Obama Complains Trump Getting Credit for ‘Economic Miracle'
2018-09-08
[Breitbart Texas] Former President Barack Obama appeared upset on Friday that President Donald Trump was getting credit for the booming economy.

The former president made his remarks at the University of Illinois after the United States economy posted more positive news; over 200,000 jobs created and a 3.9 percent unemployment rate in August.

Obama reminded students that they were probably too young to remember how the economy was on the brink of depression when he took office.

"When you hear how great the economy is doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started," he said.

"When you hear about this economic miracle that’s been going on... when the job numbers come out ... suddenly Republicans are saying, ’It’s a miracle,'" he said. "I have to kind of remind them, actually those job numbers are the same as they were in 2015 and 2016."

#10  Baraq is full of shit. He always was. So he goes to some university and he starts spreading it to a bunch of college kids who don't know any better and the MSM never call him on any of it.

#5  The economy wasn't the only thing on the brink of depression when Obie took office. Me, I was anticipating a decade of government cheese.

#4  Problem is that he actually believes the cooked reports he and his lackeys published, you recall the ones that were a week or so later always 'revised downward'.

#2  Son say's the U of I speech was lottery only for members of the Student Democrats. Only %10 who wanted tickets actually won and were vetted for them. He said out of his MBA program year only one person got in. People with winning tickets had to show up 3 hours early to be vetted.

#1  Your shadow government a few blocks from Trumps hugely successful White House is turning out to be a useless little appendage so the empty suit man child can only resort to throwing a tantrum.

Where ïs John McCain when they need him!
