Puh-LEEZE! Valerie Jarrett's spin on today's jobs news is 'beyond delusional' (just GUESS)

Another Friday brings with it the release of details about the new jobs report:

You know it must be fairly good news, because a certain somebody is crediting the president who left office well over a year ago:

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

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:

And that’s saying something!
