From what I have read this is the first time since the late sixties that a president tried to directly influence interest rates.
So, yes, shocker.

Meh... influence... insert eye roll here.
First of all.. he's just making comments in line with his thought process all along. Nothing new. And he isn't trying to influence the rates, he's just commenting on how much they kept rates low for Obama and have constantly raised them under his tenure.
Neither are lies.

He doesn't want them to hike the rates to a point of hurting his economy, higher rates tend to hurt American exports and manufacturers, something he has been staunch on trying to rebuild.
The point is.... we don't want rates at 0, but we don't want them to continue rising.

Shocker that you people are still shocked by anything that happens in D.C.
