I remember when Bush presided over the worst economy since the Great Depression.

The Obama recession continues.

Even the low information voters will feel the pinch and the Dems will get blown out in November if the GOP can walk and chew bubblegum.

The economy is no longer being propped up by Fiat currency and is now only being “propped up” by the Hollow words and justification of know LIARS....

You good folks...just don’t get it!!! Obama is on a personal mission to destroy the United States of America!!! Everything he does...everything he touches, he seeks to degrade and destroy the economy, the people, all of them, including the country, itself. He has put us all in harm’s way. I sincerely fear for what is coming from his Muslim terrorists buddies to kill and injure our innocent American citizens on our own soil.

And.....what do the American people & Democrat, low life vermin do, they stand by like weak, sheep being led to the slaughter. Sad & pathetic...this inaction from a once great nation,,,,that Obama has made not great at all!!!

Get with it, Americans,.....Obama hates both Americans and the country itself...and his phoney wife. Michelle is the worst racist hater of all!!! End of story!!!

Just heard Smith Barney said it was the largest drop in 53 years that was not related to a recession. I guess next quarter it will be?

as I said to the hubby, the SCM blames the horrible COLD winter for the economy failing so badly....but out of the other side of their stinking mouths, its all about how horrible global WARMING is....

they get it both ways....whatever needs to be explained, they'll twist every little fact to suit it...

“...but there are indications that growth has since rebounded strongly.”

I’d fly my ROFLCopter in response, but I can’t afford the gas for it anymore.

Thanks, Obama!

Actually a lot of us expected this as ObozoCare became a reality.

Disposable family income after paying for ObozoCare becomes slim or none.

Obamacare Will Suck the Life Out of the Economy

The word “unexpectedly” for negative economic reports has become a much-mocked cliché in the media over the past five-plus years of recovery, but this week’s final look at first-quarter economic growth deserves an exception. First estimated at a meager 0.1 percent annualized rate, and then downwardly revised to -1.0 percent in May, most economists expected a smaller revision to the downside – in the -1.5 percent-1.8 percent range.

The recent -2.9 percent decline is actually -5.9? wow. It seems awhile ago they decided to redo the way the GDP is calculated........yet no one is screaming bloody murder?
