Respond to of 1578142 Obama tries to claim credit for Trump economic boom, finally gets smacked down By Monica Showalter One of the more obvious things about the Trump economy is how much better it is than the Obama economy. Yet incredibly, President Obama, as if jealously looking on at this night-and-day difference, is trying to claim credit for it. From the Washington Times : Former President Barack Obama is taking credit for the robust economic growth that is taking place under President Trump . At a conference of mayors in Chicago, Mr. Obama congratulated himself Tuesday for strong employment numbers in the U.S. this year, saying his climate-change policies have contributed to growth. “As we took these actions, we saw the U.S. economy grow consistently,” Mr. Obama said. “We saw the longest streak of job creation in American history by far, a streak that still continues by the way.” He added wryly, “Thanks, Obama .” Investor's Business Daily did two fine editorials on what was really going on; how and why the economy was growing here and here , and American Thinker noted one of these editorials here . Cutting taxes, throwing out regulations, and ending the harassment of Obama-unfavored industries such as oil and coal, have done wonders. Now White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called Obama out on his bid to claim credit. Since the election "the jobless rate for African Americans dropped from 8% to 7.3%, while for Hispanics it fell from 5.7% to 4.7%...and with Trump's big tax cuts on the way, job growth isn't likely to end soon -more good news for all Americans." -Investor's Business Daily — Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 10, 2017 <much more TRUTH> Original Article
