February 05, 2018 Ed Mazza,
President Barack Obama left office more than a year ago, but that didnt stop Fox News host Sean Hannity from blaming him for the stock market slide.
On his Fox News radio show on Monday, Hannity said the market drop ― which at its worst saw the Dow industrials plunge by nearly 1,600 points and closing down 1,175 points, wasnt the fault of President Donald Trump.
Because the Obama economy was so weak all of these years, we had just artificially cheap money, Hannity said, referring to a Fox News analysis he had seen on the cable network.
He explained that cheap money is from borrowing at ridiculously low rates, which he added must now end.
The government has artificially, the Fed has artificially, kept the price of money down and the price of borrowing down, and now thats going to come to an end. Then, he declared that the plunge ― which saw stocks erase all their 2018 gains ― is actually good.

If it's good, Trump did it; if it's bad, Obama did it.

I have known only two political parties, but I can't imagine a mainstream political party that was or is more corrupt than the modern Republican Party.

and his first couple callers, who were obviously well-schooled in the subject, essentially eviscerated the bullshit that Hannity had been handed to read, where he essentially had no idea what WTF he was saying.
