Obama raised taxes, regulation, debt, promulgated bad trade deals, was pro-union and hostile to capital investment. In what mind-numbed universe were these economic policies going to produce meaningful economic expansion?

And the proof was there. Even though he started from a low spot coming off a recession, he never managed over 3% in a given year. His economy was so anemic that the Federal Reserve wouldn't dare raise interest rates from basically zero.

Obama himself said we had to resign ourselves to lower economic expectations. Those manufacturing jobs were never coming back. His predictions were wrong. His policies were anything but growth oriented - but now he wants credit? That cannot be reconciled with the facts.
