Ed Henry, the chief national correspondent for Fox News, fact-checked weekend Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth on Saturday after Hegseth claimed that former President Barack Obama should not be given credit for the healthy economy.
Hegseth began:
Democrats want to talk about health care. They dont want to talk about immigration. They cant talk about the economy. I mean Barack Obama is trying to say he rebuilt the economy.
At which point Henry chimed in:
Youve read the numbers, Im sure. Barack Obama created more jobs in his final 21 months than President [Donald] Trump has created in his first 21. Im not saying this President inherited it, but would you acknowledge that he was handed a better economy than Barack Obama got?

Most of them were government jobs.
94% of Hero’s jobs were wartime or temp. They don’t want to talk quality of jobs.
Omg, the auto correct on this new tablet sux.
94% of Zeros jobs were part-time or temp. They dont want to talk quality of jobs.
The premise is flawed. Presidents dont create jobs. Obama created REGULATIONS, which in turn depressed job growth and profits. Trump decreased regulations and taxes which permitted the private sector toe create jobs.
On Obamas side it’s probably jobs “created or saved”, their semantic accounting method of making employment numbers look good.
Actually, neither one of them created any jobs.
More jobs? But what kind of jobs? Remember when someone who has a job takes another additional job that counts as a creation of a job but it does not count towards lowering of jobless rate.
Compare the types of jobs. Trump increased full time jobs and across all sectors. Obozo managed low paying part time jobs. Numbers can be deceiving
Meaning that Obama gets credit for all the seasonal Christmas hires in 2016, but not the layoffs in January after all the returns are processed.

I wonder how many of those low-paying jobs were worked by the same person?
“Yeah, they reduced my hours at the factory, so I got a part-time job at McDonalds so I could pay the bills.”
Headline: “Jobs Double under Obama!”
Obama had the benefit of the Fed’s Quantitative Easing program for the last 6-7 years of his presidency, which pumped $4T into the economy. The Fed is shrinking it’s balance sheet now taking liquidity out of the system. FWIW.
Somebody smoking that good-good.
Yep, just go with THE BIG LIE, dems. It’s all you got.
I remember a headline about the time Obama was leaving about 100k jobs, maybe 2-3 months before leaving. Upon reading closer they were part time jobs at Taco Bell. Most of the job creation was part time jobs to avoid Obamacare.
all government...that was easy.
What lies.
The economy was improving in spite of 0bama not because of him.
Of course, obama created ZERO jobs, because “[he] didn’t build that”!!!!
GOTCHA!!!!
Maybe that Buffoon Austin Goolsbee was one of the “Noted Economists”
