I already did, dingaling.
Where? I see a graph from Mother Jones ( really?) about construction jobs. If you can't, just say so. Don't claim you did something you didn't. What bill/law did Obama pass that created jobs?
Once you complete this simple task (which no, you haven't done) then we can look at the jobs created unless you think a 35k a year job counts the same as a part time job at McDonalds.
I'm Not interested in your opinion. Either cite a source or quit defending a position you can't, dingaling.

Okay...

Trump's tweet:
"45,000 construction & manufacturing jobs in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. $20 billion investment. We are already winning again, America!"
The White House Press Release: Darren W. Woods, chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil announced the company’s investment program during a keynote speech today to an oil and gas industry conference in Houston, Texas. “Investments of this scale require a pro-growth approach and a stable regulatory environment and we appreciate the President’s commitment to both.
The company’s Growing the Gulf program consists of 11 major chemical, refining, lubricant and liquefied natural gas projects at proposed new and existing facilities along the Texas and Louisiana coasts. Investments began in 2013 and are expected to continue through at least 2022.
Hahahahahaha! His own fucking press release admitted it was because of Obama!! We have been adding 20,000 jobs a month for 6 years. I concentrated on construction because in your own yahoo article you posted said that this construction job surge was also because of the recent cold spell that slowed down job growth in construction and this was a natural reaction.
What did Obama do? Answer the question and quit avoiding it. What law or policy did Obama enact that created jobs?

So not only did "Obama" create less jobs than Clinton or Reagan, a significant portion of his "jobs" were part-time and he failed to maintain manufacturing jobs you're trying to claim credit in your unsourced construction graph.
What did Obama do to create jobs? Can you answer that question? If not, then you don't have a leg to stand on when people start to attribute jobs to Trump.

He hasn't done anything in regards to the economy. Obama was constantly adding new jobs but you refused to acknowledge it. The only thing he's proposed is increased military spending and a healthcare plan and he's going to pay for it with tax cuts. Trump is riding Obama's dick right now. This is Obama's economy. And this isn't new, start promising corporations low taxes, cut regulations, etc., the initial boom happens... Until it busts.
What jobs did Obama add? What legislation helped? You guys repeat this claim and then go silent. Mitch or Pa linked some info graphic from Philly.com that showed the average income decreased under Obama. Do the quality of jobs matter? Or is that the New Democratic platform - create a bunch of minimum wage jobs and then demand a $15 minimum wage.
I love the double speak. Republicans were obstructionists for 8 years and Obama single habdedly led all of us from the sewers and trash piles to the 21st century.
Democrats saved part of the auto industry. They deserve their credit for that. Ironic that those same union auto workers all jumped ship for Trump. Why? Because after 2009 the Dems focused on every minority group and did shit for the backbone of the country.
But please, explain what Obama did for jobs. I'm waiting for an answer.

The first sentence in the article points out that Trump inherited this great economy from Obama. Please show me some sort of data that proves people are motivated by Trump to join the workforce again. That's an almost farcical statement actually.
Randall Flagg wrote:The Stock Market has soared because investors believe Trump is good for the economy.
Again, same thing. The article points out that he inherited a robust stock market. We've gotten a bump because WS peeps are hopeful for deregulation and low taxes. Big deal. As usual Obama's stock market was no indicator of economic health, or faith in his administration, while Trump's DOW bump is because WS now has a positive outlook. Yea, you're fair and balanced.

There you go with your weird hang up on transsexuals again. You sure talk about gay and trannies a lot.
Yea, I'm a closeted gay man. What's the excuse for the media.

These are the fair and unbiased posts that truly makes RF credible.
More credible than anyone else here.
Yay America! We elected a great negotiator who proved his skills in a "reality" tv show.
Next election, maybe we should elect Kevin Bacon or maybe even Bateman.
You voted for a community organizer who had 4 years of Senate experience and not a single legislative accomplishment. You wanted an 80 year old Doc Brown who honeymooned in the USSR and claimed he could make everything free and also lacked a single legislative accomplishment as your President.
You set the bar pretty fucking low. Now you have to deal with the fact an incredibly successful businessman (do you have a new definition for success? Where can I stay at a Mitch hotel or get a Mitch tie. You're a businessman, so how do you stack up to Trump?) who said a lot of weird and insane shit is now President.

Do you understand what an economic lag is? Trump has not put anything in place to take credit for 100k jobs yet. Nor has he been in office long enough to take credit for low UE. Of course when Obama was president: Job gains were only minimum wage, saving the auto industry was "socialism", UE was now calculated in a completely different way, the DOW was propped up by the Fed and real estate was again "in a bubble."
Magically this line of thinking all disappeared overnight. Everything Trump inherited from Obama is now his, and it's all great, even though it defies anything you'd learn in a Macro economics 101 course. #MAGA
The article clearly says that people are motivated by Trump's election to seek work. The Stock Market has soared because investors believe Trump is good for the economy. I guess it's just a coincidence the dramatic improvements that occurred the day after his election. I don't know what jobs bill or legislation you think Obama oversaw that helped the economy, but if you want to give him credit for the recovery of the recession, you have to give Trump credit for this.
Does Trump slap his name on any and every positive story? Yep. Is he an idiot because of this? Yep. Does that negate that he's had a very positive effect on the stock market and economy in general? Nope. Everything that has happened in the 46 days since he's been sworn in has been a positive for the average American citizen. The only people who can bitch are the illegals being sent home and the few thousand kids in school who genuinely suffer from gender dysphoria. The first group doesn't get to bitch and the 2nd group should take up their issues with all the progressives who think being gender fluid is in fashion and make a mockery of the incredibly small portion of the population who actually meet the medical definition of being "trans-gendered."

Dude, when a republican is in office, you go full retard. .
Nice pivot. This isn't about me. I'm not making the claim, YOU ARE. And you're full of shit.
I don't post links to partisan sources. You tried to claim I posted shit from breitbart before and I proved you wrong.
I'm not posting conspiracies or calling Presidential candidates I don't like 'sociopaths'. I don't condemn behavior and then defend it because someone on my 'side' does it.
If you have any proof otherwise, please post it. I have a conservative slant too, but only as it relates to personal ownership and following the law. If Republicans do something stupid, I call them on it. If I like something a Democrat does, I comment on that. You don't. You never consider the other side. You never post calling something progressive stupid. At best you'll dismiss something undeniable as obscure and insignificant.
So yea, I think I get to say I'm more objective than most. And because I'm not posting links to far left blogs or posting an article and claiming it's supporting something not even mentioned or claimed in the text, my links are more credible.
The only one who comes close to trying to be fair is ID, and even he jumps on the bandwagon too quick.
Mitch and Buzz are two sides of the same coin, but none of you see that. That's the difference.
