As it turns out, the March jobs numbers were 78,000, down from the original 98,000.

Did Obama ever have that bad of a report, other than in the very early days of his presidency?

Granted, it was March, so I'm not going to put that much stock into that.

If you'd taken a quick look at the chart posted by Velo you'd see the answer is yes - on multiple occasions

Report good, Trump fans proclaim his brilliance. Including himself. Numbers bad and it's because they're fake.

You and VP are spreading fake news - Velo started this, some of asked what his point was and you two turn it into some imagined gleeful posting of jobs #s. I don't see anyone saying the April #s are a sign of his brilliance.

Further, you were the goob who posted only the good Obama numbers giving him credit then continually made excuses (weather, tsunami, etc) for when they were subpar.

I posted about the trend, well into his presidency. A trend coming from massive losses leading up to his administration.

Even after we ignore the whole first year to last year comparison..

Its like saying "Our naturally untalented child hit 3 home runs after 8 years and your normally talented child hit 2 his first year! We are better!!!!!"

Well, the first thing to come up is this report from yesterday along with a Business Insider article which shows the rate being pretty stable. Not that you'd already see such dramatic nationwide statistical changes just few months into a new presidency anyway. Even during the Reagan administration it took a few years to pull out of the recession.

The actual jobs number is ok, but the sectors that are adding are things like manufacturing.

So, you're saying that the economy that Obama inherited was similar to the one inherited by Trump?

I think that's what he's saying. Whether he understands why its a ridiculous comparison is another story.

The only similar comparisons that can be made is Obama walked into the housing bubble, and Trump might walk into the interest bubble. The Interest bubble could make a depression.

To be more accurate, Obama took office after the housing bubble had already collapsed, threatening to take the rest of the economy down with it.

Trump came in as the slow improvement under Obama had begun, and continued.

Obama inherited a disaster, an economy in D-/F+ shape. Trump has inherited an economy in B- shape.

The B- is a very generous grade. Obama walked into a F, and Trump walked into a D.

Perhaps Ob didn't realize he was making the argument that in fact Obama left it much better than he found it.

If you'll look, Ob specifically referenced the first 6 months as a baseline comparison - paying no attention to the actual inheritance of one of the largest recessions in history versus the potential of a future recession.
