Why does the media let Obama get away with such bald faced lying on the stump?

When I see former President Obama and others lecturing Trump about lying, bragging that no one got charged in the Obama administration, blaming Trump for political and racial division and claiming credit for the booming economy, I long for journalists who will correct the record. Sadly, there aren’t many out there so I will try to do their job.

The first thing that needs to be corrected is when Obama is given credit for bringing us out of the 2008 recession. The truth is that the economy came out in June 2009, 110 days after Obama took office -- before any of his policies could have had an effect on the economy. Three main things brought the economy out. 1. TARP where banks and others were loaned money (that they mostly paid back) to shore up their capital base. 2. The Federal Reserve rapidly dropping interest rates and injecting massive amounts of liquidity into the markets. 3. Rapidly dropping oil prices. Obama had little or nothing to do with those policies or actions.

"Fundamental change" was Obamacode for break it up and turn it into less than it was. Another four (or eight) years of that under Hillary would have crippled us.

Why did they praise him when he was an illegal President and supported his lies? Why did they push his re-election on lies?

I agree. Not only will they not report the truth, even when they know it, but I get so sick of the double standard. Hillary saying, "black people all look the same, right?" and yet there is no uproar from the libs or the Dems or the snowflakes. Not one peep did I hear out of any group. One media source explained that she was obviously joking and the audience all laughed when she made the comment. Huh? I'm not a fan of Megan Kelly, but didn't she just lose her job and a 69 million dollar contract because she said "blackface would be okay at Halloween." What am I not understanding about these two situations? Hillary gets another pass. Obama gets a pass. Holder gets a pass. They advocate for their people to "kick us when we are down," "get up in their faces," etc... and then they claim Trump brought all of this violence out. What??? Am I living in an alternate reality? I have commented so much that I have been cut off from doing so any longer. They don't want to hear what I have to say. PLEASE GO OUT AND VOTE EVERYONE!!!!

What else would he say? He is a bold faced liar, so he can't speak the truth.

If his purple lips are moving.......he is lying. There has never been a more egotistical moron on earth. He thinks he is all that, and then some.
