Again - Which Obama policy(ies) spurred this job growth? I understand that you said it isn't just one, so give me two or three then.
Not where I live. Everything still sucks. Less jobs and less people every year just like every other year. Never a recession in D.C. though.
Just of the top of my head: the stimulus package (or as they call it at Fox News "The O'Reilly Fuctor")
And saving GM. I can't recall the exact #'s but I kbow it was more than a million jobs saved/created when you factor in suppliers etc.
If GM wasn't around anymore(as Repugnicans wanted) then Trump wouldn't be able to take credit for jobs they've created recently, and he had nothing to do with......stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Sorry to hear that, but that might be a function of the world changing more than anything else.

Wow. Nice try bud. Talking about the job surge in the last quarter, not the slowest ******* "recovery" in the history of the country.
The job surge in the last quarter was on par with the same #'s from 2015(see my post above)
Obama didn't have World War 2 to help him like FDR did so yeah the recovery was slow, still impressive by any standard. Epic is more like it.

You have no credibility. Silly ****. Really.
Of course not....the truth is never credible to people who believe things like:
Global warming is a hoax
President and Mrs. Clinton had people murdered.
Comon Core is a plot against our kids
Jade Helm was about martial law and a federal takeover.
People like Cliven Bundy have a right to break the law because the federal gov. has overreached in its authority to create public lands
Sharia law will take over America
And on and on......the reason for those beliefs of course is because CONservatives are some of the most ignorant, xenophobic, and just plain stupid people in this country
So of course a democrat couldn't fix the economy.......especially one born in Kenya............................

Typical liberal. Can't answer a simple, direct question, and takes it into all kinds of other areas where you would get waxed again, but at least you don't have to answer the question at hand. As a reminder, which Obama policy(ies) account for the job surge this quarter? I'm sure you know that I can put together a list of Trump actions that directly and indirectly caused it, and that's in less than 100 days in office.

You are the most ignorant, Obama-*** licking, lying, butt-sniffing **** ever to walk the earth.
Let me begin with the "stimulus" package:
What does President Barack Obama know about the economy and what the government can and cannot do to create jobs? A fair measure is the economic stimulus plan Obama pushed through Congress in his first month in office. Did it work?
On Jan. 9, 2009, less than two weeks before Obama's inauguration, Christina Romer, who would chair Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, and Jared Bernstein, an adviser to Vice President-elect Joe Biden, published the incoming administration's analysis of the "job impact" they expected from Obama's stimulus. At the time, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.8 percent. In their analysis, Romer and Bernstein said that if Congress approved Obama's plan, unemployment would not rise above 8.0 percent — and they published a chart predicting it would drop below 6.0 percent sometime in 2012.
Well, Congress approved Obama's stimulus plan (which the Congressional Budget Office estimates cost $831 billion), and we are now in the second quarter of 2012. What has happened to unemployment? In February 2009, when Obama signed the stimulus, unemployment spiked to 8.3 percent. Since then, it has never dropped below 8.0 percent. We are now into the second quarter of 2012, the year Romer and Bernstein predicted unemployment would be drop below 6 percent. It now stands at 8.1 percent.
A standard line in President Obama's current stump speech attacks those who advocate "we go right back to the policies that created this mess." The president's implication is that the economic situation in America today, insofar as it has been caused by government policies, has not been caused by his government's policies. But, in reality, Obama is implicitly admitting his economic policies have failed. After all, three years ago Obama's top economic adviser told the country that if Congress approved Obama's plan unemployment would never top 8 percent and would drop below 6 percent this year. It did top 8 percent. It is nowhere near 6 percent today.
Obama's blaming the sad state of our economy on someone else's policies is not only an implicit admission of failure but an attempt to deflect debate from his failure. Lawrence Lindsey, who served as economic adviser to President George W. Bush, argued in a Weekly Standard essay last year that the proposition made by Obama's stimulus was absurd on it face.
"Everyone except flacks for the White House knows that the 2009 stimulus package failed miserably to produce the promised results," Lindsey wrote. "But even if you buy the White House's argument that the $800 billion package created 3 million jobs, that works out to $266,000 per job. Taxing or borrowing $266,000 from the private sector to create a single job is simply not a cost effective way of putting America back to work. The long-term debt burden of that $266,000 swamps any benefit that the single job created might provide."

Second, the idiotic phrase "jobs saved or created" is a Bammy invention, and the Bammynomics devotees admit - ******* ADMIT - that there is absolutely no way to calculate the number of jobs supposedly "saved." It is a fiction. A lie.
Third, the "stimulus" was basically a massive Federal infusion of tax money to states so that they could continue to overpay state employees' bloated salaries and benefits. That three-card Monty is coming to an end, as the undeniable insolvency of these bloated, taxpayer-funded retirement schemes is looming.
What is the unfunded liability of California state and local governments?
Put simply, the unfunded liability is the shortfall between retirement benefits that governments have promised their workers and the current funding available to meet those obligations. How much is it?
According to the state controller’s office, the unfunded liability of California’s 130 state and local government pension plans stood at $241.3 billion as of 2014, the most recent year for which figures are available.
http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-pension-unfunded/
The actual deficit in California is closer to $500 billion dollars. Repeat after me - half a trillion ******* dollars in one state.
Fourth, the ******* bullshit about poor Bammy inheriting such a horrendous economy ... uhhhh, no. Reagan inherited a much worse economy. Higher unemployment, higher interest, higher inflation, and yet did a vastly better job of generating economic growth with his reduce taxes, increase private economic growth policies.

And continuing, comparing the Bammy "recovery" with Reagan and, well, basically every other post WWII recession and recovery:
So, in conclusion, elfie, you ignorant ****, you need to change your user name to "RodneyKing" or "RKing."

I don't know why they wouldn't since it has absolutely nothing to do with anything Trump has done. He's been president for less than 3 months.

Once again, the question presents itself, which Obama moves powered this?

Shall we start listing the Obama policies that killed jobs over the last 8 years? That's an easy one.
Obama recovery!! Bwahahaha! That's some funny **** right there.
Really? You don't know why the media won't report anything positive while Trump is sitting in the White House?
You just revealed to yourself more evidence of media contempt towards Trump.
All you have to do is bring yourself to admit it.
Can you admit to the medias anti-Trump bias?
Its glaring dude.

It's comical to me that now suddenly conservatives are in love with a president that uses the power of the presidency to lean on privately owned companies to force them to do what he wants... i.e. Make America Great Again. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't bother me at all but it's all of you guys that bow at the alter of the "free market" and usually stand in steadfast objection to any government interference with it that have me puzzled. I know if a democrat ever did that, you all would be screaming from your soapboxes that the Stars & Stripes was about to be replaced with a hammer & sickle.
While on the other hand.....
And...let me part with my " pic of the day " whilst I can, I need to get to gettin' this morning...
Most economic reactions are long term events... many times what a president does will not effect the country for years, decades even... many if Clinton's environmental rules didnt even take effect until 2015... other orders dont come into play till 2025... so its true some of this could be tied to other causes, however its also true that Trumps rhetoric about extreme policy changes has sparked a huge speculation movement that is absolutely saving and creating jobs.. for instance a good amount if coal and gas plants in ohio have been purchaced by speculation firms rather than closed or mothballed.. that absolutely had nothing to do with Obama
So, can you bring yourself to admit that there is glaring anti-Trump media bias?
After you answer that then you can start providing details on what Trump is forcing on private owned business.
Your post is childish. Nothing but made up LIEberal rubbish.

Here is a good investment opportunity if you believe Trump's coal policies will save coal jobs. Get out your wallets.
Coal plants are going out of business because they are heavy polluters and natural gas is cheaper and abundant.
Trump needs to prepare the country for the future, rather than preparing us for the past.

What specifically are you talking about?
CONservative lemming ankle grabbers like the type on this board love authoritarianism/fascism while claiming to love liberty. They love it as long as it's their type of authoritarianism: Christian, Right Wing, Science Denying, etc.
That's why the flat earth bunch here love Trump's nonsensical statements on coal jobs, and manufacturing. The rest of the world has moved on..they still think it's 1984.
Speaking of 1984..I rest my case on loving authoritarianism, and socialism for that matter when it's their guy doing it. They think buffoons like Rush Limbaugh have legit points...then they'll mock you if you post something from Colbert or Myers, but we all know who the real clown is and who the lemmings are.
Just when you think you couldn't have a dumber president than Reagan....along comes Trump...BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Elftard bringing up 1984.
so goddamn rich and full of hypocrisy that you couldnt cut it with one of Susan Rice's pubic hairs.
