republicans in congress obstructing Obamas agenda is the reason !!! the president and his left wing cronies have been accusing the right of obstruction for over a year !!! God Bless the Republicans !!WASHINGTON Fresh evidence indicates that the labor market is continuing to heal and that there's stronger economic growth supporting new hiring than the most obvious numbers might suggest.
The Labor Department said Thursday that new claims for unemployment benefits dipped last week to 359,000 the lowest level since April 2008. Jobless claims have been moving steadily lower in recent weeks amid other signs that the job market is gaining strength.
Separately, the Commerce Department said Thursday that its latest tally of the nation's gross domestic product, the total value of goods and services produced, showed a solid 3% annualized increase in the fourth quarter last year.
That's unchanged from its previous estimate, but the new report showed gross domestic income another broad but less commonly cited measure of economic activity jumped at a much higher annualized rate of 4.4% in that quarter.

The economy's been growing since June of 2009. God bless Obama!!
Ah, show me the last time the economy DIDN'T grow coming out of a recession? The truth is that this economic recovery has been excrutiatingly slow...due in large part to Barry's decision to go after Obamacare before dealing with unemployment and the economy...coupled with a stimulus package that didn't really stimulate anything. Now you've got his energy policies coming back to bite his skinny behind with high gas prices that will be passed along with higher prices on most consumables.
Our economy is slowly growing DESPITE Barry and the "Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight" (otherwise known as Summers, Romer and Geithner) who put together his economic strategy. Get someone in there that doesn't treat the private sector like the enemy and the economy will most likely grow MUCH faster.
