Everything I said was 100% accurate and honest. Get over it.
Sure. Go to “Recession Warning”. Go to “Manufacturing Sector Contracts as Trump Trade war Hits”. The Hope for recession is tangible, and they know who to blame.
Cross check those posts with those who answered the poll stating that they would rather have a recession than four more years of Trump.
I’m not gong through several hundred posts one at a time for you.
Great… you made the claim and then tell ME to look it up? LOL
What a pointless discussion. We’re done here.
The only thing stupider than that poll are any conclusions drawn from it.
You know the thread and how to scroll don’t you?
Then it should be easy for you to point out which posts are being referred to. I’m not the one who made the claim.
Blah blah blah.
2.5 MILLION jobs a year, all other things considered, would have a significant impact.
I’m sorry you seem to have such a problem with facts.

The facts are that Obama inherited a tanking economy, and left his successor long-term, stable, growing economy.
Trump drove the last hour of the trip, but is being given credit for getting everyone to their destination safely on a 15 hour drive.
There aren’t enough laughy faces.
Obama inherited an economy that was nearing it’s bottom and was responsible for the slowest and worst recovery in history.
We didn’t reach max unemployment for the recession until October of Obama’s first year. Since UE seems to be the only metric you want to talk about, then let’s use that.
Boring, predictable, parroted right-wing media response. YAWN.
Obama took office during the 2nd worst economic downtown in US history… let me say that again…2nd worst economic downtown in US history……only bested by the Great Depression…and Obama left Trump with strong market, a record length of job creation, etc, etc, etc.
If long-term, steady growth is considered the “slowest and worst” recovery in history, then sign me up every time. Slow and steady wins the race, especially when things were REALLY bad. Better right than fast.
So what exact metrics are you considering in that stale talking point?
It was nothing compared to what we had in 1980-82 with double digit UE, Inflation, and Interest rates.
Your feelings on the matter are not relevant.
The “Great Recession” that Obama inherited was the 2nd worst economic downswing in US history, only coming in behind the Great Depression. This is a fact not up for dispute. I’m sorry you don’t like facts.
If you want to complain that it was the “slowest and worst recovery,” especially in comparison to Reagan, then surely it doesn’t need to be explained to you that Reagan was able to get away with spending his way out of a recession…along with the fact that interest rates and inflation also both dropped, leading to economic boom.
Obama’s spending faced harsh opposition, so much that Fox News hosted Tea Parties helping protesti his dangerous spending. Not only that, but this wasn’t just a US recession, but a global one. Obama was expected to fix the recession with both arms and a leg tied behind his back.
Now wait, you told me earlier that Obama only had a few months of recession, but now you’re telling me the Misery Index increased to its highest point under Obama around 2011. And then starts dropping.
That CAN’T be the metric you used to determine:
Because according to the data you just provided, things were not looking peachy keen 3 months into Obama’s presidency.
You didn’t help your case just now.
Reagan has a mix of being allowed to spend, and some luck, while Obama faced harsh resistance, is STILL criticized to this day for his recession spending, despite presiding over a record length of job growth.
I made no such statement, I didn’t even mention recession.
You’d think real wages would be rising significantly higher than they are in that type of situation. Especially when companies got a massive deficit fueled tax cut. Oh wait, they spent that money on stock buybacks. Oops.
