Name one thing Obama did to get the economy back on track after the collapse initiated by Clinton in the late 90's.

And no, not doing anything is not a valid answer (even though its correct). Wanna hear from you uneducated slurpers what you think Obama did, need a good laugh.

The joke's on you cat nip. We are laughing at you, not with you. Can you figure out why? You do this to yourself every single time, so thank you for that.

If you also recall, the market dropped 15% the day he was elected.

I don't recall that, and neither do you. There is plenty to criticize Obama for without making **** up. There is only one day in history that the market dropped 15% or more, and it wasn't on election day in 2008.

Good job answering the question. HAHA. I feel bad about picking on the intellectually handicapped sometimes. Not now, but sometimes.

Dow Sinks Day After Election; Obama to Inherit Bad Economy

Stark differences between post election for Obama and Trump. Good reason why the market was still in freefall after Obama was elected, and the market went on a climb after Trump was elected.

So the 2008/2009 recession wasn't a crisis? Obama inherited a pile of crap, Trump inherited a well-oiled machine and ran it into the gutter.
Your entire post is nonsense.

Ran it into the gutter by having it 20% higher than where he started during a crisis?

It wasnt a government created crisis. Well I am sure there are some who will successfully argue that point. At least not of the same vein.

Your whole argument is that Trumps current DOW isnt the literal record high it was 3 months ago. While ignoring that it's still better than where he started.

Let me put it this way. If Obama was still president today, and we saw the same 20% increase over this term of his presidency, would you be blasting him for not increasing the same 149%? Or would you compliment Obama on continuing the improvement?

Why can’t both get equal credit? I mean, if Trump is the reason for the market to reach 117 new records during his term then shouldn’t Obama get credit for 118 new records?

Never said otherwise. I just said it seems like a bad argument to say that Obama is better despite showing numbers that has Trump improving on Obama.

Or you could say that indeed the first four years of Obama saw a slowly improving stock market while the last 4 showed a massive gain and Trump inherited that and improved upon it.

See? Both sides are rigjt

IIRC the dow was about 8k when Obama took office

And in his 1st 4 years the highest it grew was to about 14,000 so 6k increase, Trump had a 9k increase in his 1st 4 years and even with a worldwide shutdown and pandemic he's about 4k points above what he inherited.

The last 4 years of Obama showed a steep gain in spite of Obama, if he wouldn't had shoved ACA down our throats then kept issuing delays, exemptions and causing uncertainty it would have boomed sooner. Obama delayed the recovery.

if it wasn't for the Nashville area, middle TN would be like Iowa or Nebraska. East TN does have the mountains but I'd rather live in a cosmopolitan area and visit the mountains than vice versa.

You are correct. Not many employment opportunities in rural Middle TN. now. Several years ago, most rural counties had at least one large factory that paid decent wages and offered benefits. Most of them closed shop and moved production to Mexico or China in the late 1990's

Nope. Trumps stock market blew up when he got elected because they knew he wasn't going to impose any progressive bullsh!t to stymie wealth generation and is pro business. Obama's stock market slowly rose because they realized he wasn't going to be able to do any progressive bullsh!t. Towards the end of his 2nd term it pretty much had started to plateau. Trump breathed new life into it. Hell, Obama's presidency was marked with the rise of the anti Wall Street protests/gang rapes that lasted for years.

I still remember getting a chuckle from watching left wing loons predict a Trump election destroying the economy and wall street. Those predictions really emphasized the outright fear monger campaign that the democrats have to rely on to survive, and of course their mentally deficient voter base.

The “I won’t wear a mask” thing is peak Trumpism:

“We want the economy back!!“

I went to Costco without wearing a mask last week. I saw a few other people and a black couple with a kid who, lets be honest, should have been in full chem gear. I bought a TV and some groceries. No one said anything to me. Not going to say my general intimidating presence as seen by betas as being a reason but, it probably was.

Yes, please wear something that stops covid, as long as covid particles are the size of ping pong balls.

The essence of modern liberalism. Who cares if it actually does anything, it feels like it does.

I am well aware of the movement in the stock market in 2008/2009. This doesn't change the inaccuracy of the post I replied to. Again, there is plenty to be critical of Obama for without having to make **** up.

While I agree if the company is asking that you wear while in their store, then you should. The guy at Cosco was a dumba$$ and was looking for a fight or to play the victim. However, if you are wearing a mask for your protection then why should it matter if someone else is wearing one?
