With today's big news of GDP growth at 4.1%, there seems to be an argument among our leftist brethren that this was Obama's doing. So, I will give you the floor.

In your own words, please give me specific examples of Obama's economic policies which spurned today's GDP numbers.

And go............

Ummmmmm ... because his arse finally ran out of terms and because he's no longer POTUS maybe?

That's the only one I can think of.

If you’re serious about keeping it an actual debate without insulting, my question would be at one point after the recession during the obama administration when the economy started picking up us credit not given to obama and only given to trump when he took over during the same rise?

I think they should both be given some credit. Trump is continuing the trend and doing well.

Obama held the economy down for 8 years, all trump had to do was take the shackles off and let it do its thing

This is so easy

The failure known as Obama DIRECTLY led to Trump being elected, ergo Obama deserves credit for anything positive Trump accomplishes.

What did Obama do? When has the US economy not recovered? When has it recovered slower than under Obama?

He said that we didn't build that, so the obvious conclusion is that he did.

easy

Obama gave billions in cold hard cash to Iran to not build nuclear weapons. It's taken a few years, but finally all that cash has made its way back into our economy as Iran is buying up parts and resources to build the same nuclear weapons they pinky swore they weren't going to
