Is this a joke? All of that is unmitigated BS.

Dow closes above 17,000 and no one cares

And the Monica Lewinsky award for Democratic sycophantic journalism goes to....ABC News!

[skeeter]

If what ABC News has been reporting over the past five years about the economy were true we'd all be as rich as Rockefellers by now.

Accelerating?

Like Thelma and Louise?

As they reached the edge..

DC Movies.. Coming soon

Obama Soars .. Country declines

Recovery, my arse. Incredible that the media continues to parrot this lie from the Obama administration.

[adorno]

ABC conveniently forgets that, a 2.9% drop in GDP is the opposite of a recovering economy.

That 12.1% real unemployment number is also conveniently not mentioned by ABC.

But, the people who visit ABC will remain ignorant to the real facts about the crumbling economy; but, that’s the intent. Obama is very appreciative of ABC and the rest of his media compadres.

Summer of Recovery #5! It’s a big effin deal says Joe Biden. lol

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They know we know they are lying, but that's what they're paid to do.

I think we do have a decent economy for about 75% of America. That's made up of a lot of hard-working people that are earning and spending money. Nothing wrong with that. That's where all the growth is coming from.

But we have this 35% that's not working. About 33 million, or about 10% are retired, so we assume that they have saved enough and are living comfortably, and somewhat participating in the economy.

But then you have the non-working, non-retired 25% existing off the government's growing debt. They are not adding to the growth, as they are just surviving; not producing, and just barely consuming on the fringes.

Looking at the growth of the 75% may look good, but when it's all added together with the 25% anchor, we might very well be headed into a recession.

Safely out of range of the attention span of the Obama supporter the ABC employee risked his job with some real reporting..

Researchers at the liberal Economic Policy Institute estimate that 6.7 million more jobs would have been needed to keep up with U.S. population growth . . . Just 62.8 percent of American adults are working or are looking for a job, compared with 66 percent before the downturn . . . long-term unemployed has dropped 1.2 million over the past year . . . [but] numerous people without jobs have given up their searches — a trend that could drag on future U.S. growth . . . .

What kind of kool aid do they pass out at ABC?

[AFreeBird]

Bull$#!t

[DManA]

Nobody in Big Media noticed that the economy SHRANK last quarter. It’s accelerating all right. Accelerating downwards.

[TalBlack]

“A surprisingly robust job market is energizing the 5-year-old U.S....”

A recovery that needs energizing 5 years after it has begun cannot by any measure be called a recovery.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Well, growth was down 2% last quarter, so if it’s down 1.5% this quarter, the economy will really be humming.
