Former President Barack Obama on Friday used a speech at the University of Illinois to sharply criticize his successor as well as claim ownership of the U.S. economic recovery. Speaking in Urbana, Ill., where he received an ward for ethics in government, Obama recalled that the U.S. economy was losing 800,000 jobs a month when he entered office. “We worked hard to end that crisis but also break some of these longer-term trends,” said Obama, who is planning a series of campaign trips ahead of the midterm elections in November. “By the time I left office, household income was near its all-time high, and the uninsured rate had hit an all-time low and wages were rising,” he said. “I mention all this so when you hear how great the economy is doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started.

And the lib media is gonna tote that water 24/7. mark my words.
I claim credit for inventing the internet
Say anything. It doesn’t matter. Any narrative from the Left will be legitimized by the MSM. Watch and see.
So, a year and a half ago Obama was saying this type of improvement could only accomplished with a “magic wand”. Now he’s taking credit for it?
This from the genius who said it couldn’t be done.
You didn't do that, Barry Hussein. Somebody else made that happen.
Editors....they ain’t what they used to be are they?
*** Obama’s ONLY accomplishment — LIES!! ***
Thank you for reminding me why I disliked the guy.
Hey Obama! “You didn’t do that!!”
Can’t WAIT to see what Trump has to say about THIS!!!!
It will be stated ad-nauseum by the media but it won’t be legitimized. They are now in the law of diminishing returns.
too funny, did he also invent the internet?
My God. He is like getting the Clap from the same woman for the 5th Time.
Every day I ask myself how much further they can go with lying. The Dem party is so sick right now and they are trying to infect the whole country.
Obama/dem strategists know that no one on the right and most in the middle wont buy into this bull. This is all purely for the consumption of the left. They fear that the dem voters are being disheartened by the strong economy and that doubts are creeping into their minds about Trump being the cause. This is all about bolstering the morale of the left.
Let’s just put it this way. If this is Obama’s recovery, then why hasn’t all the stuff that Trump did that was supposed to be so terrible, stop or reverse it?
Obvious answer is obvious.
