Remember the Anemic Economy? Fake News

So, now that the election is over, apparenly the media has decided to break out the truth.

U.S. economy grew strong 3.5% in third quarter - Dec. 22, 2016

Of course, that would have killed the Obama's anemic economy lie that the Right has been pushing for all these years now.

Sheesh.

"A major, one-time, increase in soybean exports helped explain why the third quarter was so good."

Thank God (Obama) for soybeans! Here's to hoping we can ride a major, one-time increase in pork belly exports next quarter to keep things rolling!

Now, now. You all know damned well that if Obama was a White Republican and Bush the Black Democrat, you all would be waving your "The Economy is Great!" flag, telling us all how great of a job your leader did rescuing us from the colossal mess left behind by the Democrat.

Threads like these are great in drawing out the hypocrisy of the Right.

Doing 3.5 percent is relatively good in a general way. But the Fed is all out accommodative and the fiscal deficit was on going. There is a lot more to it, of course. But those are relatively important factors that would be responsible for a good part of the growth.

Actually

According to CBS.COM Obama's GDP over his 2 terms was not that "great" he lags behind Bush II, Clinton, and Reagan...

Let's put it this way. I'd rather be Donald Trump handed Obama's economy than Obama inheriting that disaster Bush II left behind.
