Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday night, convincingly demonstrating to the entire world that he is, contrary to popular belief, a functional adult who is capable of reading patriotic bromides from a teleprompter for 80 minutes without going on a white-supremacist tangent. But during the parts of his speech in which the president glowingly touted some of the more noteworthy accomplishments of his first year in office, I couldn't help but notice that many of them shared a certain common thread. Let's go through the transcript together and see if you, too, can spot it.

Since the election, we have created 2.4 million new jobs...

The United States has yet to experience a single month of net job loss since October 2010. Barack Obama was president then.

...including 200,000 new jobs in manufacturing alone.

Manufacturing jobs in this country have been slowly but gradually increasing since 2010. Barack Obama was president then.

After years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages.

Inflation-adjusted wages have been steadily on the rise since 2014. Barack Obama was president then.

Unemployment claims have hit a 45-year low.

That figure has been plummeting since April 2009. Barack Obama was president then.

African-American unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded.

The African-American unemployment rate has been decreasing since 2011. Barack Obama was president then.

Hispanic-American unemployment has also reached the lowest levels in history.

Same thing.

The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining $8 trillion in value.

This continues a trend that began back in March 2009. Barack Obama was president then.

Just as I promised the American people from this podium 11 months ago, we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history.

It was the biggest round of tax cuts and reforms since the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act in 2013. Barack Obama was president then.

In Detroit, I halted government mandates that crippled America's autoworkers, so we can get the Motor City revving its engines once again.

A massive, ambitious government bailout rescued Chrysler and General Motors from the brink of bankruptcy in 2009. Barack Obama was president then.

Many car companies are now building and expanding plants in the United States—something we have not seen for decades.

Consumer demand and lucrative R&D incentives have been luring car companies to the U.S. for the better part of a decade. Barack Obama was president for most of that stretch. (And George W. Bush had a hand in that, too, actually.)

Last year, I also pledged that we would work with our allies to extinguish ISIS from the face of the Earth. One year later, I am proud to report that the coalition to defeat ISIS has liberated almost 100 percent of the territory once held by these killers in Iraq and Syria.

ISIS has been in decline since 2014. Barack Obama was president then.

Over the last year, we have made incredible progress and achieved extraordinary success.

"We."

Congratulations, President Trump, on your big speech. And as always, thanks, President Obama. For everything.
