What a recovery! Obama can't leave office soon enough!!!

[mothball]

Lol!!! Business is booming baby!!!

You can bet it will be adjusted lower. It almost ALWAYS goes lower when it’s this bad.

[DugwayDuke]

Can be seen as both positive and negative. Negative because of lower growth. Positive since it make Madam President less likely.

Finally reaching European levels of growth...

[servantboy777]

GDP numbers almost always revised downward over the last several years. I expect this .5% to magically turn into a 0-.1% in the coming revisions.

[depressed in 06]

PATHETIC!

Beneath pathetic, it is Obummer.

[VTenigma]

That’s just how much more money we printed.

The economy was also blindsided by cheap oil, which has hurt the profits of oil field companies like Schlumberger and Halliburton, resulting in business spending contracting at its fastest pace since the second quarter of 2009, when the recession was ending.

Where did this line in this article come from? Straight from the Oval Office and the DNC? Blindsided, as in a football term?

I expect marketing fluff from CNNABCCBSNBC but CNBC should be above thi ... oh, wait, it's CNBC, home of the Washington Shills.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Let’s not forget Obama’s boast last week in Europe that he saved the world’s economy in 2009. Some recovery /S

[Gritty]

Why on earth should we expect a robust economy?

Massive government regulations? 20 Trillion in debt? Illegals pouring across our borders? ObamaCare? The Fed manipulating the stock market? Massive increases in welfare and food stamps? Exports of our jobs overseas? Importation of huge numbers of H1B visa holders? The highest corporate taxes on earth? Slackers and Gibsmedats by the scores of millions?

I could go on, but why? It's a wonder we are still standing in a weak wobble.

Yet somehow, with this anemic growth over the last several years, unemployment is down to 5%.

Go figure!

[Nachum]

Lowest growth rate in two years.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Recovery Summer VII.

[central_va]

But Carrier outsourced production to Mexico so all is good.

On a year-on-year basis, the Mexican GDP advanced 2.5 percent.

[Sam Gamgee]

Hilarious that they tell us the job market is doing great.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Keep in mind, the last ten years have seen the most massive borrowing and money creation in history, and we still are seeing hardly any growth.

The Keynesians will tell us that increasing the money supply should lead to growth, priming the pump, they say. Well, they've flooded it, and still it won't start.
