"Economy GREW less than expected" is being reported as bad and negative news for Obama???WTF???

The media reports all and any slight positive news for the administration as really BAD, BAD news for the country. Does anyone understand the operative word here is "grew"? Plus do people understand compound growth. It's like EXXON reporting that they suffered losses when their profits were only 30% of last year's profit when last year's profit was at record levels and a 400% increase over the previous year.

It is amazing how the experts are wrong month after month, it's always a huge shock to them that 0bama hasn't fixed everything in the last 30 days.
Why are you complaining DUmmy the media will have Barry's back, expect the headlines to start reading "Growth higher than expected" this fall.

1. Translation: The economy didn't do as bad as we had hoped.

With all the obstructions, is still grew, damnit.

The real obstruction is the president.

3. Considering our media is controlled by Obama hating billionaires who were out to destroy him day one...

It doesn't surprise me in the least that they are blaming everything they can on him - despite that former president Larry The Cable Guy and his disastrous policies put us in this shit to begin with.

Suddenly the media is only Faux Snooze.

6. When are you cheerleaders going to recognize..

... that the "growth" we've had the last 3 years is SO INFINITESIMALLY SMALL that at this rate it would take 20 years to complete a "recovery"?

Seriously, our "growth" is so low it is practically a rounding error away from not being growth.

There IS no RECOVERY, the crappy economy DOES work against Obama and not everything you read in the media is wrong.

OUCH!

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

If Bush was still in office they would be agreeing with every word they are saying.

At what point are they going to realize that the anemic growth we're experiencing is, for all intents and purposes, NEGATIVE, when you add in the increase in population, etc?

Not to mention inflation, and real wages.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Not to mention that Obama still has a negative job growth.

How about when a reduction in projected gov't spending, when it's still an increase over the previous year, is portrayed by the media as "Republicans slashing X social program"?  Do you ever open your stupid pie hole and complain about that lie, primitive?

73,000 jobs created, 600,00 rejoined the workforce. Not good for owebuma.

Levin pointed out recently that in all other recessions household wealth grew around 2%. Obama's recession is the only one where household wealth decreased, and its currently down about 5%.
