Thank you Obama! Your actions and lies led the US people to vote for an outsider with common sense on job creation!

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits declined 25,000 to a seasonally adjusted 234,000 for the week ended April 1, the Labor Department said on Thursday. The drop was the largest since the week ending April 25, 2015.

Claims have now been below 300,000, a threshold associated with a healthy labor market for 109 straight weeks. That is the longest stretch since 1970 when the labor market was smaller.


I mean, from your article, the thanks Obama sarcasm has to be tongue in cheek since the market started improving like this under him.

Since Trump has taken office, jobs have exceeded expectations of jobs created. When Obama left office, the unemployment claim was what, 5.4%? Which is near the healthy static jobless number for a healthy economy.

So how can we still be adding close to 300k/month for the first 3 months of Trump's administration, with no end in sight for a down turn? If we were at 5.4%, we'll be at 3% before this year is out, and near 0% by end of 2018. It is impossible for a country to have 0% unemployment.

Which would mean what?

The answer, is the Obama admin didn't report real unemployment. We've been knowing this since his admin started.

It's cute you progressives believe everything that came out of the Obama admin despite

1) IRS targetting
2) $500 billion in fraud at HUD
3) $300 billion lost in Obamacare rollout
4) Obamacare's multiple lies

I could keep the list going, but i don't have that kind of time.

Riiiiight, I forgot Trump's administration was the arbiter of truth and virtue. The problem you guys have is that if Trump had inherited a shitty job market, these numbers three months in would all be Obama's fault. But that's not the case, Trump inherited a good job market, and you want to nullify 2/3 of it to give the credit all to Trump. fricking sheep, man.

The article that you are masturbating over states that for the past 109 months we have had a "healthy labor market". Who was president for 98% of that time?

Spurred on by which Obama policies. Name them.

1) Bush's fault (bites you on the arse every time)
2) Name one single policy put forth by Obama that brought jobs back
3) Remember this video?

Obama to Carrier "those jobs aren't coming back"

Remember the magic wand comment? Well, Trump waved it, and got Carrier and multiple other companies to come back and invest in American Manufacturing, which, was the largest employment gain last month according to CBO.

You have NOTHING to prove this is Obama's doing. Absolutely nothing. Face it, Obama was a loser, and you are still backing that lame horse.

I challenge you to answer my last comment. I'll wait.

I'm going to bookmark this thread, and when unemployment reaches near 0, i will ask you again, how can you possibly have 0% unemployment. I suspect you will cower away from it though.

109 weeks. Just let that sink in, healthy job market for 109 weeks. I'll just keep calling scoreboard through this whole thread. Trump is just keeping the Obama economy going.
