Since bottoming out in 2010, the number of jobs in America has increased at a fairly steady pace. Despite all the rhetoric and fake news from the right
Most here see your post as juvenile. Maybe you could get some advice from Moderators here on telling the truth.

The only morons are those that think there was recovery. Since when is sky high welfare a sign of a recovery? Go sell your snake oil elsewhere.

Difference between anemic economy and robust one.
What metric are you using to get these numbers. Obviously job openings under Obama were more than 900 a month.
unless you mean people who quite their job, in which case, it being 75,000 is actually worse than 900.

I am probably one of the few on this board who voted for Obama and then Trump.
The few, the proud, the deranged.
But seriously, I literally cannot think of anything that Obama did to help grow the economy since 2010. You can argue that the Fed kept interest rates low, but that was the Fed not Obama. IMHO, the low rate of growth we did have during the Obama years was just because of the natural growth cycles of the economy, it had very little to do with the Obama administration.
Trump on the other hand, has emphasized economic growth with tax cuts and deregulation. I do not even agree with some of the tax cuts and certainly even less with some of the deregulation but I do recognize that it is has gotten businesses reinvesting again. And business invests when they think other businesses are going to invest, its a cycle.
Whether you like Trump or not, you have to give him credit.
