How do you know she's not just saying this because it's true?

Sure enough:



Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA) also call for Sessions to recuse himself. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said the same thing in an interview with Morning Joe, but then equivocated later on Fox News.

Market is over 2100. I think investors are happy with Trump. This is why you need a businessman as President.

Obama took it from 8000 to 19700.

George W. Bush's ethics lawyer compares Sessions to Nixon's AG Kleindienst, says he needs to resign

We shall see. No way to tell until the end of his presidency and probably quite a few years afterwards. We've always argued back and forth whether a business person should ever be president, I guess we'll find out.

He did. There are arguments that he could have done even better. That being said, he inherited a depressed market. For what Obama was given, he did a fantastic job in stabilizing multiple crises.

That's not enough information to justify a need. It looks like a want. A comprehensive investigation of both business and men can sort that out.

Oh, I never replied to this because I got a 24 hour chez-out.

I don't think it's a coincidence you made this comment :

in a discussion about something I wasn't involved in and you also mentioned an underground rap duo from the area. You not answering the question of where you are from is hilarious.

Again, it just shows how incredibly dishonest you people are about everything. This one is really, truly funny though. Lol, Prana.

Way too early to tell how trump will do with the market and the economy, but if he manages to do everything he's said he's going to do except create a trade war w/ china he will kill it.

Obviously obama wasn't concerned w/ aiding the market or the economy. Obama & the federal government combined deserve <5% of the credit for what the market and economy has done for the past 8 years. They grew in spite of him not because of him. Giving him credit for stabilizing the economy is nonsense.

For the record I believe bush deserves some of the blame as well, but not as much as obama (or as much as clinton does for his part of '08).

CNN says venue wasn't right place for trump to address sessions debacle. When has that ever stopped captain orange before?!?!?

Wow. If CNN says it then it must be true.

point being trump is in real *** if he's not going off the rails about the media crusade against him after his "glorious" speech.

Ehh. He was put in a bad spot. What he inherited was awful, and we did really come close to a global catastrophe. Him playing it safe is very understandable. Stability was more important than growth, by far.

Obama deserves credit.

Get ready for 4+ years of Trumpkins saying this out of one side of their mouth while praising Trump's stock market out the other!

People forget how serious the credit crisis really was. It got really alarming in 2008 when they almost broke the buck. It was truly scary.

He got saved by the the free market which was able to overcome government.

The free market deserves credit.

I agree. People give the government and the president way too much credit when things are going well and not enough blame when things go bad. The government literally convinced people it was the free market that made '08 happen and government was the hero. The greatest example of amazing PR work I've ever seen.

No doubt about that. It was the scariest market we have seen since the great depression. The government got us there and the free market saved us despite what the government's PR team has said.

Ah, yes, the "free market" swooped in to save the banks in the form of hundreds of billions of dollars given by the federal government. Did a bald eagle swoop in and save America with a single tear at the same time? Jesus ****ing christ this propaganda.

In news more relevant to this thread, Sessions just recused himself from any investigations relating to the 2016 presidential campaign in a press conference.

Left wing political correctness is getting out of control

goofy, what caused 2008 (assign percentages if more than one culprit is to blame)?

Why did the market and economy continue to get worse after the bank bailouts and all the QE?

Go start a thread if you want to have an extended discussion about the financial crisis. The only point to which I care to derail this thread is to point our your obvious bull**** when you suggest "the free market saved us".

Just answer this question: Do you think the government was a net positive on the economy in '08 & '09 and the free market was a net negative?

The Attorney General of our country is a lying liar.

Yes.

This is a difficult and unbelievably complex question, but I think my answer is probably "no".

I'll never get tired of bahbah and wil having ~0 economic knowledge but thinking they do are professors while trying to minimize very, very complex issues into one sentence answers.

Greed got us there. Government prevented the bottom falling out. Private sector was bad at times and good at times. You are not nearly as clever as you think you are.
