Obama reminds nation to thank Obama for current economic growth
2017-12-10
[Michelle Malkin] The most unsurprising brag stretch of the week:

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."

Hey, if the economy was doing lousy Obama would have certainly stepped up and taken responsibility, right? RIGHT!?

#12  Jimmy Carter screwed up US Foreign policy so bad the Soviets overextended in time for Reagan to decapitate them.

Obama has done much the same thing with the economy.

#10  This seems to be a common personality trait among those self obsessed. Ginsburg would be another but many come to mind as I type these lines. Now in history past similar behavior can be seen. Closed off from reality. They are like old reruns playing over and over. O wants to recapture his glory days and I maintain he will go for the cocaine to feel the power again even if it is in his own mind. Perhaps Gore is fueled by his global warming efforts. In that he can believe he is the true leader.

#3  When his right, he's right. If he didn't disgust people so much they'd elected a conventional Republican instead of Trump, and then where would the economic recovery be?

#2  Man leaning against a lamppost. Stranger asks - "what are you doing?". The leaner says "keeping the elephants away". Stranger says - "Other than zoos, there are no elephants for thousands of miles". Leaner says - "see what a good job I'm doing". It's an old vaudeville routine. Still is and only getting older.

#1  Poor, helpless bugger. He doesn't even know when to leave well enough alone. If he could simply remain silent, he might recover at least some respect due to his status as a former president, but Nooooo.
