Trump booed after slamming Obama economy during SOTU

ABOUT TIME 
WHY DIDN'T THEY CALL HIM 'LIAR' 
THEY SHOULD HAVE STOOD AND TURNED THEIR BACKS ON HIM 

As President Donald Trump attempted to attack President Barack Obama’s administration during his discussion of economic performance, Democratic members of Congress audibly hissed and booed his remarks:

Straight up boos in the chamber now as Trump continues to attack economic policies of the Obama administration. All of the applause coming from Republicans so far. #SOTU

Wow, you can hear boos and groans from the room when Trump dings Obama era, says “failed” economic policies, and more murmurs when he claims minority gains. Pelosi sitting on her hands. #SOTU

While many economic indicators have increased under Trump, most have just been continuations of trends that began in the Obama era.

Trump also bragged about how many people had been eliminated from food stamp rolls, conveniently omitting that at least some of the 7 million person decline is due to his decision to tighten eligibility restrictions, rather than people being lifted from poverty.
