Obama had 8 years to do this and didn't take one baby step to cause this. Any excuse for him like the FED or economy was already getting better is LAME.
Obama didn't have 3% growth any year of his 8 YEAR Presidency, the ONLY PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY TO FAIL THAT BADLY!

If you looked at my post, I edited to make clear that the quoting feature on the forum did something crazy. The 401k remark was supposed to be a direct response to JLasoon, not you.
I understand why Europeans don't like this. This is taking money from their economies and putting it back into the American economy. I would be mad too, but I don't live in Europe.
So easy to dismiss the economy that Obama entered the office with though, isn't it? As if that had NO influence. Nor that he was fighting against a R leaning congress. Let's forget that too.
What you don't know, Obama called your father personally and asked him to give you a job.
Funny that I see the same thing happening over and over again.
You like the president :
1. All good things are because of the current president
2. All bad things are because of the previous president
You don't like the president :
1. All the good things are because of the previous president
2. All of the bad things are because of the current president.
Too bad there are only two selections.... a 1.5 would be nice, some things are because of this president, some from the last. Reality is normally in the middle.
Sorry guys. Too late. I don’t think America will be great again. Asian countries are much stronger. And their current leaders and planners (and very soon academics), in my honest opinion, are far wiser.
Apple. Good job.
Apple. Good job.
So? Any Republican would have beaten the disaster that was Hillary Clinton and they all would have signed tax reform.If Trump hadn't gotten elected, Jack Squat is what you would have gotten.
That is the Prime Minister vs President model and it’s not a bad idea. A mouth piece like Oprah to be our leader and bring us together and preside at national events and an organizer like ... trying to think of a president who had those skills... maybe Trump?...not sure. But someone who can run the executive branch very effienciently.
First two years was a democratic congress, middle four years was split, and the last two years was republican. Can't get more even then that.
And where did he get the ideas for what he allegedly was pushing for? Certainly not from Steve Bannon. Or himself as he once pushed for a 14% wealth tax. This tax bill was standard Republican orthodoxy.
Still seems pretty ungrateful of you to not thank Obama for giving you a job.
If it takes you 8 years and you cannot figure the job out, give it up man.
Hyperbolic statements aren't worthy of debating. Trump is lagging in many areas in his first year. The only thing he really got done (and it was Congress, not him) was the tax bill. And TBD how that will play out. I know for me, not well short and long term. As for the country - the verdict is still out too.
We can have a better society by ridding America of the Republican pests. Let's clean America's house and then we can grow our economy as great as Obama did.
That's interesting. Did your father live in an independent economy outside of Obama's control?
What country are you guys from?
This is literally taking $350 billion from America and putting only an additional $5 billion back in America.
That would be nice, no?And now we’ll get comments after comment about how if only Apple would pay it’s fair share of taxes.
puts up hand
"Does that mean we'll also get a new Quad Core Mac Mini?"

Tell them what, hire two people, creating 20,001 jobs and I'll split my $17.5M with the other person.
