Obama taking credit for economic miracle

"So when you hear how the economy is doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started," he said last year during a speech at the University of Illinois.

"I’m glad it’s continued, but when you hear about this ‘economic miracle’ that’s been going on when the job numbers come out – monthly job numbers – suddenly Republicans are saying it’s a miracle. I have to kind of remind them those job numbers are the same as they were in 2015 and 2016."
