Guest shiloh357 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Obama gave a speech at the University of Illinois Friday and arrogantly took credit for Trump’s booming economy. Barack Obama couldn’t even run a lemonade stand; he is the only president in history to never see a single year of 3.0% GDP growth yet here he is with a smug look on his face giving himself credit for Trump’s accomplishments. Obama also called out Trump by his name. Here are the real numbers… The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced its August jobs report Friday morning. Unemployment is down to 3.9%, while more people are employed in the US than at any time in history. But the big news is that this century, since the year 2000, more than 20% of all job increases have occurred during the Trump years. The US GDP for the second quarter accelerated to a whopping 4.1% under the leadership of President Donald Trump. This is another BIG Trump win. This doubles the first quarter growth of 2.2% Atlanta Fed projects a 3rd Quarter GDP of 4.6%!

Guest shiloh357 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 It is interesting that Obama is trying to take credit for job numbers he said could not happen. Liberals forget what Obama said back in 2016 when he mocked Trump's predictions on the economy under a Trump presidency.

However, the rapid rise of minimum wage has always brought large scale inflation, which hurts us who are retired and on fixed incomes. Locally people are being laid off and food prices are skyrocketing to cover the wage increases. We'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 You will notice, if you watched the whole speech, that there were no hecklers or protestors at Obama's speech. No Trump supporters were there protesting or shouting at him. But then again, Trump supporters actually have jobs and other things that are far more important than showing up just to heckle the former president.

If they are bound and determined, try golf, it's a much better way to frustrate yourself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The financial disaster was in full swing and one of the questions asked during Q&A time was, "Which one of these guys would be best to guide us thru this mess?" The answer, "It doesn't matter, the economy is not going to be put into the hands of a four year term elected official."...…"It will be a slow process that could take upward of a decade, hopefully sooner, to be back in full swing, this was a bigger hit than anyone will let on. It will take time."...."Slow growth for health reasons." So Obama nor Trump have much of anything to do with the economy. They can fiddle here or there but when it comes to economy I don't think any president will ever be able to do something as reckless as Clinton did with deregulating mortgage lending. Bush actually tried getting the Senate banking comity to reel in Fanny and Freddy. Just about everyone was to blame in the end. But this is not Trumps economy nor is it Obamas. It's just politics.

Obama and the Left had no problem blaming Bush for eight years of a bad Obama economy. And now he wants to take credit for two years of a good economy that has had nothing to do with him, but rather is the result of reversing his awful policies. Trump's policies actually DID have a lot to do with the economy, particularly the removal of a lot of business crushing regulations that made it near impossible to do business or to start businesses. Bringing manufacturing jobs has a lot to do with it. Trump has had an amazing effect on our economy. If Trump had been a regular politician, it would not have happened. But Trump is not a typical politician and he actually keeps his promises and that has had amazing effect on prosperity in the US. Not only that, but even more importantly, Trump has stood with Israel and this has brought God's blessings upon us in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Gen 12:3) Trump has blessed Israel more than any U.S. President to date. I understand the principle and you may be right in part but the economy is an iffy barometer to weigh spiritual things. Historians place the best economy the northern tribes of Israel ever had during the reign of Ahab. Just about all the prophets prophecied during economic good times. It's one of the reasons the people turned a deaf ear to them and listened to the false prophets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
