The best days for American prosperity are yet to come because the Trump tax cuts are just starting to make a difference. And under @POTUS, we’ll keep fighting for policies that put American JOBS and American workers FIRST. #MAGA https://t.co/qiMfTpRGDf

You know it must be fairly good news, because a certain somebody is crediting the president who left office well over a year ago:
Valerie Jarrett gives credit to Obama….???

LOL! Yep, Jarrett’s giving all the props to her former boss at the White House:

VIDEO – Valerie Jarrett (@vj44): We Should Give Obama Credit for Today’s Jobs Report https://t.co/vj0CcY3OtT

CNN’s Alisyn Camerota asked Jarrett if she gave President Trump any credit for the positive jobs report, and she just couldn’t bring herself to do it (video at the link):
CAMEROTA: “The breaking news that we just had moments ago were the new job numbers, the lowest in anybody’s memory, 3.9 percent unemployment rate. It’s been 15 months of Donald Trump’s presidency. Do you give him credit for that?”
JARRETT: “Look, I think we have to look at it over a longer horizon than that. If you think about what the economy was like when President Obama took office, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. Under his watch the unemployment rate dropped in half and it’s encouraging to see that we’re continuing to make progress. We want to see wages go up and I think that’s an important focus and I was glad to see you talk about that too. So for the workers out there who are back to work today, I think it’s very encouraging.”
Hmm, Team Obama used to take a different approach to both positive and negative economic news:
Obama blamed Bush for everything bad for 8 years, now his goons want credit for everything good that happens since he left. Doesn't work that way, especially when they've spent 15 months bitching about how everything Trump was doing was going to make things worse. @ValerieJarrett https://t.co/Q4pvkynaLv

these Obamabots are a laugh a minute
they used to scream years after they were in charge the economy still sucked because Bush handed them a disaster
now they want to claim jobs data is Obama's work @vj44 a horror

Just like Jarrett credited Bush for the jobs reports in mid 2010.
