Obama just happened to be president at the right time. Recovery after a recession is as natural as breathing. Everything Obama did only hampered it and slowed it down.
economy and employment on the upswing unemployment going down Trump had it easy
And I suppose you have no idea why Obama doubled the debt.
You think coming out of the greatest recession ever would be cheap?
Try as they did, government cannot buy it's way out of a recession....dumbass.
DUMBASS It is Congress that passes tax and spending legislation. There is little the president can do to impact the debt, positively or negatively, without a bill passed by Congress. Conversly there is little Congress can do without the president's signature or a veto-proof supermajority. Further, during most of Obama's term to date, control of Congress was split between a Democratic Senate and a Republican House. Both branches share blame, both for legislation that increased the debt and for failing to enact legislation that would curb the debt growth that was already projected to occur from the growth of entitlement programs and insufficient revenues.

By a few metrics, debt has doubled during the Obama presidency. The blame though is not only on him because some of the debt increase over the past eight years was already expected to occur, and Congress had to approve bills that increased the debt. Interestingly, debt held by the public
would double again by 2024 under Trump's proposed plans – so while he is right about what's happened under President Obama's watch, his plan will make the problem worse.
