Got links showing Obama was/is narcissistic, antisocial personality, paranoid, and sadistic? And no I don't mean Michael Savage, Breitbart, InfoWars, Zerohedge, or any other "patriotic" type of site that stands against anything that's "unamerican".

Don't you know by now that the DJIA ceased to be a reliable indicator of economic well-being of the Average American since at least the 2000-2002 recession? Better to use the GDP yearly growth rate together with the US Dept of Labor's U6 unemployment rate (a much stricter standard than the one you see in the media).

The economy (GDP-growth-wise) did start under Obama. 2017's rate was only around the average for every previous year of this decade so far.

https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS13327709 The U6 Rate declined as far back as 2010, and really started dropping in 2012.

The U-6 rate is the unemployment rate that includes discouraged workers who have quit looking for a job and part-time workers who are seeking full-time employment. The U-6 rate is considered by many economists to be the most revealing measure of a country’s unemployment situation since it covers the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed, underemployed and discouraged.

Guess they fooled you too, right?

Am I to take it that certain conservatives and other right-wingers deserve dissing for listening to Michael (look at my junk) Weiner too - better known as Michael Savage? Even if Anthony is worse for sexting a 15 year old, that's like saying you like Russia better than North Korea. Both are shameful characters and certainly neither should be bragged about fondly.

51% of Americans didn't vote for Trump. He lost the popular vote. I guess they all just hated Trump too.

That is a phony number. And besides, the claim is "97%."

Get back to me when you learn how elections are won.

Yes, they did. As a result of Giuliani's term, Times Square is now a tourist attraction instead of a cesspool of strip clubs.

Yet no matter which answer you choose, Trump had nothing to do with the zoom-back - for it really started getting strong in 2014.
The Obama "recovery" was the weakest recovery since the 1940s.

Then New Yorkers were smart when they elected Rudy and dumb when they elected Dinkins and De Blasio?
