When a US Federal government deficit of $1.5 trillion can only produce a 1.6% GDP then I would call that “frightenly horrible”.

I get this mental picture in my mind from "Young Frankenstein"
"Could be worse. Could be raining..."
Thunderclap! (Rain starts)
"Damn your eyes!"
"Too late"
Just replace "liberal ideology" with eyes, and here we are....

The AP is “frightenly horrible” for such reporting.

Oh, let me guess... during that last quarter the “administration’s” economic policies saved or created 49,876,021,765,774,214 jobs.

The headline should read:
Good news! The economy is not like a Grizzly Bear eating you, it’s only like a Wolf. This is much better!

When I was coming up, we'd have said "frighteningly." I guess nowadays it's okay to bastardize words; their teachers sure as hell don't know the difference.
I hate to hear people say "he 'commentated' on this or that," or "we 'conversated' about it."

Very readable graphs of economic data. Looks like economy is slowly improving.

You can superimpose graphs of previous recessions on the current one. You can see stats by individual state.

Who are you going to believe? The AP or your lying eyes?
The stock market is no longer an accurate measurement of the nations economy.

Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that the ecomony here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.

Everybody lets go back in the way back machine to 2007 when GDP slowed to ~1% growth. Wasn’t everyone in the media in sackcloth and ashes over it, calling it a “virtual” recession because you really needed >2% growth to accommodate population growth? Hmm...

I would guess that depends on your point of view. If you're Barry Hussein Soetoro 0bama and vacationing every other week, eating lobster and wagyu steak, it is not bad.
On the other hand, if you're an American who has been out of work so long you've given up, then you have a different perspective.
