  1. Redman Law 99 You really have too much time in your hands. Btw, the economy would have grown even faster under Obama but, as I’m sure you forgot, Republicans wouldn’t let him spend money to fund the recovery because of THE DEFICIT!!! Remember when Republicans held the nation’s credit rating hostage over THE DEFICIT!!! Now when Trump is in office, they have no problems spending trillions of dollars, so that he can have good numbers. In short, Republicans wanted to hurt the country to show how bad Obama’s recovery was. If You remember, they were the party of NO, then blamed Obama for the results of that refusal. Remember sequestration and how all those forced cuts hurt the economy. Thanks to Republicans trying their best to hurt Obama by hurting the economy (to lower the deficit of course). When Trump got in office they wanted to do everything possible to help the economy so they could brag about Trump’s numbers. And Republicans know that Democrats are not in the business of holding people hostage over THE DEFICIT!!!, so they get away with it. So hypocritical. Pure politics, like he said.

  2. Redman Law 99 I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. You’re giving credit to Republicans for any economic strength in Obama’s second term, but you’re also saying the economy was bad when Obama was in power. 🤷🏾‍♂️ You say that Obama had “2 whole years” to fix the economy before Republicans purposely tried to screw him over .... so we should ONLY blame Obama for any slow growth (which you also say was good growth caused by Republicans)?? 🤦🏽‍♂️ And then you are praising Republicans for doing the exact opposite of what they are doing now when Obama was in power. Before, they wanted to cut spending to shrink the deficit...now they are increasing spending record levels to boost the economy (just like Obama) and you still praise Republicans. Hypocritical?? So on all 3 of those points you’re not making ANY sense. You’re arguing both sides of the coin to make Republicans look good. It sounds to me like you don’t really believe in anything except for “Republicans good, Democrats bad.” Feel free to prove me wrong.

  3. Moderate American Um no. Obama didn’t come into office until January 2009. The recession started in 2007-2008 after Bush’s deregulation of the banking industry. Please do not accuse me of being fed propaganda when you don’t even have your own facts straight. And don’t blame Obama for something he had nothing to do with. It’s VERY simple. Obama inherited a bad economy and turned it around. Trump inherited a good economy and managed not to screw it up. Look in ANY history book, any encyclopedia, any documentary you like, it won’t change those basic facts. No matter how much you dislike Obama or love Trump. Also make sure you check with a valid news source before assuming I have been fed propaganda.

  4. Moderate American Oh really? Well please explain it to me better so I can understand. Because to me it looks like he just wrote a whole book of hypocritical statements.

  5. Redman Law 99 What is it with you writing entire books in the YouTube comments section. What makes you think people will actually read that? If you’re trying to convince someone, your argument should not take an hour to read. Please shorten it to a paragraph or two.

  6. Redman Law 99 Trump’s average GDP of 2% is exactly the same as Obama’s average GDP of 2%. The stock market broke MANY records during Obama’s administration, just like during Trump’s. The only difference between Obama’s economy and Trump’s economy is unemployment. Obama took it from 11% to 5%. Trump continued that decrease, taking it from 5% to 3.5%. So please explain to me exactly what is better about Trump’s economic performance that he didn’t inherit. Increasing wages doesn’t count because that depends on low unemployment, which Trump inherited.
