    I agree that Hillary would have been better but I'm gonna have to say that it's okay to disagree with me on this. No, I can't say he speaks bullshit.

    People can be wrong and still be good. I consider Da Lincoln to be good. I'm going to try to have a similar opinion about Maris61 although that might take some time, perhaps years.

    Bush was bad. That was very obvious. I wanted proof that he took credit for others accomplishments.

    The original post I responded to. So who do you need examples of taking credit from whom?

    obummer from Bush, obummer fron Trump? It is pretty easy, google is your friend.

    Oh, yeah, I have already conceded that the talking heads have given obummer all the credit, no surprise.


    The easiest thing to pont to is that obummer said that we would have to live with the new normal of two percent GDP, and now we are tickling four.

    I admit I despised obummer, but I do not want to get in the weeds on the guy. To me he is history, and good riddance.

    Talking Heads? Naw, never really into them. I was more Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Deep Purple etc.

    It was at 12.7 when Obama took office.

    It rose more during Obama's 1st term than any time in history.

    It rose to the highest ever, 16.8.

    It stayed in the highest range ever for nearly 6 years.

    It fell steadily the last 2 years of Obama's 2nd term.

    It has fallen steadily through Trump's first year and a half.

    It is currently at 6.6 the historic low and falling steadily.

    I expect it will continue falling steadily while Trump is in office.

    People have to be practically soul-less to twist this historic milestone in the history of US Civil Rights into an attack on the man who is currently piloting the ship through a sea of globalist icebergs.

    Falso

    Average Unemployment Rate By Year
    • 2009: 9.3 percent.
    • 2010: 9.6 percent.
    • 2011: 8.9 percent.
    • 2012: 8.1 percent.
    • 2013: 7.4 percent.
    • 2014: 6.2 percent.
    • 2015: 5.3 percent.
    • 2016: 4.9 percent
    That looks like a steady decline by my standards. I have no idea WTF you are talking about

    For someone who pretends to be so informed on a meme account.
    You're only showing to be good at one thing. A spin doctor.
    Perhaps if you actually did as much research as you claim you do.
    You would look at the reason why the economy tanked. Then the reasons why it recovered.
    It's not because... How did you put it?
    'Once business owners saw a Trump(a republican) had a shot, jobs started to open back up'.
    That's the definition of spinning. Nothing else.
    No facts, nothing but spinning for the Republican party.


    Instead you choose to post republicans can do no wrong and democrats are evil.
    You're not even a good meme account, as if you were. You'd attack both sides equally.
    Maybe go rethink your posting style and you won't have to believe people 'hide behind the ignore button because they can't debate'.
    When it's actually. 'People choose to not listen to your republicans can do no wrong' nonsense.

    Best thing about this, is I'll never have to see your spinning/uninformed reply should you choose to do so. Because of the ignore feature. As my kindness and patience for engaging with a meme account is now at it's limit for awhile.

    ps. Funny thing is I never once said it was incorrect what Trump posted. Only said it was a half truth and for ONE person/administration to take credit for the economy rebounding after it collapsed. Is complete bunk.

    The thread, and my posts refer to black unemployment.

    You have no idea what you are talking about.

    Actually I do know what I am talking about. You apparently don't. Your thread says and other talking points that are false. I stayed on topic. You just didn't catch the change. :biglaugh:

    And this might explain things as well as a downward trend seems to be a good thing doesn't it?

    Obama created 195,000 jobs for blacks.

    Trump has already created 700,000 jobs for blacks.

    It appears much of the decline pre-Trump was due to blacks being jailed or going on disability/welfare...which removed them from the unemployed numbers.

    Yes, there's no doubt that Obama was a superior basketball player. Although that's a pretty high number.

    When you're wrong, just switch tracks.

    An some refer to this as razor sharp.

    Can you show me where these "jobs" were created "for" blacks or was it just a by product of jobs being avajlable? I had no idea jobs were race specific.

    I think he's saying that's how many black people got jobs. Not super complicated.
