Why do liberals ignore the fact that a Republican Congress is what is behind the upturn in the economy and not anything Obama did?

I haven't seen a single one of them show us anything Obama did in the last 4 years of his Presidency that could have been responsible for economic improvement. Then tell us how Congress (controlled by Republicans) had nothing to do with it.

Update:

And exactly as I knew it would happen, not one liberal was able to mention a single thing that Obama did to help the economy. And not one of them could link to a single piece of credible evidence to support them. Most of them didn't even try to honestly answer the question. Same as always.

    The United States of America has been both Republican and Democrat, back and forth for many years. You can say one foot is better than the other but, what would you do without the other foot?

    It's not just Congress, it's the 100s of government regulations that Trump has rolled back.

    He could have vetoed everything congress tried to pass, so he must of seen some reason for being bi-partisan at times.

    So are you saying that the economy was doing well long before Trump started taking credit for it? Other than obstruct, what did the Republican congress do for the economy to cause the upturn?

    The upturn predates the Republican controlled congress.

    The upturn was first seen in July 2009.

    No. No. Obama just carefully planned all his stimulus packages to effect the market on November 11, 2016.

    So you agree it has nothing to do with Trump? You must be a RINO. 🤩

    It's about time one of you dumb c0ntards came to your senses.

    The economy was improving for the last several years of the Obama presidency. It was already improving. Corporations are certainly happy to have an anti-regulation president in office now, so the stock market is strong, but that doesn't necessarily help poor, working class, and middle class people.

    Congress has little to do with it, they have been sitting on their thumbs until this Tax Reform Bill

    so far this economy can all be given to Trump and the actions he could and did take

    But he can only take us so far, congress HAS to continue to be involved
