Associated Press called him out on this, writing, "In 2013 the Obama administration obtained the records of 20 Associated Press office phone lines and reporters’ home and cell phones, seizing them without notice, as part of an investigation into the disclosure of information about a foiled al-Qaida terrorist plot. "AP was not the target of the investigation. But it called the seizure a 'massive and unprecedented intrusion' into its news-gathering activities, betraying information about its operations 'that the government has no conceivable right to know.' "Obama’s Justice Department also secretly dogged Fox News journalist James Rosen, getting his phone records, tracking his arrivals and departures at the State Department through his security-badge use, obtaining a search warrant to see his personal emails and naming him as a possible criminal conspirator in the investigation of a news leak." I am glad that AP now rises to challenge his misleading statements, pointing out that Obama is wrong about his recovery, "As measured by the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy’s output, the U.S. economy expanded at an average annual rate of 2.2 percent from 2010, after the Great Recession ended, through 2016, Obama’s last year in office. That is the weakest growth of any post-recession recovery since World War II." And AP took on his bragging about Obamacare, "Obama is cherry-picking survey results, overlooking a recent estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that found the number of uninsured Americans basically unchanged under Trump. He’s also blaming Republicans for all the problems with health insurance, ignoring the fact that premiums started going up sharply under his watch."
