To borrow McEnroe's phrase, "You cannot be serious" ...

[dogtag]

obama has the unmitigated gall to claim credit for the roaring economy ?
What will he claim next I wonder ? Oh yes, of course, the wonderful
employment figures, the huge number of people no longer on welfare,
Factories re-opening and last but not least the tax cuts - which if he
could he'd cancel in the blink of an eye.
If we wait a while I'm sure we'll hear him claim credit for ending the cold
war, or if he's on a roll, World War 2.

Let's just ignore him -- it's not like he's major player any more.

From someone who never considered him a legal president I surely don't listen or read what he has to say about anything.

I don't pay attention to anything this lying traitor says. Trump said he fell asleep during the speech.

[rkohut]

Damn straight, he has the right to take credit.

He also takes credit for;

Writing of the Constitution
Winning WW1 & WW2
Abolishing Slavery
The Moon Landing
USA Hockey beating Russia
Beating the British
Gettysburg Address
Winning the Cold War
Etc

When I hear or read what guys like him have said, I always remember what Hunter said to Wingate.

Wingate, a British General, ordered Hunter, an American Colonel, to have his pack mules "de-vocalized" to prevent them from hee-hawing in the jungle. Hunter refused, saying, "Braying is the only pleasure a jackass gets in this life."

If you believe, as the Obamahdi does, that good things only happen because of government, then, yes the current economic boom is due to his policies.

If you believe, as the Obamahdi does, that good things only happen because of government, then, yes the current economic boom is due to his policies.

So when Trump says it's because of his policies, it's true, but if a blue state governor says the same thing at the same time it isn't true.

Watching politicians jump on and off the stage in sync with the ebb and flow of the economy is one of my least favorite things about our form of government.

What Hunter said to Wingate.

Vern is that a conditioned response now?
