In other words, many of obama's job #'s come by due to companies that had to layoff and started hiring again. Trump can point to many actions he has taken to increase new jobs, as stated in the article. What did obama do to increase jobs???

Even if you don't count the recession/recovery... (Jan 2008 we had 138K employed, recession went down to 129K, after recovery we were back up to 138K in April 2014)

Obama added 7 million jobs in his last 2.5 years.

We're still on that trend.

Did the labor participation rate grow or decline under Hussein?

OMG!!! We've been over this already!
Obozo caused industry to shed full time employment through his Commiecare initiative. People were forced to find secondary employment, thus creating the illusion of job growth.
This is my point about GIGO, you can make the numbers appear favorable, simply by lying, or in this case, ignoring the effects.

One person doing two jobs is not growth. Two people doing a separate job can be growth. But, should the level of job have a say in the growth? If everybody is doing low-skilled jobs, are we really growing? Trump is bringing back companies. Real jobs (higher paying/high-skilled) are being created and not just the low-skilled ones.

Now it's a trend?

Why did Obozo say "Those jobs are gone and never coming back"? How is it you can't see that everything the left did was private sector job killing? How is it you can't see that the left was trying to destroy small business, offer everyone food stamps, increase govt dependency and hiring, as a way of forcing people to become dependent on govt?
Killing industry by choking it with stifling regulations does not grow industry, it does the exact opposite!

unfortunately Obama was president for eight years and that is what is counted you are cherry picking what you want. We do not just pick Trumps best six months.
