Obama has had ZERO influence on the economy since Trump took office.
He never had ANY economic legislation passed in Congress...so Trump was able to erase Obama with the stroke of the pen.
And THEN the economy came back to life.

funny right? record highs in the stock market, record employment - stocks were jumping as soon as he was sworn in one massive vote of economic confidence after another by the markets.... and he instantly started wiping out executive orders and promising tax cuts to attract money and jobs and to start bringing companies back into the USA... CISCO just repatriated 65 BILLION Dollars... but nothing to do with Trump.
of course, when people said the recovery after the recession had little to do with Obama as it will recover regardless (though it was the worst recovery in a century), Rochard was insisting day and night that whoever is President gets full credit for what happens economically while he's in office. .. now the President doesn't get full credit.... because,... Trump.
i feel like i now live in a nation of 12 year olds.
remember 25 years ago? they would argue about the types of jobs being created, the types of industry being created etc etc etc. Clinton made a play to call unprecendented job growth "creating a nation of hamburger flippers" as an example of cleverly challenging the numbers and those sorts of battles back and forth between left and right ... but today, there is no discussion. zero. just "hate Trump at all costs". fucking people are flat out denying economic growth right now. denying low unemployment numbers - the same numbers they defended day and night during Obama, saying they were unimpeachable.
i thought about what you were saying not too long ago and tried to leave CNN on for 1/2 the day while i worked. it was impossible. it was like watching a sewing circle of angry old women all sounding like the exact same broken record. they dont even talk news anymore, they just push an agenda... and even crazier, their ratings are literally in a full freefall across the board and they still don't care.
