is a direct result of our President wisely repudiating the disastrous policies that caused the Obama depression.
Bush I had the recession
BJ Clinton gave us the malaise
Bush II gave us the crash
Obama faves us the second depression
Trump gave us the boom. Historians may judge him responsible for an age of prosperity unrivalled in the history of the Republic
"Barack Obama told supporters that
'change has come to America' as he
claimed victory in a historic presidential election."

Roll back his enemy islamism.
Pig-dog jihadist soebarkah….
Great to see Obama on the campaign Trail. His Ever more graying hair will only serve to remind people that his eight years in office seemed like a miserable eternity.
Obama, still the consummate liar. You have to admit that he is very, very good at it.
Too many brain dead dim lemmings still worship the wun.
This admin needs to ignore Obamy and his ME! Me! Me!
“Pence to Obama: Economy Booming Because Trump Administration Rolling Back Failed Obama Policies”
Obama’s “policies” were intended to fail.
My son is at the Values conference.
