The Obama economy is trouble for Hillary Clinton

A slew of bad economic headlines last week made it official: The Obama economy has failed. As noted in the Wall Street Journal, “Even seven years after the recession ended . . . in terms of average annual growth, the pace of this expansion has been by far the weakest of any since 1949.” The economy has grown at an annual rate of only 2.1 percent since the recession ended in June 2009, compared with annual growth of 4.3 percent during the economic expansion from 1982 to 1990. So what does this mean for Hillary Clinton? Let’s remember, economic circumstances produce political consequences. As I have said before, if we had better economic growth under President Obama, we wouldn’t have Donald Trump today. Despite all the headlines surrounding the lunacy coming from Trump, at the end of the day, economic issues are what drive votes.
