President Trump slaps back when Obama tries to take credit for his economy

As always with Obama, the only spotlight is on himself.  There's no room for the American workers in this piece of undeserving self-congratulation. Trump, naturally (because he fights), had a response:
Andrea Widburg "It's been fascinating watching the Democrats try unavailingly to address the fact that the economy under President Trump has been rocket-fueled.  That effort reached its apex on Monday, when Barack Obama put out a tweet boasting about how it was his Recovery Act, which he signed on February 17, 2009, that not only saved the economy but laid the groundwork for its current strength.  The responses to his tweet were swift, especially from President Trump.
"One of the things that truly riles the Democrats is that President Trump has so much to crow about.  And crow he did during his State of the Union address, making sure to distinguish his economic accomplishments from the Obama malaise." . . .
 . . . "One of the funniest videos you will see today is Tom Steyer, who claims that Trump is presiding over a dismal economy, fighting Martha Raddatz as she points out that, even if Trump's lying about his economic numbers, Americans also happen to think things are great:"
. . . After watching Steyer getting slapped down by another committed leftist, you'd think Obama would have known better than to tangle with the Trump economy. But no...Obama waded right into it: @BarackObama Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history." . . .
