Haha i knew you would have one. You realize that usually after recessions America has had some of its biggest gdp growth right? Except during obama of course.

Of course the reason in this case is that the Republican "deficit hawks" (you know, the ones who are fine with Trump deficits but refused to accept Obama's fiscal policy proposals) held down the speed of the recovery.

Guy drives car into 20 foot ditch, leaving it upside down.

Stands around bitching that it takes so long for someone else to haul car out of ditch, repair it, and get it back on the road again.

...so he can drive it away and find another ditch.

What do you think would have gotten us out of a recession faster? He had a stimulus package gutted to the point of non-existence. It's fine to blame Obama for the dysfunction, some of it he did to himself. However, it's ridiculous not to at least acknowledge that Congress has been at it's worst in his Presidency.

You can make an argument that Obamacare was a drag on the economy, but it would certainly be overstated. I think the economic policies were largely a failure, the main issue being how the bailouts were more friendly to business than citizens. A lot of that was settled under Bush though.
