"Economy grows at robust pace in second quarter"

= Obaminable has NO CREDIBILITY inside or outside of this Country...

Okay, so 4% growth is called robust (used to be called just another quarter under Bush), what do we call it when it is recalculated downward.
3.1% is what they expected, so is that normal?
What would you call it if they go below 3%, poor?
How about if we get down to 2.5%, dismal?
Hey, if we get it down to 2.1% then we can call it Obama normal.
Is it possible (like last quarter) to go below 1%? What do we call it then?

a MINUS 2.1 that was REVISED UPWARD from a MINUS 2.9

So the first 1/4 of this year was ...

.....a NEGATIVE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTION

How much do you want to bet that the 3rd quarter number is favorable - a couple of weeks before the November 2014 election? I seem to recall that the unemployment number had dropped to below 8% a week or so before the Nov 2012 election with a major state or two not reporting but no one "officially" knew which states those were!

The 2015 Obamacare signup notices and rate increase won't be coming out until Nov 15 thanks to an executive action by President Obama. And the 2015 Business Mandate will not be happening until 2016, if at all! Makes one wonder why Obama shut down the Federal Government.

"Thanks, Obama," says Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

I'm even going to make a prediction though I don't have to. I think that the most recent quarter will be redefined downward to about 2% from 4%. It should be called anemic but it will be celebrated as further positive growth. Everyone will forget that they are scaling GDP Obama style and even those numbers are suspect.

Benghazi was about Obaminable getting re-elected.

#1: He's not running, and
#2: He's now been discredited over it, and other lies.

When obama has lied and schemed so many times why is it a surprise to we don't believe him in things large and small?

Reread the posts, you are the one lipping at his tit

If it wasn't for the oil boon on private lands as the result of private investment this nation would be dead. Still Obama continues to keep his boot on the neck of the energy industry. The idea that you can grow the economy from the bottom up is insanity at its best. You can only take from those that have and give it to those that do not for so long before there is none left to take. You can only borrow for so long and so much before nobody will want your debt at any price.

I suppose that for a person that lived a privileged life he would not have a clue that when there are jobs available people need to work. As long as they can live comfortably off of the largess of the government , why take a job.

We have refineries here on the gulf coast that are designed to use exactly the type of oil that comes from the Canadian sands. Currently we are using the similar type of oil that is imported from Obama's great friends the communist Venezuelans rather from those enemies the Canadians. Is he protecting Warren Buffet and his train company that currently is the only way to deliver the oil from Canada? But we all know that carrying oil on rail cars above the ground is much safer than a state of the art pipeline.


Obama has done more to strangle the economy than any President I can recall. If it wasn't for the Fed pumping printed money into the market, not only would a whole lot of people lose their retirement savings but the government would lose the income from those deferred taxes. You talking about a mess coming when it all collapses and all that tax revenue evaporates into thin air and the seasoned citizens join the revolt. It will not be pretty. this is why the Democrats always say if you vote for somebody other than us they will take away your social security.

You know what else had robust growth...
Americas liabilities to assets ratio and debt to GPD.
