An Obama Economy Would Never Look Like This

Just last week, Obama tried to take credit for Trump's economy again. Those of us paying attention during the Obama administration knew he was implementing job-crippling regulations. Who else but Democrats would pass a massive law like Obamacare during a deep recession? Small businesses in my state of Florida were closing left and right. The company my husband worked for had been active for 75 years and they closed down. Mom & Pop restaurants and even chains were shutting their doors. It was such a sad time.
After one of Obama's ridiculous speeches, he had the audacity to thank HIMSELF for the great economy. 

The informed part of the population elected Trump in part because we knew he'd lift many of the (literally) hundreds of thousands of regulations Obama created. Obama said Trump supporters were calling it "a miracle". It was no miracle. We knew it would happen. It's just common sense.
The recession supposedly ended in 2010. Obama's recovery was the slowest and weakest since the end of WWII. The GDP averaged a pathetic 2.2% for the rest of his presidency. Obama supporters have such short memories. They must not recall he told the American people we'd never see 3% GDP again. He called it the "new norm", anticipating that Hillary would be the next president.
Democrats and the media (often one and the same) would like to re-write history, but the stats are there - at least for now.

When I need a Voice of Reason, I listen to Rush

Rush said some things today that I just had to share. So true:

"We are under assault; it has never been worse...
...We’re not in a battle of ideas. The left is not interested in our ideas. We’re battling people who do not want us to exist. They have no desire to coexist with us. They have no desire for the ongoing political arguments over the best way to do things for a majority of people. That’s not their interest.
Their interest is the elimination of opposition, however it can happen. They have no limits on how low they will go, on how depraved and perverted they will be in seeking their reality.
Folks, we are not legitimate in their eyes. Our ideas are not legitimate; our existence is not legitimate, and not even worthy of discussing or acknowledgment. In fact, they don’t even look at the United States the way we do. They don’t accept the founding of the country, the principles in our founding documents. They accept none of that. None of that is relevant...
...We’re not gonna become them. They have, as an objective, ruination and total human destruction of their opponents. That’s us. That may sound a little extreme to those of you that are here on the periphery. Do not doubt me. That is their objective: total destruction and ruination.
Well, how do we fight that? Decent people are not gonna try to ruin their political opponents. They’re gonna try to beat them. But we’re not gonna become who they are. We don’t have it in us to become who they are...
...We’re very lucky we have somebody willing to push back against it from the highest levels of power in the country. Donald Trump fearlessly pushes back on it, calls them out, identifies them. They’re not used to this. They don’t know how to react to it." ~ Rush Limbaugh 10/9/2018
