Bartiromo: ‘Really Crazy’ to Credit Obama with the Booming Economy

EXCERPT:

BARTIROMO: "I find this really crazy. I think that when somebody’s ideology overtakes their brain you have a problem because ideologies, I think, are dominating that poll. There is no doubt that the expansion bottomed out under President Obama, there's no doubt. The stock market and the economic recovery began under President Obama, no doubt about it, it was in 2009 was the bottom of the market when we first started seeing a change in terms of economic growth. But we have been growing in the last 10 years by on average 2 percent under President Obama. His best year was the worst year for most presidents. So, once President Trump started campaigning on these policies about lowering taxes, about rolling back regulations, there was an anticipation that started to creep up and that started to force businesses to unleash the purse strings."
