Obama Mocks Trump's 'Economic Miracle': Don't Forget When the Recovery Started

9/7/2018 12:48:00 PM - Cortney O'Brien

President Obama accepted an ethics award from the University of Illinois in Champaign, IL, Friday before delivering a speech to his audience of college students. Raised in Chicago, Obama said it "was good to be home," before making a few local references that delighted the students.

Obama's main objective, however, was to offer voters a message for the midterms. He did so by suggesting he and Democrats deserved the credit for the improving jobs numbers. Republicans in Congress and the Trump team have been promoting the stats. The U.S. added 201,000 jobs and wage gains increased to 2.9 percent in August.

BREAKING NEWS: 201,000 jobs added in August's #JobsReport, unemployment at 3.9%

👀

Yet, Obama was eager to rain on the Republicans' parade.

The GOP is promoting today's "economic miracle," Obama mocked. He asked voters to "remember when the recovery started." Today's economic numbers "were the same" in 2015 and 2016, he explained.

 Despite his crowing, the economy under performed under his watch.  Overall growth rate was below average since the end of the last  recession. We had one of the worst recoveries since the end of World War II under his watch.

 Its too early to declare Trump some kind of economic success. I’ve said in another thread, Trump should not be patting himself on the  back on the performance of the economy. Because if we end up in some kind of recession in the next couple years, then who does he blame?

 The biggest long term drain on robust economic growth is our growing debt. A problem which  Obama,  and now,Trump, seem to want to  continue

I don't know how Obama can spew this kind of dung without cracking a smile.

If we took him at his own words we would have to believe that the economy during most of the eight years of the Obama Administration belonged to Bush, and the economy during the first two years of the Trump Administration belonged to him.

    Don't Forget When the Recovery Started
It started when Republicans took back the House in 2011.
Then it picked up steam when they took back the Senate in 2015.
Finally it really hit stride when they got the Presidency in 2017.

In contrast:

When Obama took office in 2005, the economy was doing well, having recovered from the Enron and related fiascos mainly on the strength of housing prices.
When his Democrats took control of Congress, with him still as Senator, in 2007, gas prices were spiraling out of control.
By the time he was elected President in 2009, the economy was in freefall.

Oh, we remember, all right.

I guess to me, Obama and Trump fighting over who should get credit for the economy sounds kind of childish  on the part of both of them
