How many years did we hear Barry claim that all of his problems came from the Bush Administration? All eight of them, as I recall.
We can sharpshoot Trump - God know he tells more than his share of whoppers - but it is unquestionable that the economy both in real terms and more ephemeral "confidence" terms far surpasses the Obama years now.
Obama was completely feckless in foreign policy. His regulations strangled the economy where the standard business cycle should have driven far better numbers.
Barry was smoother about the lies he told, but he also told some doozies.

LTC (Join to see) - The dems were, old Nancy even promised to negotiate about wall funding if he signed the budget, he did and they did not. The trade war, as you call it, is because every President before allowed other countries to screw us. Your own charts show how hussien sucked and Trump is doing great. The only criticism is wages are flat, but they are expected to rise. Thanks for shooting your own point in the foot.

PO1 Don Reed - You might want to learn how to read a chart. Trump is the kind of guy that will drive the last 50 miles of a 500 mile trip and take all the credit.

Mr. Sweeney, He (Trump) was behind the steering column when the vehicle crossed the finish line.

GDP can be tricky. More government spending increases GDP even if it is borrowed, which Trump did.

Resorting to name calling? I suggest you look up the components of GDP. I have.

MAJ Ken Landgren - The Trumpites just follow the example of their "Dear Leader". Can't handle any disagreement without resorting to name calling

AP states that Obama passed the Veterans Choice program in 2014.
