THANKS OBAMA!
Most economic indicators, including rate of GDP, were decelerating in Obama's final year. Paul Krugman, the top liberal economist, predicted economic apocalypse under President Donald. So which is it?

"America had had an unreal period of economic growth and that it was somewhat artificial and America was now stabilizing. There had been things that were really not justified and what we were dealing with now was Obama telling us to manage the decline. Obama told us the days of massive GDP were over. In fact, during eight years of Obama we never had a gross domestic product in any quarter anywhere near 3%.
We had massive tax increases. We had Obamacare. We had the federal government literally steal one-sixth of the U.S. economy by taking health care under its wing. That took one-sixth of the economy out of the economy and put it in control of the government, which doesn’t know how to make money, which is not supposed to. It just redistributes it. So Obama didn’t even sell a great economy when he was in office!
That wasn’t his mission. His mission was to try to condition people that the best days were behind us, that there was a new normal, that America had to pay a price for its economic superpower status of the past, that it was unjustified, that we had become an economic superpower by stealing resources from other nations. We were told that we didn’t deserve our superpower military status because we were imposing our way of life on other nations.
Obama did his best to condition people not to expect massive economic growth ever again because what they will lived through was not really justified, because it had been built on the backs of slaves. It had been built on the backs of the poor. It had been built on the backs of foreign countries. And now things were stabilizing. Obama literally did not sell a massive, growing economy. He tried to promote jobs by having the government do seminars in the White House.
Okay. So now, Obama leaves and during the presidential campaign of 2016, we have a candidate, Donald Drumpf, who is devoted to getting the American economy back on track. He calls it “Make America Great Again.” MAGA. There are hats that people wear. They make fun of the hats because Drumpf wears them, but he made a point of bringing back manufacturing jobs. Obama said, “Those jobs are never coming back.” Obama went to the Carrier company in Indiana, Dave, and he told workers there that the jobs that had been lost were never coming back.
Well, 80,000 of them are back. Eighty thousand manufacturing jobs in 10 months of Drumpf. In the first 10 months of this year, a record number of manufacturing jobs have been created and brought back to the United States. Many companies have said they’re not gonna move manufacturing process overseas which was happening at a regular clip with Obama. I mean, I could go on. We have employment here at an all-time low. Hispanic unemployment is at an all-time low.
Check it out during Obama. Obama had eight years to do whatever magic he said he could with the economy. It continued to lay flat. It continued to stagnate. And Obama said, this is it. And in fact there were even people saying, “You know, the idea that your kids are gonna have it better than you did? That has to end sometime.” Obama was all about lowering people’s expectations, because he knew that what his plans were would result in that.
\When you grow the government and you grow the government by taking money away from people, when you grow the government, you can’t have a growing economy. The government grows but not the economy. And when the government redistributes then the government’s choosing winners and losers, not the market. And that was Obama. Because he didn’t trust the market.
Obama and people like him don’t trust you or me to do the right things with our money, with our businesses. They need to regulate it, they need to control it, because you won’t hire the right people. You won’t bake a cake for the right wedding, you won’t do anything unless they make you do it, because you are contemptible.
All of that’s gone, out the window, and in 10 months the economic statistics — look at the stock market! Look at the employment situation for minorities, nonminorities. Look at the GDP. We’ve already had two quarters of 3% economic growth. Obama never had one! But, you know, this idea that it’s Obama’s economy, there’s a reason Drumpf called Don Lemon stupid.
On his show on CNN Tuesday night and Wednesday night, Don Lemon said that Drumpf should be thanking Obama for handing him a really good economy. He said on Tuesday he doesn’t think people are stupid and realize that Drumpf is riding the momentum of an economy Obama created. On Wednesday night Don Lemon used the thank-you line and said he wonders if Drumpf would be crying if he was given the economy that Obama inherited when he took the presidency.
So Obama inherited a mess, just like Clinton did, standard Democrat project, they inherit a bad economy, their predators lied to them about how bad it is. That sets the stage for a bad, weak economy ’cause Democrats preside over those kinds of economies. Here comes Don Lemon. So this is a coordinated push that your friends are falling for, probably purposefully. You’re probably not gonna be able to talk ’em out of this no matter how much logic I have shared with you that you repeat.
But there’s no way, there is no measure in which the Obama economy outperforms Drumpf’s. There is no measure that says Drumpf’s economy is simply an outgrowth of Obama’s. Drumpf has had to institute a whole bunch changes, change the focus, change the overall outlook of America’s role in the world in order to make these economic circumstances happen.
There’s a difference between conservatism and liberalism. There’s a huge difference between freedom and socialism. There’s a big difference in freedom and government control and regulation. Eight years of Obama versus 10 months of Donald Drumpf. The contrast is simple. You can’t miss it unless you want to. Unless you’re so poisoned and blinded by partisanship.
Remember, Obama never had 3% growth. Obama took so much money out of the economy as government took over this or that like health care, lied to you in the process about it. Obama tried to condition everybody that America’s best days are behind us, the new normal now because America had been unfair in the past, America had become an economic superpower by stealing and by appropriating resources and things that were not ours. We had militarily oppressed people and tried to impose our way of life on them, which is freedom. And Obama was here to correct America and make it right in the eyes of the world. Which is to downsize it and to strip it of superpower status. And that’s exactly what Obama did.
There’s a couple other things about this. What has the left been doing this past year? Among many other things. They have been whining and moaning about Drumpf undoing everything Obama did, right? (crying) “You can’t do that!” They’re just literally complaining about everything Drumpf is undoing, everything Obama did. And then they come along and claim that after ripping to shreds everything Obama did, this economic boom is because of what Obama did?
How can that work? How can you rip to shreds everything Obama did and then Obama claim the economy is his? But that’s what the left is saying. “Yes, this economy is because of the brilliance and leadership of Barack Obama.” Wait, you said Drumpf ripped everything apart? “He did, yes, but Obama was so good and so powerful and so brilliant and so strong that he was able to survive everything Drumpf has done to tear it apart.”
Obutthole said it would never be like this again. Had liberal idiots won, it wouldn't.

Fact Finder wrote:Internal Notes Show Divergence Between Obama, FBI On Whether Russia Helped Drumpf
Sat, 09/22/2018 - 12:30
Newly released FBI communications from January, 2017 confirm that the Obama administration ignored the FBI's stance on whether Russia tried to help Donald Drumpf win the 2016 election, and that former FBI agent Peter Strzok was worried that the White House would misconstrue their conclusion, reports The Hill's John Solomon.
On Dec. 10, 2016, the FBI received an inquiry from a reporter about whether the FBI was uncertain about the emerging conclusion that Russia was trying to help Drumpf win. The reporter intended to report that FBI counterintelligence was “much less emphatic than the CIA about Russia intent.”
Strzok weighed in to help the FBI press office address the reporter’s question, an email that has now captured congressional investigators' fancy because it states clearly the FBI couldn’t distinguish that any one of three possible motives drove Russia’s meddling.
“The specific point I made was we did not have information to differentiate what their ultimate goal was,” Strzok emailed, adding that then-Director James Comey told Senate Intelligence something similar.
“In other words, the activity is one-sided and clear but we can’t say the sole and primary purpose was specifically intended to help someone, hurt someone else or undermine the process. The reality is all three,” he wrote. -The Hill
It's also clear that the FBI's upper echelon was concerned over sharing information with the White House and then-Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, over fears that it might result in political abuse.
“He, like us, is concerned with over sharing. Doesn’t want Clapper giving CR cuts to WH. All political, just shows our hand and potentially makes enemies,” Strzok wrote to FBI lawyer Lisa Page on Jan. 3, 2017, relating a conversation he apparently had with then-Assistant Director William Priestap, the top counterintelligence official in the bureau.
Investigators aren’t certain yet what “CR cuts” refers to. Some, though, think it could be a reference to “classified raw” intelligence, such as the unverified Steele dossier or possible intercepts. Others wonder whether it could refer to budget cuts in a "continuing resolution" though no such budget was pending at the time. Whatever the case, the political distrust of colleagues is clear. “WH,” of course, refers to the White House.
“Yeah, but keep in mind we were going to put that in the doc on Friday, with potentially larger distribution than just the dni,” Page texted back. Strzok answered back, escalating his concerns: “The question is should we, particularly to the entirety of the lame duck usic with partisan axes to grind.” "USIC" is an acronym for the United States Intelligence Community. -The Hill
The FBI's assessment is in stark contrast to the official intelligence assessment from the Obama administration released on January 6, 2017 which declared: "We also assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Drumpf’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him."
What's more, the National Security Agency (NSA) only had "moderate confidence" that Putin was trying to help Drumpf win, and the House Intelligence Committee concluded that they couldn't validate Putin's intentions either.
In January, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) revealed a "jaw-dropping" email written in May 19 of 2017 from Strzok to his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page - which reads: "You and I both know the odds are nothing. If I thought it was likely, I’d be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern that there’s no big there there."
When asked by the DOJ Inspector General what he meant by that, Strzok said that he couldn't be certain that there was a "broad, coordinated effort" to hijack the election.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general asked Strzok shortly before he was fired from the FBI what he meant by that text, and he offered a most insightful answer.
Strzok said he wasn’t certain there was a “broad, coordinated effort” to hijack the election and that the evidence of Drumpf campaign aides talking about getting Hillary Clinton dirt from Russians might have been just a “bunch of opportunists” talking to heighten their importance.

He already knows exactly what has happened, now it is Art of the Deal or Art of War time. We’ll see who chooses which.
