Republicans will blame a hangnail on him, but he never gets the credit for anything good.

1. I'm assuming you meant "gas" prices.

Nope. We won't hear a peep about that. Just like when W was in office you'd never hear a word about bush and high gas prices.

You know how that works.

2. How often do you hear Bin Laden mentioned?

Obama doesn't get credit for anything. All you hear, even before the campaigns got going, was how horrible everything is. EVERYTHING. THE American people live in a news bubble.

3. because it is primarily due to fracking which he has opposed

I assume this is why democrats in general are not talking about it. Don't draw attention to a public benefit that is the result of a practice you opposed. It would only give the opposition another talking point.

4. How often do you hear a network news story

or an advertisement say "In this bad economy". Seven years ago we were losing 800,000 jobs a month now we are gaining over 200,000
a month. Unemployment was nearly 10% now it is 4.9%. We were in two wars and every night the body count was read off in the news.
Gas prices were over $3.00 a gallon now they are less than $2.00. The news media has had a anti Obama bias for the last 7 years.
If you repeat a lie enough people start believing it. Trump is the result of media propaganda about how bad everything is.
