Gotta love our president. He hits back every single time. President Obama was perhaps the worst POTUS ever. He should not be allowed to take credit for the booming Trump economy. #Trump2020!

Trump fires back after Obama claims credit for economic boom: ‘Con job’

By Fox News, February 17th, 2020.

President Trump fired back Monday after former President Barack Obama, in a subtle swipe at the commander in chiief, claimed credit for the economic gains in both their terms.

Obama tweeted Monday morning to note the anniversary of his signing the 2009 economic stimulus package.

“Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history,” Obama tweeted, alongside a photo of his signature on the bill.

But, the Trump campaign, in a statement to Fox News, countered that the economy was recovering only because of the actions Trump took to undo his predecessor’s policies.

“President Trump reversed every single failed Obama-era economic policy, and with it, reversed the floundering Obama/Biden economy,” Trump campaign national press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said. “Obama and Biden orchestrated the worst economic recovery in modern history.”

She added: “By contrast, though, deregulating, lowering taxes, and supporting free-market policies, President Trump has created the hottest economy on record, with unemployment hitting generational lows and all-time lows for African Americans, Hispanics, the disabled, veterans and many other hard-working Americans.”

“Paychecks are growing at the fastest pace in a decade and twice as fast for low- and middle-income Americans,” she continued. “It’s no wonder Democrats seek to take credit for the Trump economy after eight years of betraying blue-collar workers and inflicting pain upon the middle class as Americans everywhere suffered. But the failed days of Democrat stagnation are over, and the soaring Trump economy is here to stay.”

Trump turns the tables: “One of my greatest achievements as President will be exposing corruption”
https://truepundit.com/trump-my-great-accomplishment-as-president-will-be-exposing-corruption-video/
“And by the way, that’s one other thing. If you look, this was all about Russia Russia, Russia. They don’t talk about Russia anymore. Because it turned out to be a hoax, it was all a hoax. And then they say, ‘Gee he fought back. Isn’t that terrible? He fought back.’ Of course I fought back. Because it was a false accusation, a totally false accusation. It’s a disgrace! It’s a very sad period for this country. And I think in the end I will consider this to be one of my greatest achievements: exposing this corruption.”

Reagan became the best president in modern times by passing Kennedy, but Trump has passed Reagan and is now #1. Funny how right after we have the worst president we elect the best.

I don’t think that Nixon is the second or third worse president, more likely Johnson. His signature on the Civil Rights Act only came because of intense pressure by Republicans, who also got the Act past both houses of Congress. Lyndon Johnson was likely a closet racist and a white supremacist. You can believe that he wanted to table the bill.

Obama: Taking credit for jobs he said would never return.

Obama had the fed on his side.
Trump did it mostly without the fed.

Ben Bernanke of the Fed was the one who saved the economy from the crisis in 2008 with his moves and QE program (months before Obama took office).
He was appointed by Bush, but Obama kept him – that should tell us something.

Illegitimate Manchurian Marxist Candidate Barack Hussein Obama was an arrogant, malignant, narcissistic, evil PRICK. He was a preening, dim-witted puppet of Soros and was in a heavily sedated, drugged condition for 8 years. Trump saved this country IN SPITE OF THIS ASS CLOWN. Barack Hussein Obama couldn’t find his skinny butt with 2 hands and a mirror. I pray daily for a slow painful death for this bastard.

The chimp (obama) is full of sh*t. I have never done worse financially than I did when he was running things. I actually had to go on welfare for the first time in my life! It was devastating! I was close to abject poverty and I’ll never forget him saying “those jobs just aren’t coming back.” I was in a store tonight and was talking with one of the employees there and she told me that she was heading towards living in her car because of the chimps economy (I think the word “disaster” is more fitting). Today I’m working and making $$$. I just bought a new truck and I’m off welfare! Thank you president Trump! I call my new truck the Trump truck.

Leftist logic: Obama blamed Bush for every bad thing that occurred during his eight years and takes the credit for anything good that happened during Trump’s first term.

Apparently the 400,000 murdered Syrians were all Bush’s fault. Obama’s capitulation to Iran has nothing to with the mass slaughter.

Obama’s claim is akin to stores’ claim, “Buy more and save more.” When you are spending you are not saving that is why the adage, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” He increased taxes and regulation yet claims his policies are responsible for current economic boom. That is illogical. Using his logic lets have 100% tax and regulate out of existence to have maximum possible prosperity right now. Obama has no shame.

So let’s look at Obummer’s “successes” and know that he doesn’t have a clue:
– Cash For Clunkers = billions wasted, nothing gained.
– Solar Energy Scandals like Solindra = billions thrown away on schemes of now bankrupted companies with nothing to show for it.
– Shovel Ready Jobs = nothing substantial happened, trillions wasted, nothing stimulated, roads and bridges REMAINED in terrible shape.

– Shut down the coal industry = jobs lost, energy lost, cost of making goods soared

– Shut down the Gulf Coast oil industry for years = no new energy produced
– Required a Tax on people through Obamacare = more taxes taken means less to spend and invest
– Factories and jobs were actually LEAVING the US permanently (he said only a “magic wand” would bring them back) = less jobs, less money to spend or invest.

And remember, just about every Summer through his 8 years, Quid Pro Joe Biden was out saying, “this is the Summer of Recovery”… crickets… nothing EVER happened. Real history shows Obama was actually a negative DRAIN on our economy.
