You know nothing. Obama's economy after Bush's disaster. --
- Economic growth accelerated over time. The U.S. economy was shrinking when President Obama took office in the first quarter of 2009.3 By the end of his presidency, the economy was growing at about 2 percent in inflation-adjusted terms. In fact, President Obama’s second-term economic growth per person was higher than the growth of several previous presidents, specifically President George W. Bush in both his terms, President George H.W. Bush in his term, Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford in their combined term, President Nixon in his first term, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his second term.
- Job growth logged its longest winning streak. The economy lost close to 800,000 jobs in January 2009, when President Obama took office. The job market started to expand by early 2010. And it consistently added jobs from October 2010 to January 2017, when President Obama left office; it continued to do so during the first months of President Trump’s term. There has not been a consistent job market expansion on record, dating back to 1939, that lasted longer than the current expansion of 79 months.4
- Employment opportunities expanded. The share of people working expanded as the economy added new jobs. That is, job growth was faster than population growth—a key measure of a healthy job market expansion. When President Obama took office in January 2009, 77 percent of people between ages 25 and 54 had a job. This share dropped to 74.8 percent in the aftermath of the Great Recession by December 2009, before climbing to 78.2 percent in January 2017, when President Obama left office.5
- Wages and incomes have been on the upswing. The typical weekly pay of U.S. workers has been increasing since early 2013 and reached its highest level on record, dating back to 1979, at the end of 2016.6 Household incomes, while still relatively low, have also experienced an upward trend since 2014.7
The economy and the labor market experienced long periods of stable growth during Barack Obama’s presidency, laying the foundation to address remaining issues in the Trump administration.

Yea, like I said, when the economy is coming out of a recession, it can look REAL good on paper.
Democrats lost more than one thousand seats in state legislatures, governors’ mansions, and Congress during his time in office. In the midterm elections, republicans easily won the house, picking up 63 seats. If Obama was doing SO WELL, why did democrats lose so badly?
Obama gave billions to terrorists. Americans don't like that.
So what did the well articulated negro DO to cause the economy to come back? Get voted into office? Be very specific, answer the question and back it up with facts, or retract knowing the negro did nothing but ride the boat into the harbor.
Obama did 8 years in office and had ONE thing he's recognized for, the failure known as OBAMACARE. A failed rollout, failure to reduce prices, and something that did nothing but add to the debt.
The legacy of Obama’s presidency mainly rests on its tremendous symbolic importance and the fate of a patchwork of executive actions.

And again, if Obama was so great, why did Hillary get her ass kicked in 2016?
Because of the Iran war, I expect at least a blue wave of small proportions in November. And if things don't improve, Vance will have a hard sell in 2028.
