Blame this on Bush! Obama Has Lowest Average 1stQ GDP Growth of Any President on Record

[teapartysamurai]

After the destruction of the economy on Bush's watch, it's understandable that years later the damage would still not be undone.

Of course - unlike every other recovery ever which has always been faster and stronger THIS one should have been slow and anemic.

After the destruction of the economy on Bush's watch, it's understandable that years later the damage would still not be undone.

And Obama has had SIX AND ONE HALF YEARS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Reagan turned it around in TWO!

Reagan had 16 month recession DURING his presidency. lol, so he recovered from his OWN recession.

REGARDLESS OF WHAT HE RECOVERED FROM, HE STILL RECOVERED FROM IT.

Everyone knows it was Carter's mess, but REGARDLESS.

Whether it was Carter's or Reagan's mess HE STILL FIXED IT!

When does Obama get around to that!

Keep digging that hole of excuses, liberals!

To be a Democrat is to never have to say I am responsible for anything

If you think you can prove Obama is responsible for every detail of the economy, by all means,

entertain with that effort.

You guys seem to think Bush was, only to turn around on a dime when Obama became president and make it out Obama isn't to blame for anything!

Strawman. Where did I ever say that? Actually, the President is only one factor in the economy. I just like to mock you for your flagrant double standards regarding Republican and Democratic presidents

Notice Bush was to blame for everything when president yet Obama is NEVER to be blamed for anything.

Long after Bush as left office somehow Bush is STILL TO BLAME and Obama is just a helpless little innocent!

This thread is about Bush since you cited historical data including his presidency.

Now you won't blame Bush for the 2nd worst recession and you won't blame Reagan for the 3rd worst recession,

but you want to blame Obama for a slow recovery.

lol, you've been busted, Sea Hag.

 

[natstew]

Cue the paid liberals who will flood this thread with skewed or made up stats, that prove somehow Obama "created jobs." They can lie but the real numbers won't.

Obama Has Lowest Average 1stQ GDP Growth of Any President on Record

Even if you leave out the first quarter of 2009—when the recession that started in December 2007 was still ongoing--President Barack Obama has presided over the lowest average first-quarter GDP growth of any president who has served since 1947, which is the earliest year for which the Bureau of Economic Analysis has calculated quarterly GDP growth.

In all first quarters since 1947, the real annual rate of growth of GDP has averaged 4.0 percent.

In the seven first quarters during Obama’s presidency, it has declined by an average of -0.43 percent. And if you leave out the first quarter of 2009 and look only at the first quarters of the six years since the recession ended, it has averaged only 0.4 percent

In the six years of Harry Truman’s presidency for which the BEA has calculated quarterly GDP, the annual rate of growth in GDP in the first quarter averaged 4.5 percent.

Blame It on Global Cooling Obama Has Lowest Average 1stQ GDP Growth of Any President on Record

It's hard to get around the real numbers. Liberals will trot out the usual explanations that it's really Bush's fault, or the Republicans fault.

But Republicans are not to blame for this mess.

Lie your way out of this liberals.

I am not wanting to defend Obama but in Truman's time the growth exploded after the war was over due to pent up demand for most anything domestic.

I assume that job killers like Obamacare and certain regulations are hurting our recovery. And China is giving us a real run for the money when it comes to exporting consumer good, even at a lower price than we can offer.

Perhaps we can rectify the job killing issues but how do we deal with foreign competition? The consumers love the cheap prices on imported goods but how about the expensive merchandise we export, such a CATS, aircraft, and the like? If it weren't for this we could levy higher tariffs to protects some of our own domestic industries.
However, I fear that a lot of corporate sales and profits come from exports of big ticket items.

Can we have a sound economy and a comfy life with lower expectations of growth? I think so if we could only get the national debt down and the annual budget balanced. The way it is people borrow in hopes of growing their way out of debt, but it doesn't happen that way for our national finances, no it just makes matters worse. How can the people say no to those shysters who insist on borrowing us into perdition?

How about work stoppages or slow downs, how about boycotts of merchandise? Somehow we consumers need to show WDC that we are fed up with their wasteful spending.

"I am not wanting to defend Obama but in Truman's time the growth exploded after the war was over due to pent up demand for most anything domestic."

And the demand was met by Americans working in American Manufacturing Plants. They don't exist now thanks to our Liberal and one sided trade agreements. (made by Democrats and Republicans), The need is met by foreign workers in foreign Manufacturing Plants. Our economy is fueled by printing and borrowing money. We have no manufacturing base worth speaking of.

Um, NO! Nice try, but just because you declare this thread is about Bush doesn't make it so.

It's about Obama and how you liberals will STILL TRY TO BLAME HIS FAILURES ON BUSH!

Just because you have a reading comprehension problem is not MY PROBLEM.

Now what do you Obama for?

Still waiting!

The S&P 500 is not a good indicator of the economy. Hell, it isn’t even a terrible indicator – it has little connection with the overall health.

It is one of the things that the democrats like to point to for Obama all the time – the stock market has hit all-time highs. It has done so for completely different reasons than a healthy economy (you know – like free money). I always get a laugh when those same people that hate the rich and bemoan the wealth gap and then pat Obama on the back for a raising stock market.

It is a BS indicator when they use it and it is a BS indicator in comparing economic situations.

Inclement weather can slow production and shipping.

And on bad days shoppers tend to stay home.

Yes, yes, blah, blah, blah. Actually, there's one pivotal fact that causes the beginning of the year to be a time of frugality for the American consumer. Wait....it's actually two. It's a conjunction of two factors. One is that it immediately follows the holiday season where people have just spent every last penny of disposable income plus maxed out their credit cards. Care to take a guess at the second factor?

And NO OTHER PRESIDENT has had to deal with that issue, ONLY OBAMA, right?
