If Trump is doing such a bad job running the country, why is Obama trying to take credit for it? :thinking: :sweat_smile:


Because lying, blaming everyone else for all the massive screw ups he made and or overlooked and embarrassments when he was President and taking credit for all of the accomplishments of other people is what Obama was good at.

That guy was one big screw up. The best part of him ran down his mommas butt cheeks during conception.


I hear this claim all the time here that Obama was nothing but a liar, but no one can tell me the top 10 lies he told. I even gave the first one for free "You can keep your own doctor". I have yet to hear the other 9 lies that complete his Top 10.

On the other hand, I can easily give you the top 10 lies that our current guy has pushed in the past 18 months, without even working up a sweat.

Obama owns this good economy, a simple look at the charts pre-11/2016 shows that this economy is continuing on the straight line that Obama policies got it on. Contrary to what was claimed in this thread, the economy did not tank while he was president, Obama inherited the Bush recession and turned it around.

Trump has done nothing to influence the economy since coming in 18 months ago.... which is actually a good thing, because he hasn't screwed up something that was already going well. The jury is still out on what tariffs are going to do to the economy, and if the increase on prices on Chinese goods impacts Walmart, we could be seeing a net loss of jobs.




I understand how you feel. Many put statements on these forums with absolutely nothing to back them up. Most times the statements are easy to shoot down. Anybody with a thinking brain knows just by reading whether a statement has a "tinfoil" hat, or wild conspiracy sound to it.

And when they refuse or get angry when someone asks them to back up what they say, it just takes away even more credibility to the statement posted.

NPR is the media arm of the DNC and Democrats.


Not completely true.

"The Pew survey found that the NPR audience tends Democratic (17% Republican, 37% independent, 43% Democratic) and liberal (21% conservative, 39% moderate, 36% liberal). NPR stations generally do not subscribe to the Arbitron rating service and are not included in published ratings and rankings such as Radio & Records.


A good chunk is independent. Another good chunk is moderate. Which means that the station isn't just a voice for the Dems. When you add them together, 76% of the listeners are either moderate or independent.

I looked at that.

I had heard of NPR. Never found it on the radio, or so I thought.So I looked up my local station. I found it, and I do listen to it occasionally. What this station programs, isn't exactly what NPR programs. As a matter of fact, I hadn't heard of any of the programs that they broadcast. They do a lot of music, a few religious broadcasts and the rest, meah.

I guess they do podcasts. Since I'm not into phones that much, and I still use a flipper, (at $16 bucks a month) I don't walk around like a dummy with earphones in my ears.

If I listen to anything, It's EIB. That's easy to find.

Standard right-wing non-sense answer. And as usual, All talk. And nothing to back it up. Everything is either left or right. No in the middle. And fake.

well,if TRUMP is doing such a great job of running the country,why is HE trying to take credit for things that he isn't responsible for??

the republicans got our country into the places where it was in a recession,and,as usual,it took the democrats to get our country started back on to the right path,and start improving it so that the republicans could run it back into the ground with the terrible things they have done after people forget the havoc that happened that they were originally responsible for!

and,they are so cowardly about it that they do things with time released self destructs built in to them,so that they know that they will not be in office,and have to personally answer for the things that they have done/allowed to happen..
like the 'tax cuts' they passed,that will gradually cut the middle classes throats in several years.

do you actually think that trump/the republicans are going to be willing to answer for them,and take responsibility for them?
or do you think that they will try to pass he buck along and blame the democrats or them,when the things they created start going south?

lol, I always get a laugh after reading these posts. Thanks! Where do some people get their info, sometimes you got to dust off that crystal ball or maybe adjust your Ouija board ... Those tax cuts will become permanent along with another tax cut 2.0 . Nothing going south except a few liberal elitists , possibly prison time. Time will tell

FACT CHECK: Who Gets Credit For The Booming U.S. Economy?

The U.S. economy is chugging along. Employers added 201,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate held steady at a low 3.9 percent. Average wages in August were nearly 3 percent higher than they were a year ago.

Who should get the credit for that strong performance?

http://www.npr.org/2018/09/12/646708799/fact-check-who-gets-credit-for-the-booming-u-s-economy


things flow and interconnect in such a way that it is a shame that 'credit' is not able to go around instead of having to be only about one person ...

it reminds me of something my mom told me once about how people pick and choose what to praise and what to shoot down

she said if people dont want to give credit, it doesnt matter what you do, you could walk on water and they would say, 'yeah, but your feet got wet'

alot of the Obama bashing and criticizing reminds me of that actually, things went from worse to better, but it didnt get to better 'fast' enough for some of them to ever be willing to credit the man and many still insist on actually putting him down over it ...


it all gets so subjective and inconsistent, sometimes its just embarassing, and other times its just sad.

Trump is pro-business. Him winning the election, boost the economy before he even had time to do anything. Tax cuts put more money into the pockets of everyone with a job or business. If Trump were to lose in 2020 we would see a downturn in the economy. Socialism sucks the life out of business and people striving to make a better life for themselves.

Let's also remember that Obama was President when the economy tanked!


Oh Lord. Bush was the president when the economy tanked. Obama was the president who rebuilt it. Why lie when the facts are so apparent. Even Wikipedia has it right! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_losses_caused_by_the_Great_Recession
Note: Job losses began in Dec. 2007. And ended in February 2009. In 2008, the US lost 2.6 million jobs. Obama became president on January 20th of 2009.

Facts are real things!

More! Trump is NOT pro-business, he is PRO-himself! And the economy WILL tank when the rethuglicans suck all the money out of it - just like it did the last time a spoiled stupid son of an entitled oligarch sat in the oval. You can count on it!

People are saving more. Houses aren't being built to keep up with demand. People are advertising help wanted everywhere. The economy is fine. Trump helped us all. He donates his salary so stop complaining that he benefits too.
