Barack Obama is the only president in US history to never have a year of economic growth over 3.0% (despite adding almost $10 trillion to the national debt).
How did he manage to fail so badly?

Just MIGHT have something to do with inheriting the largest recession in modern history.

So far Trumps got a 0.7% GDP growth rate as his best LOL

He was going to fix all of that in his first term and did not deserve a second term if he didn't according to Obama himself.

He got unemployment at historic low. We didn't have 3% growth because we are already the biggest baddest economic machine in history. My 6-yr-old nephew has a higher physical growth % than Shaquille O'Neal, using your logic, you'd say Shaquille O'Neal is a small tiny dude.

And even if President Trump adds heavily to the debt, he'll cut taxes dramatically, making him a lot more useful to the American people than Obama was.

95 million American workers not in US labor force
Quote:
The November jobs report looked pretty good on the surface except for one number that popped off the page: 95 million. That's the number of Americans now counted as not in the labor force, a historic high that has confounded economists and policymakers. The total — 95.06 million to be more exact — has been rising consistently but surged by a gaudy 446,000 last month.

For example, the level of those enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — food stamps — has remained elevated even with an economic expansion that is nearly 7 ½ years old. SNAP recipients totaled 33.5 million in 2009, the year the recession ended. In 2016, the number is at 45.3 million. The government shelled out $74 billion in benefits last year, about double the level of 2008.

What has Obama given the nation:

- 10 trillion dollars in new federal deficit and doubling of all debt in entire US history with nothing to show for it
- 20% perennial unemployment
- escalated inner city violence and hopelessness
- bloated federal govt
- 1 zillion new regulations of red tape to strangle businesses and citizens
- rotting infrastructure
- demoralized, gutted, and castrated US military
- wars galore and unstable globe
- vast internal corruption and misuse of government for political favors
- astronomical expensive healthcare and 40 million still uninsured
- another housing and stock market bubble from fed policy of zero % interest while seniors on limited income eat dog food

Obama is by far the worst President in US history.

Obama has left a large turd in the toilet for Trump. Weak growth, weak economy, weak employment, new metrics on how the economy is measured.

As Trump implements his policies and the economy not only improves but thrives despite the best efforts of rhinos and traitorous liberals to stop it, Americans will take notice. This is the real reason why rinos and liberal elite hate Trump. Trump's results will bury the democrat and rino establishment for decades. Because, in the end, actual tangible, quantifiable, and measurable results will always beat liberal bullshlt.

Yeah, OK, that's as valid as you "historic low" unemployment claim.

Other then leaving a recesion behind. This has been argued to death here, its nonsense.

But no worries! Trump intends to increase it more. LOL.

Quote:
- 20% perennial unemployment
Left office with record low unemployment. New guy has already started to have new jobs drop. Last month fell below replacement level.

Quote:
- escalated inner city violence and hopelessness
Overall crime is down from when he took office. Any OTHER nonsnse?

Quote:
- bloated federal govt
Quick! how much bigger then when he took office? More nonsense

Quote:
- 1 zillion new regulations of red tape to strangle businesses and citizens
True of pretty much every president. This at least we do see some effort made by Trump.

Quote:
- rotting infrastructure
uh huh. Tell me again how trump will fix this. its been months, he has nothing.

Quote:
- demoralized, gutted, and castrated US military
Please. Still bigger then the next 3 largest adversaries combined. We could take the world on and have a good shot of winning.
Quote:
- wars galore and unstable globe
Mostly started by his predecessor. Trump is not making things more stable, in fact quite the opposite.

Quote:
- vast internal corruption and misuse of government for political favors
Sweet mother of god. Are you ignoring the VAST corruption of Trump? Really?
Quote:
- astronomical expensive healthcare and 40 million still uninsured
Tens of millions MORE insured, and healthcare costs went up slower then under his predecessor.

Quote:
- another housing and stock market bubble from fed policy of zero % interest while seniors on limited income eat dog food
And Trump tries cutting meals on wheels.
Quote:

Because you get fed this line enough you believe it despite REALITY.

Quote:

So he is leaving Trump with something 10X better then what he got, and you will try and make excuses for Trump. Got it.

Good lord. How much of this nonsense do you actually believe? Its almost ALL wrong!
