    A big thank you for our roaring economey to former President Obama, Hillary Clinton, former Mayors Marks and Gillum, a special shout out to former City Manager Fernandez and Reese Goad, and I'm sure our beloved soon to retire hyphenated City Ethics Officer Blondie "on the job relationship expert" also had a lot to do with our roaring economey that gave us such a stellar real estate 2020 kick-off!!!!
    Oh wait it was President Trump that brought us the roaring economey wasn't it now????

      Silly Snidely - of course it's really obama's economy now! After all, he's taking credit for it, right - so it must be true! And of course, when everything was rotten while he was failure-in-chief, that was all the previous administration's fault! So, his legacy is taking credit when things go well (and he's no longer in charge), and blaming others when things were bad (and he was in charge). Ah, to have the carefree attitudes of a dem-socialist!
