1.) Obama started with the stock market having hit its lowest inaugural performance in history. As most investors know, the recovery was partially attributed to a normal bounce effect. Obama gets no credit for a naturally occurring market phenomena.

Gee, I wonder how he inherited all that?

2.) Think of the % gain Obama enjoyed in this way. It is easier to gain 100% when all you have is a penny. The continuous exponential gains (that Trump gets credit for) are much more difficult to achieve.

Thanks to Dubya and the GOP congress all we were left with was a penny. I'd argue that we did pretty fugging good considering the circumstances and now you want to cancel everything we achieved in pulling us out of the Great Recession by throwing us into another one. I'd say that's very foolish of you, but I wouldn't expect anything more.

In other words, the economy grew in spite of Obama, not because of him.

Unfortunately you miss the glaring point. Obama got shit done despite Mitch and his teabags.

We used to have a good shot at healthcare. We used to be the melting pot. We used to have clean air and water up until last year.

Now you're cheering for an administration that will not offer help to disadvantaged immigrants and frankly, homeless people in your town?

Mr Gorbachev, Please build this wall, because these idiots belong behind it!
