Let’s pretend that all the success we enjoy under the current administration were set in motion by the economic policies of Barack Obama, as some have suggested. Things like the 3.5 percent unemployment rate, the lowest in 50 years. According to CNBC, there have never been more Black and Hispanic Americans in the workforce. The jobless rate for Hispanics hit a record low of 3.9 percent in September, while African American maintained lowest rate ever, 5.5 percent. Consumer confidence is up and people are optimistic about the overall state of the economy and their personal financial situation. All this despite many on the left openly pulling for a recession in order to regain power.

After three years it’s getting harder and harder to pretend or convince the American people that Barack Obama is the mastermind of all this! Now let’s pretend that Hillary Clinton didn’t refer to 62,984,828 people as deplorable, she might have been the one to occupy the oval office. After all it was her turn!
