The insanity of your post is overwhelming. Obama is an economic wrecking-ball, and he has used it with great skill against our economy.
He has never exceeded 2% GDP growth during he entire tenure, a record to be ashamed of, but I suspect he, somehow, in his wrecking-ball mindset, is just fine, if not giddy, with it. We suffered as a nation in all other facets of governance and internally as a result of the Destroyer in Chief (and I don't mean a small Warship).
No, this post is insanity. You refuse to pull your head out of the sand and refuse to see the how the world has changed.
I see more and higher quality jobs on sites like indeed and other job sites. The problem is too many Americans have the rust belt mentality that let the world pass them buy.
Look at the two year trend, not one quarter. It is undeniable, undeniable that the trend is down; not up, nor choppy, down. Inventories get reduced with demand - not the case here - or in the absence of demand over a too long of period of time. This is the case here. No demand over an extended period of time, so companies quit buying.
If that were the case, one would see it in other metrics. We are not seeing anything on a sustained basis that would suggest what you are saying at least not domestically. The strong dollar is hurting exports, that much is evident. GDP is an interesting headline, but it doesn't tell you much about what the economy is going to be doing down the road. By and large, we are OK, especially when compared to every other country on the globe. In a global economy (gasp!), we tend to rise and fall together. Make no mistake, this is a global issue. Maybe we need a world war to shake the malaise. That was the medicine in the past.
It's amazing how Obama always does great compared to himself. He's slashed the deficit (compared to himself), he has record jobs (compared to himself), the economy has grown (compared to himself), and he's popular (compared to himself).
not according to the numbers supplied by your own govt. and those are likely inflated so it's probably worse than reported.

ads do not translate into jobs. and how many of those "jobs" that you see have a connection to govt. stimulus spending? without obummercare and NSA spending (most of which isn't even counted because the NSA won't tell congress what they spend), our economy would be in shambles. financial engineering and schemes to prop stock prices up so that companies can keep going will only last so long. this economy is on life support without the life support it is getting now. lowest interest rates in 5000 years and we are just barely scraping by. entire global central bank experiment coming to an end and all they want to do is the same old thing that is not working. lest we forget debt service. not to mention the quadrillion in derivatives out there. this will end very badly.

Obama is the only president in decades to shrink the public sector actually. All of his job growth, now at 15 million jobs, has been through the private sector.
It's amazing how Obama always does great compared to himself. He's slashed the deficit (compared to himself), he has record jobs (compared to himself), the economy has grown (compared to himself), and he's popular (compared to himself).
Already forgotten how low the economy was 8 years ago?
Actually, 1.2% growth is still growth. When it starts to backslide and we are in the negative like when Bush was president then I will be concerned. What an idiot!

Pretty sure the GDP is up from the same time last year. Your own link claims to growing.

Yawn. You have a rust belt mentality and will continue to let the world pass you by. Doesn't take much to actually do a job search and see what jobs are out there.
