Kevin Hassett: No, This Is Not Obama’s Economy

Mr. Obama came out the other day to bash Mr. Trump for being a miserable president, then took credit for how good things are during the Trump Presidency.

No one on the left seems willing to make that challenge nor are they getting up and shouting all that much about how all their prognostications about the end of the world – should we cut taxes and regulations, or just elect Trump -have not only failed to come true, the opposite has happened.

The economy is booming, and it’s not because of Obama or any Democrat and here’s a guy to make that case.

White House Trolls Media With Press Release That Repeatedly Refers to MS-13 Gang Members as ‘Animals’

smirking-trumpWhat You Need To Know About The Violent Animals Of MS-13” is the title of a May 21st, White House Press Release. A perfect retort, touche, or as they reported over at Twitchy, “Like a BOSS! White House ‘trolls the SH*T’ out of the press corp with MS-13 press release and OMG.”

That’s what you get from this White House, which I admit is a pleasant change from the previous Republican President who let the left and the media steamroll him without a word. But it wasn’t just the Media who got trolled.

White House Changes To Benghazi Talking Points Revealed

Compiled from emails exchanged between the White House, State, and other Federal entities, The Weekly Standard reports on details compiled and released that show what the White House knew, when they knew it, and what they ended up saying.  (Image of talking points before and after on the jump).

Synopsis?

The first, at 4:05 p.m. (all times are Eastern Standard Time), indicated that the compound was under attack; the second, at 6:08 p.m., indicated that Ansar al Sharia, an al Qaeda-linked terrorist group operating in Libya, had claimed credit for the attack. According to the House report, these alerts were circulated widely inside the government, including at the highest levels. The fighting in Benghazi continued for another several hours, so top Obama administration officials were told even as the fighting was taking place that U.S. diplomats and intelligence operatives were likely being attacked by al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists. A cable sent the following day, September 12, by the CIA station chief in Libya, reported that eyewitnesses confirmed the participation of Islamic militants and made clear that U.S. facilities in Benghazi had come under terrorist attack. It was this fact, along with several others, that top Obama officials would work so hard to obscure.

The Obama Admin went with the random riot and then YouTube video lies for what, a week or more–despite evidence it was an al Qaeda affiliated terror attack.
