Of course. But this idea that the economy is pathetic is belied by the numbers. The numbers show strong and rapid recovery. Trump would be screaming these numbers from the rooftop. Thus my issue is people claiming its good or bad without providing evidence. Comparing trumps first 3 years to obamas last 3 years is a good comparison (and it shows roughly the same economy/GDP. My problem is pundits claiming 2.4% growth is pathetic when O was president, but 2.4% growth was roaring when T was president). Include the pandemic year ...well, we know why it took a dump. Obamas first year had a similar problem to Trumps last.6.5% growth relative to a year, when the pandemic drove economic lockdowns?
That is not an awe inspiring accomplishment and certainly not a relevant year for comparisons to anyone's record
if you lose 10 lbs in weight would you think it should be compared to the 15 lbs lost by a 350 pounder ?

Even if it is not the best comparison, it is still something to compare. Thus someone claims it's pathetic. 6% isn't.
No it is notit is still something to compare.
probably, however that still does not make it a meaningful comparison relative to years not recovering from a pandemicTrump would be screaming these numbers from the rooftop.
no it was notObamas first year had a similar problem to Trumps last.
He did do something in the best interest of the people, he won the 2020 election and got Trump out.Why is this guy so bad at his job? Can he do anything for the best interest of his people? How is it possible to suck this much?
Joe Biden after 10 months: Worst president ever
The Joe Biden presidency has not provided a lot of things to like after 10 months and is simply the worst president to date, says Dan Cummings.www.reporternews.com
Of 51% of the people. Enough to win, not enough to say he represents the vast majority. Same applies to Trump and to almost any other president in the past.He did do something in the best interest of the people, he won the 2020 election and got Trump out.
Do you remember infrastructure week which was pretty much every week during the term of the only twice impeached POTUS in history. Remember that big beautiful infrastructure package he passed during his entire term. oh wait a second he never did. joe did in his first year.He did do something in the best interest of the people, he won the 2020 election and got Trump out.
Trump never got 51% of the vote...Of 51% of the people. Enough to win, not enough to say he represents the vast majority. Same applies to Trump and to almost any other president in the past.
Trump never hit a 50% plus one vote majority in any of the two elections he was involved in. The vast majority of Americans are glad that he is out of office!!Of 51% of the people. Enough to win, not enough to say he represents the vast majority. Same applies to Trump and to almost any other president in the past.
51% is not VAST majority. It is just a small majority. And why do you always want to compare Biden to Trump? If Trump was so bad but only 51% people preferred Biden to Trump, what does sit say about the preference between "regular" democratic and conservative candidate? If Trump was so bad but the margin was so low, doe sit mean Biden would have lost to almost any other top Republican candidate?Trump never hit a 50% plus one vote majority in any of the two elections he was involved in. The vast majority of Americans are glad that he is out of office!!
Probably. They're both shit choices. Obama was the last capable president, despite me disagreeing with a lot of his policy decisions.51% is not VAST majority. It is just a small majority. And why do you always want to compare Biden to Trump? If Trump was so bad but only 51% people preferred Biden to Trump, what does sit say about the preference between "regular" democratic and conservative candidate?

While Obama presented himself as far more rational than Trump and far more competent than Sleepy Joe, he was a hypocritic salesman pushing a divisive and foolish agendaProbably. They're both shit choices. Obama was the last capable president, despite me disagreeing with a lot of his policy decisions.
I agree with you on this. A vast majority would have to be in the high 80s at the bare minimum, though I'd say probably in the mid-90s.51% is not VAST majority. It is just a small majority. And why do you always want to compare Biden to Trump? If Trump was so bad but only 51% people preferred Biden to Trump, what does sit say about the preference between "regular" democratic and conservative candidate?

I'm not quite sure how Obama was a hypocrite. Could you explain your reasoning on this? As for his agenda, it was something most Americans supported. The Affordable Cares act is quite popular. It could have been even better if the GOP didn't fight it tooth and nail for their big donors, or the fact that they new it was such a winner for Dems that is would likely hurt their popularity. Obama was not perfect, and everything we say about him is tainted by the fact we are so close to him. But, there were no serious scandals in his administration, and he guided the US out of a horrible economic situation, giving Trump a strong economy and bull market to gloat about.While Obama presented himself as far more rational than Trump and far more competent than Sleepy Joe, he was a hypocritic salesman pushing a divisive and foolish agenda
He promoted the climate change propaganda and then bought a sea side mansion.]I'm not quite sure how Obama was a hypocrite. Could you explain your reasoning on this?
until the true costs become apparentAs for his agenda, it was something most Americans supported. The Affordable Cares act is quite popular.
there is a cost for everything and pretending there is not, is just foolishIt could have been even better if the GOP didn't fight it tooth and nail for their big donors, or the fact that they new it was such a winner for Dems that is would likely hurt their popularity.
speak for yourselfObama was not perfect, and everything we say about him is tainted by the fact we are so close to him.
this true , credit due where credit is dueBut, there were no serious scandals in his administration,
odd how the loonies give credit to Obama for this but refuse to give Steven Harper his due credit , despite Canada's relative better recovery from the debt induced financial crisisand he guided the US out of a horrible economic situation
Which sleepy Joe is going to screw up badly with his green agenda, giving Trump a strong economy and bull market to gloat about.
NO president has matched Biden in the number of votes cast in his favour. Yes the FIRST president to win over more than 80 million votes. Hence he won by almost 5 percentage points more than Trump. Trump just got less than 47% of the votes. Well if You think that this margin is not impressive, then by implication, Trump's win in 2016 was shit, as he did not win the popular votes and got only 46% of the votes versus 48% for Clinton. Yet he boasted about what a huge majority he won by as the Electoral College favoured him in that respect!!51% is not VAST majority. It is just a small majority. And why do you always want to compare Biden to Trump? If Trump was so bad but only 51% people preferred Biden to Trump, what does sit say about the preference between "regular" democratic and conservative candidate? If Trump was so bad but the margin was so low, doe sit mean Biden would have lost to almost any other top Republican candidate?
Despite being Republican/Conservative, I fully agree with this statement. All three candidates in the last 2 elections (Clinton, Trump, and Biden) were awful.Probably. They're both shit choices. Obama was the last capable president, despite me disagreeing with a lot of his policy decisions.
