Goodwill between presidents took a back seat on Presidents Day 2020.

Former President Barack Obama appeared to take a rare political jab at his successor in a tweet Monday that cast aspersions on President Trump's claims that he deserves credit for recent economic gains, a key reelection platform for the 45th president.

"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 said, including with the tweet a picture of his signature on the 2009 stimulus package.

Trump campaign fires back after Obama claims credit for economic boom

excerpt:

“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.”

Am I misremerbering..or did not the wise man Obama tell everyone to get used to the economy under his  administration? That's just the way it is now?

Just shut up and eat your peas because you didn't build that.

“Managed decline” was the best that commie fraud offered us.

@corbe

I HAVE to believe that is a photo shop. He/she/it has WAAAY too much to lose to ever allow a photo like that to be taken.

Poor 0bama - all his wonderful "accomplishments" get no respect even from his own party - he's reduced to popping up now and then to plead for people to remember that he was once president too.
