    Obama was fortunate to absorb a recession because it's easy to recover. He just happened to preside over the slowest recovery of all time while the fed did everything possible to help.

    When the Depression hit, Congress was much more united in passing legislation to stimulate infrastructure etc. Obama had an entire party blocking everything and any chance of bipartisanship during the height of the recession.

    And he still managed to make tremendous strides in the exact metric you were referring to?

    If he didn't follow his misguided Marxist views Obama would have bebefore from a great economy that did more than 2% GDP in most periods. But all he did was line the pockets of the wealthy with regulation and pushed down the middle class. His jibs were noted for being stuffed with part time roles with limited wage growth.

    With unprecedented resistance from government/media/silicon Valley trump has instituted policies that have encouraged tremendous optimism to the heights not seen for decades. Workers are getting bonus and now more money in their paychecks. When we start seeing high 3s and low 4's GDP it will be clear how terrible of a president Obama was and that's just on the economy. You bring in foreign policy and it's embarrassing hussein was ever the president of our great nation.

    He just got it back to a norm just 8 years before. But that doesn't include the record low labor participation rate for blacks which were at 30 year lows. He was a disastrous president. Not only has trump helped lower black unemployment to record lows but he also got more blacks in thebworkforce. It's not a debate. The numbers are all there.

    First, Obama had filibuster proof control in Congress. It doesn't get much more united than that.

    Second, we all remember the "stimulus" bill right? That was a real opportunity for infrastructure investment and an economic boost. It became a mixtape of special interest progressive pork instead.

    How embarassing that MSM paraded this fraud on their programming yesterday. It's clear they just don't care about real news and have been reduced to nothing more than a national enquirer esque production. That may be insulting to the national enquirer.

    And yet people actually believe this crap. What a sad state of affairs the left is in right now and they have no clue. Just can't come to grips with the fact they lost.

    ever have that sinking feeling that your whole worldview is unraveling before your eyes ?

    ..............................



    This is the Trump 2017 "jobs boom"
    It's the slowest job growth since 2010.

    Trump loves to talk about jobs so I'm sure he'd appreciate if this chart was shared widely.

    Rep. Don Beyer Retweeted Donald J. Trump

    When Bannon ran a racist blog, Trump hired him.

    After learning Bannon was charged with domestic abuse, Trump promoted him.

    When Bannon wrote a bigoted Muslim Ban, Trump approved it.

    When Bannon wanted Trump to take it easy on white supremacists in Charlottesville, he listened.

    Rep. Don Beyer added,

    I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist. Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!

    And when unemployment is zero, there will be 0 new jobs.

    Seriously, to compare job growth from a recession against job growth 8 years later is so stupid, and yet you keep going to that well.

    I'm still waiting on how the middle class has been gutted. You keep saying it but can't tell me why.

    Know what else Think Progress is reporting ?
    Lack of response by the Administration on Hurricane Maria

    or what I refer to as "Fend for Yourself"

    perhaps more reading of Think Progress you wouldn't find yourself so far behind
    or simply wrong on current events.

    Believing in Trump is the load of crap. Even he said way back in the day during a CNBC interview he wasn't presidential material. Shame he forgot that.
