Yep. 👆
I guarantee you that if something bad had happened like the stock market crashing soon after Trump got into office that the leftist snowflakes would be blaming Trump for it.

Let's fact check.You state several facts:
1. Obama was handed a recession.
2. Recession was in full swing by year two of his presidency.
3. Obama's numbers, considering points 1 and 2, speaks volumes to Obama's leadership skills.
4. Trump was handed a strong economy.
[b]Fact 1. Obama was handed a recession.
Financial crisis started during Bush' presidency. Measures to curtail the crisis were started and nearly completed under Bush's presidency.
2009 saw a large drop in economic performance which was already on its way and repairs put in place (evil, crooked repairs).
Obama got to take credit for recovery because he inherited a bad economy that was 100% bound to recover, anyway.
Result: Superficially, true. Under the hood, false.

Fact 2. Recession was in full swing by year two of his presidency.
The recession was over by Obama's second year and in Obama's second year, the economy had a massive jump.
Result: False as can be.

Fact 3. Obama's numbers, considering points 1 and 2, speaks volumes to Obama's leadership skills.
Based on the actual facts for 1 and 2, you're applauding Bush, not Obama, for the economic recovery. That's probably not what you intended.
Result: False supporting premises, false conclusion.
Fact 4. Trump was handed a strong economy.
Not really. He was handled an okay economy and it has surged under his leadership. Perhaps not due to his leadership, however.
Result: Mostly false.
Conclusion:
Obama was spun by the media and the masses as the messiah. The first black president. Super intelligent. Etc. This is the PR machine for Obama.
Trump was always spun as an evil (yes), perverted (yes), corrupt (yes). Media was always against him. Trump doesn't help his image sometimes, as well.
Despite all these factors, for Trump to have approval ratings higher than Obama's during the same time in the presidency while Obama was taking the credit for the economic recovery, that's a miracle.
So you fail the fact check from all angles. Your point is also wrong. [/B]
Interesting, thanks for posting.

Just take a wild guess when Obama's second year in office started...Now I'm not saying it was after 2009 or before 2011...but I am.
Also, don't pay too much attention to the bailouts only happening in 2009 from that screenshot you took. They started in 2008 under Bush. Remember this link?
Link also doesn't work for me.

Try this (no, I am not being a smarty pants, this can actually work in this particular kind of situation):
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Bailout+Timeline%3A+Another+Day%2C+Another+Bailout
The article name is:
Bailout Timeline: Another Day, Another Bailout
If I go to it using google, it works. It's possible that the site has a "no direct linking" rule put on? Meaning, it has to receive hits to the site from specific host names or IPs as a means of protection from DoS attacks.
No, I am not kidding. I think more and more sites are doing stuff like this.
Maybe doing it this way will work:

No, that didn't work.
And now the link doesn't work for me, either. Even when I revisit the link.
Seems the site is having issues. That was a good site. Outlined the corruption of the bailout.
