Obama was constantly given credit for stock market and job growth in the mainstream media. Other than Fox (I guess, I don't watch much TV news) Trump gets little credit which is squeezed into a constant barrage of investigations of Trump for collusion and personality foibles.

I am suspicious of stock market growth. I personally don't measure it as a success for a President's policies. Especially when, in my opinion, it occurs in times of slow job growth and weak business conditions. My opinion of Stock market booms under Obama was that it was fueled by the huge stimulus packages created by government pumped money into the banking and investment communities which was not based on actual strong business or job growth. It appeared that the major job growth under Obama was either in government, or in business that was heavily regulated and subsidized by government, and was weak in growth outside of major government influence where what growth occurred was not well paid.

Trump seems to be attempting to grow the industrial
base which traditionally provided well paying jobs for average folks, and depended on entrepreneurship rather government cronyism. Remains to be seen if his policies succeed in that direction. And if his own party backs his efforts.

I was listening to that bastion of right wing propaganda probably directed from the Whitehouse other day...NPR....and they were talking about the recent job numbers...seems worker participation rate is ticking up finally, 1.1 million fewer on food stamps and the bulk of job creation is employing lower wage and education portion of society which would seem like a good thing but I guess that takes them out of the government dependency womb which I'm sure disappoints some...

the thing to watch is the revisions....with Obama and Clinton they would tout and celebrate good jobs numbers which were regularly revised downward a month or two later.....


"Trumpanzees" is great and probably racist...but Trumpanzees vs. the Obamorons would be a fantastic Creature Double Feature

What major news bureau would you determine as fair and balanced in reporting?

All I hear is how great O was for restoring the Stock Market, particularly from Socialists and anti-corporate types.

many of these so called Obama created jobs are a direct result of ObamaCare and changing the requirement for providing healthcare to 30 hours a week. Many part time 38hrs a week jobs instantly became 28 -29 hrs/week jobs. For every 38 hr per week job he created a "NEW" 28 hr per week part time job. My wife and my daughter were both victims of this when their part time jobs were dropped to less than 30 hours per week and their workplaces hired a few more part time employees to fill the gaps. This type of job creation hurts America more than helps it.

if Trump uses an executive order to undo an Obama executive order...I have no problem with that...you can call it hypocrisy, I call it abiding by the standard(s) that Obama and democrats have set in governing.........they might be low standards but it's the ONLY way these things get undone...if Obama is going to expand executive powers to DO things, those same expanded powers need to be used to UNDO things...this is not complicated...the left seems to think that once they accomplish an objective, no matter how unseemly the method to accomplish, the result should be set in stone and stand for all time and suddenly their methods for accomplishing those objectives are out of bounds(talk about hypocrisy?).....if the Republican Congress were to lie, connive and distort the process to undo Obamacare...I'm good with that because that's exactly how it was passed....it's not not a "double standard" as far as I'm concerned...it's "same standard"....I don't want to hold Trump and the Republicans to higher standards than the democrats...I'm content to hold them to the same standards that the left holds the democrats to for the time being...holding repubs and Trump to higher standards only forces them to play by a different set of rules than their competitors resulting in failure.....clearly, being nice to the democrats and MSM is not a formula for success if you are a republican...which is why we now have this Trump guy somehow finding his way to the Whitehouse
