Nothing sometimes is a good thing Now we hope Trump doesn't FU our economy
You hope Trump doesn't FU our economy that Obama has already F'D up...what kind of gibberish is that.
Our economy was rolling along just fine Think all those DOW and NAS companies that almost tripled under Obama were lying?? Think the 75 straight months of triple digit job gains was a lie too?
Sure, just because you're still getting welfare checks doesn't mean the economy is doing well. Any idea how many small businesses ended up closing their doors under Obama?
Considering how the economy improved and how unemployment went to under 5%, I would ask how many opened their doors, not closed them.
Wonder no more:

During his State of the Union address last night, President Obama boasted that "We're in the middle of the longest streak of private-sector job creation in history. More than 14 million new jobs, the strongest two years of job growth since the 1990s, an unemployment rate cut in half." Many of these positions have been created by startups and other small businesses.
Entrepreneurship has grown during the Obama Administration, often out of necessity (as was the case during the recession) and because of the growth in technology, which has spurred growth not only in the banking, IT, and biomedical sectors, but also for firms that work with government agencies that handle security and economic development.
"In some parts of our country, we have unemployment rates as low as 2%. New York Cityās unemployment rate, as of November 2015, was hovering at 4.8%. Outside of the oil and gas companies and firms that service them, every head of human resources and recruiting I speak with is hiring for 2016," says Steven Lindner, executive partner of
The WorkPlace Group, a Florham Park, NJ-based firm specializing in talent assessment and acquisition. "We are actually in a talent crunch right now."
Rating The Obama Years For Small Business Growth
What owners say
When Obama took office, the economy was in a free fall, shedding 8 million jobs between 2007 and 2009, as well as trillions of dollars of stock market wealth. Numerous cornerstone business sectors, such as housing and the automotive industry, were dealt near-death blows. Just as critically, banks were on the verge of collapse, and were bailed out with billions of dollars in taxpayer money.
Perhaps more than any other single policy of the last seven years, it was the nearly $1 trillion from the two American Reinvestment and Recovery Acts that played a major role in assisting those industries, and bolstering the economic health of small business owners.
"The stimulus act was huge, and it had a really strong benefit," says Lance Loken, the chief executive officer and founder of residential real estate company Loken Group, based in Houston, Texas. Loken is an Inc. 5000 company.
How Small Business Owners View the President's Economic Legacy

Even people who don't like Obama gave him props.
Nitwits think 2% GDP growth is terrible but don't have an actual clue what to do to improve it. Beyond the ridiculous notion of ending regulations and cutting taxes for billionaires. Two failed policies they tried under Bush. Such short memories. Only tards can be tricked the same way twice.
