No one is saying that, it's a century plus of big intrusive government makes for stunted growth. Nothing good can function in a socialist environment. Over 50% of the the population depend solely on the sorry ass federal government for the first time under Barrys watch. While it not its not all his fault he certainly has not helped thing as all.So if I recall, Obama when campaigning in in 2008, he said he would fix the economy in his first 4 years. You know, his one term POTUS comments.
8 years later and he still has done the worst job ever. No, this is not on the Pubs or Congress or Bush. It's Obama's clear inability to govern through compromise
The data is indicative of a POTUS who prefers to rule, instead of govern, from an Imperial Whitehouse

The rate of real economic growth is the single greatest determinate of both America’s strength as a nation and the well-being of the American people.
On Thursday the Commerce Department announced that the US economy expanded at the slowest pace in two years. GDP growth rose at an anemic 0.5% rate after a paltry 1.4% fourth quarter advance.
Ronald Reagan brought forth an annual real GDP growth of 3.5%.
Barack Obama will be lucky to average a 1.55% GDP growth rate.
This ranks Obama as the fourth worst presidency on record.
SIMPLY THE WORST=> Obama is First President Ever to Not See Single Year of 3% GDP Growth
It's really funny how you simpletons think that a president moves the GDP rate up and down like he has a big dial in the Oval Office he can turn any way he chooses.
Goddam you people are stupid.
This video sums up the last seven and a half years the best... Lol
This is the truth. Massive shrinking of government since Obama became president:
The red line, government jobs. The blue line, private sector jobs.
Massive shrinkage? What you mean is putting the data on a chart that makes a MAYBE 5 percent drop, look massive.
Here is from the BLS, it indicates no such drop, the spike in the middle was caused by the census.
