You are unemployed and want a new job, under a Democratic president you have a better chance of getting one!

It was weak but when compared t0 the recession, it was good.

You claimed you were a stock ananlyst for 47 years? Hilarious!

But true and have the public results to show it. What do you have to show? A "let out of an insane asylum" receipt?

47 years and you never noticed the deeper the decline the stronger the recovery?
Except for Obama's weak ass recovery. DURR

Obama "inherited" the recession caused by Bush Jr. and turned it around. Obama stated his presidency in January 2009 and let me prove you easily wrong

You do know that during recessions, the stock market goes down, don't you?

Here is the chart of the DOW from 2008-2017. Obama began his presidency on January 2009 and the DOW was at 6665 and when he left the DOW was at 18100, The stock market almost tripled under his watch. Your recession is a nightmare in your mind only

One question for you. Are you so dumb as to state something that can be proven wrong so easily?

The only thing you have proven is that you are either a bald faced liar, or a total jerk who tries to contradict government statistics.

I taught microeconomics in college for 3 years, but an 8th grade kid could refute you with ease.

Obama had 7 recessions and the proof is in the very often declining GDPs. What Trump got from Obama was an economically failed administration, riddled with 7 recessions (I will itemize them if you like), 5 below zero GDP quarters, and a row of GDPs in his last 2 years that were like a sinking ship. > (the left side of the infamous V-GRAPH always omitted on CNN, MSNBC, et al leftwing media.)

I doubt that you can even ascetain where there are recessions, by looking at the GDP graphs. Here's 2 of those recessions right here in the V-GRAPH >>

How? You certainly made a statement about Reagan and did not provide proof as to how, why should I?

Having said that, you do know that the stock market goes down during recessions, don't you?

Here is the chart of the DOW from 2008-2017. Obama took over on January 2009. See what he did. He almost tripled the value of the DOW.

When Reagan took office, the DOW was at 947 and 4 years later, it was at 1201, meaning that he only generated a 25% increase in price.

You certainly made a statement about Reagan and did not provide proof

You want proof that Reagan inherited inflation from Carter? Or that inflation was ended?

Obama took over on January 2009

The Dow opened at 8279 on the day he took over.

When Reagan took office, the DOW was at 947 and 4 years later, it was at 1201,

Reagan was in office for 8 years, not 4.

Weakest recovery in history? Facts do not support your words

Dow increased by over 250% during Obama. It increased 30% under Reagan and

Ummmm....the Dow opened at 8279 on the day he took over.
A 250% increase would mean it ended at nearly 29000.

You'd better double check your math.

It increased 30% under Reagan and

Not sure what you're claiming here....try again?

The impact of the stimulus wasn’t just about the dollars spent right away.

LOL!

You don't have to convince me that the recession ended before anything he did could help.

That confidence likely played a big part in the recession ending in June 2009,

Meh.

Once TARP and the Fed's QE stopped the liquidity panic, the recovery was happening,
regardless of any wasteful Obama slush fund spending.

Todd, your response is a perfect example of selective memory. It’s disingenuous to claim that the recession was over before anything Obama did could help. Sure, TARP and the Fed's QE helped stop the immediate liquidity crisis, but they were just the beginning of the recovery process. The ARRA wasn’t just about spending money, it was about stabilizing the economy over the long term, creating jobs, and preventing the kind of prolonged stagnation we saw in other countries that didn’t act as aggressively. To dismiss it as a "slush fund" is not only misleading, it’s flat-out wrong.

And let’s be real here, calling out the ARRA as wasteful while giving TARP a free pass is pure hypocrisy. Both were government interventions designed to save the economy (socialism saves capitalism every few years), but it seems like you’re only willing to label something a "slush fund" when it doesn’t align with your political biases. Obama’s actions didn’t just follow Bush’s; they expanded and reinforced the recovery, ensuring that the economy didn’t fall back into the abyss. To ignore that is to ignore the facts.

If you want to have an honest debate, let’s do that. But dismissing everything Obama did as irrelevant while conveniently ignoring the broader context is just biased claptrap. The recovery didn’t just happen by magic, it required sustained effort, much of which came from the policies you’re so quick to belittle.

His enemies seem to fall from 7 stories or higher, maybe he'll do the same?

What seems to be true, isn't necessarily reality.
