Obama sold the stimulus in primetime. He traveled the country making speeches as well, yet the BS about him not selling it continues. He also passed it while the economy crashing, so everyone knew it was necessary. Many opposed it simply, because he was Black. #inners
The other BS narrative is that it wasn't big enough.. Franken and another Dem weren't seated yet. He needed two republicans to pass it, he got three. They wouldn't support more. And guess what? It worked. It prevented a depression. I'm tired of the lies. #inners
The Obama stimulus saved towns like Elkhart, Indiana. He visited those cities, including Elkhart. They knew who and what saved their economies. They still voted GOP. He saved the auto industry. I remember a worker saying he was voting for Romney in 2012, knowing that. #inners
Under Obama, we went from the economy crashing to a record 75 straight months of job growth, thanks to the stimulus and saving the auto industry. Trump inherited that, and destroyed it. The job growth before the pandemic was Obama's #inners
The media also trashed the stimulus, before it even had a chance to work, like they did with every bill Obama signed into law. They didn't credit him with anything. Aside from Fox, Biden is getting due credit. The difference is obvious. #inners
Look at how the media is giving Biden his due for getting a big bill passed. Obama got the stimulus, saved the auto industry, the ACA after other presidents couldn't get health care, etc. The media trashed all of it. Yeah, every bill wasn't perfect, but he could. #inners
