Everyone is running around this morning surprised at how low this figure is. I am surprised at how high it is.

[Gaffer]

WTF? We’re boomin, aren’t we? I hear every week we have more private sector jobs and less applications for unemployment (good Democrats don’t believe the rumors about lying statistics, etc.)

I mean at least one of the dealers in my town (Ford) has its lot more than half full (the other GM and Chrysler dealers are about 20% full). There’s not too many store fronts still vacant - and that new KFC from a year ago didn’t close because of the economy - it shut because we don’t have enough chickens here in North Georgia - yeah, that’s the ticket.....

GDP down? Nope, it’s them damned Republicans who ain’t got Obama’s back lying about it. Damned racists.

WORST .... RECOVERY ... EVER.

[Senator_Blutarski]

Fear not! “Recovery Summer II” will be coming soon.

"Not even Reuters can make this one look good, calling it “tepid” and noting that it missed expectations"

Unexpected! Drink!

[VanDeKoik]

BUSH!!!!!

[OrioleFan]

Obama is probably headed out to the golf course today thinking, “we’re right on track.”

[central_va]

Just the deficit spending is 10% of the US economy. IF you subtract deficit spending the GDP is really negative 8%!!!!

[erod]

Whoever, wants 4 more years of this regime is insane.

[tcrlaf]

“but stronger demand for automobiles softened the blow.”

Pretty damn easy to sell new cars when Government-owned Ally Bank is financing 450 Score Credit Criminals on Government Motors cars, to boost Obama’s econ numbers.

And remember, Government-owned Ally Bank FAILED it’s stress test recently.
I can’t IMAGINE why, can you?

Yeah, this is how it works in a fascist, centrally-planned economy, folks. YOU will get stuck with the bill.
