Obama Takes Credit for the Success of the US Economy: ‘Just Remember When It Started’

‘When you hear these folks bragging about this “economic miracle,” just remember when it started’

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: "And the actions that we took during the economic crisis returned the economy to healthy growth, initiated the longest streak of job creation on record, which continues to today. Thanks to folks like Rich and Betty, we covered another 20 million Americans with health insurance, cut our deficits by more than half, partly by making sure the wealthiest American folks, like me now, paid their fair share of taxes. And by the time I left office, wages were rising and poverty and uninsured rates were falling. So just remember that when you hear these folks bragging about this economic miracle. Just remember when it started. Just remember when the ball got rolling."
