Obama bought the unemployment rate down from 10% to 4.7%, figures even the sacred St Ronnie can"t match, let's hope the Donald doesn't screw up the up tick economy Obama is giving him like the last Republican Administration did with the positive economy they inherited
Archives, with such a strong economy why was the Fed afraid to raise rates for eight years?
Didn't say "strong" now did I, up tick, heading in the right directions

We've already been through this that there was a recession when Clinton left office. So hopefully this uptick doesn't get screwed up? Ok.
We went through this earlier today in another thread........

Obama, not Clinton, and it wasn't just a recession, but a historical recession that could have easily descended into a depression, we've come a long way in eight years
So the dot com bust didn't happen and we didn't enter a recession in March 2001?
Nothing in comparison to that of 2008, more cyclical than structural
The right-wing propaganda machine will never give Obama or any other Democrat President credit for anything, even though it has been shown that the economy always does better under Democrat administrations.
Always does better? Interesting
Shocker: Even Trump Admitted 'Economy Does Better Under Democrats'
"We've had some pretty bad disasters under Republicans," Trump told Wolf Blitzer."
Donald Trump has been a Republican for decades. But during an unsually candid interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer in 2004, he admitted that his party fell short in an area that has been central to his campaign—the economy.
"I've been around long now and I think of myself as a young guy, but I'm not so young anymore, and I've been around for a long time and it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way but if you go back, I mean, it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats," Trump told Blitzer.

Not with me, but I always find it interesting how since 1/08 conservatives have come up with new indicators to measure unemployment. By the way, the participation measure implied does not take into consideration the baby boomers retiring
Yes, a democrat said it. That's shocking.That's what Trump says....
