If you can tell me where I ever said Obama is the worst President in history pertaining to bad economic news your reactionary response would have merit.

I know it applies to some people but not me.

Expect to see continued improvement in the years to come.

It's pretty close to the historical average of the last 65 years (3.2%) - and more than it averaged under Bush (2.3%). It's not as good as I'd like, but it's not a bad number.

Not high enough to get excited about but high enough for me to not get on board with any new plans to stimulate the economy.

When did they ever back off?

I didn't mean YOU in particular.

But that seems to be the predominant thinking on C-D amongst Conservatives in C-D.

Anything bad economically IMMEDIATELY gets blamed on President Obama.

Any good news is either discredited or they act like it doesn't exist.

I think all one has to do is look at FED polciy. They continued life support with anther QE and the markets volumes alone tell you alot of the real fundalmentals. Now we see extentio of unemployemnt extention wnated by Oba,a which speaks volumes. The FED recentl;y even said that they will further increase projections of QE thru 2015.Remove the QE and then you see real fundalmentals of how well the economy is doing.We are livig at this level on credit card basiocally has a nation and we will see the bil come due and then deal with that as after math of this economic storm.
