Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker both argued during Sunday interviews that former President Barack Obama deserves the credit for a good economy under President Donald Trump.
The U.S. Labor Department announced Wednesday that the unemployment rate had hit 3.6%, the lowest rate since 1969. The report did note that 490,000 people left the workforce, but the gain was due in part to an increase in hiring in professional and business services, along with construction and healthcare jobs.

Despite those gains, the pair decided that the credit went to Obama, not Trump, for the dramatic gain in the nation’s economy, during interviews Sunday morning on “State of the Union with Jake Tapper.”
“You know what I’m thinking about? I’m thinking about when we were in that downturn and President Obama came into office and he had to deal with that with the Congress to try to, one, right the financial industry and, two, get us on the road to recovery,” Klobuchar asserted during the interview. “I remember that the Republicans were giving him grief when he took any credit for that. So I think that we have had policies in place starting with President Obama that have aided that recovery.”
Booker then added a similar statement in his interview: “First of all, I love that Trump is taking credit for a recovery that started under Obama.”

100% Delusional! 100% Certifiable! Now with more nuts! :)
Incredible. But at least they are admitting the economy is good. So, it is a start.
is this the Joke of the day thread?
This really is quite consistent for the Democrats. Obama spent his entire two terms blaming the miserable economic results his policies yielded on the W. Bush administration.
They also still think illary won:-)
Even the sheeple aren’t stupid enough to believe this nonsense.
Amy would only be sticking her neck out if she wasn’t worried about Trump taking MN.
Trump needs to hammer the Gun Confiscation message in the Midwest.
We had a depression under Obozzo worse than anything since the failed politics of FDR in the 1930s.
We were very close to canabalism in some parts in the country due to the failed policies and massed unemployment of Obozzo.
Trump has preceded over a economic boom unparalleled in history. He is the greatest economic mind the Republic has ever known
If we went into a recession tomorrow, would the same Dems blame Obama..nah of course not
Yeah,
It was the magic negro and all his gub mint rules, regulation and B.S. That helped this bid ness surge.
How f-ing stoopid these dems are.
You go Donald.
They will ALWAYS believe Hillary won..after all, they were so close to turning America full Communist, Trump destroyed that plan
Good luck convincing Americans with brains (i.e. not democrat NPCs) that Obama was an economic miracle worker and it just took exactly eight and half years for his boom to finally kick in.
The person who can answer that question does not exist.
Fortunately, that’s the only thing they lie about. /s
They’re full of excrement!
“Success has many fathers. Failure is an orphan.”
These are the same clowns who ran around stating that oral sex wasn’t sex.
There’s a word for what they are doing. It’s called harfing.
