SIMPLY THE WORST=> Obama is First President Ever to Not See Single Year of 3% GDP Growth

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.
Barack Obama will be the only U.S. president in history who did not deliver a single year of 3.0%+ economic growth.

According to Louis Woodhill, if the economy continues to perform below 2.67% GDP growth rate this year, President Barack Obama will leave office with the fourth worst economic record in US history.

SIMPLY THE WORST=> Obama is First President Ever to Not See Single Year of 3% GDP Growth

Consider NOTHING has happened during Obama's terms that EQUAL these events that GWB endured
and HE still is the worst President!
REMEMBER GWB FACED all the below and still had average annual growth of over 2.9%!!!
Recession??
Are you aware that a recession started under Clinton and became official 3/01 ended 11/01?
Because idiots don't seem to comprehend... RECESSIONS are like large ships.. it takes miles to turn one...i.e. so does a "RECESSION"...
it doesn't just start the day NBER states... it is a slow degradation and it started under CLINTON!!!

A Major $8 trillion market loss
Are you aware that the dot.com bust occurred and cost $8 trillion in losses?
Again Clinton laid claim BUT someone had to pay and it occurred during Bush's first year!
$8 trillion in market losses MEAN lost tax revenue.
PLUS JOBS!!!!
According to the Los Angeles Times, when the dot-com bubble burst, it wiped out $8 trillion dollars in market value for tech companies.
More than half of the Internet companies created since 1995 were gone by 2004 -
and hundreds of thousands of skilled technology workers were out of jobs.

The worst attacks on the USA in History.. 3,000 deaths!!!
Obviously most of you are UNAWARE 9/11 cost 3,000 lives, $2 trillion in lost businesses,market values assets.
Jobs lost in New York owing to the attacks: 146,100 JUST in New York.
Are you aware this happened???
Now before you idiots say "well Bush should have known"! DUMMIES... ever hear of the Gorelick Memo signed under CLINTON??
Gorelick Memo that created the wall between FBI & CIA thus no knowledge of the 9/11 bombers shared with the FBI!!! Looks especially imprudent 10 years later.
Because the memo created a barrier for U.S. intelligence agencies to share information with the FBI, one of its unintended consequences may have been to prevent the FBI from receiving the necessary intelligence to stop the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the worst in American history.
Gorelick Memo Allegedly Impeded Probe of Clinton Fundraising Scandal
1995 memo [Clinton presidency-concerned about Chinese election sales] Gorelick wrote, stated explicitly that they would “go beyond what is legally required, [to] prevent any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance that FISA is being used to avoid procedural safeguards which would apply in a criminal investigation.” GORELICK Memo!
Jamie Gorelick’s wall barred anti-terror investigators from accessing the computer of Zacarias Moussaoui, the 20th hijacker, already in custody on an immigration violation shortly before 9/11.
At the time, an enraged FBI investigator wrote a prophetic memo to headquarters about the wall.
Whatever has happened to this — someday someone will die — and wall or not — the public will not understand why we were not more effective in throwing every resource we had at certain problems…..
especially since the biggest threat to us UBL [Usama bin Laden], is getting the most protection.
So, a year before the 9/11 attacks, a special unit in the U.S. military was aware of the presence of an al-Queda cell in Brooklyn, New York, and sought to share its information with the FBI but was stopped cold.Why?Because (as described in the April 16, 2004 Washington Times piece) “on March 4, 1995, [Jamie Gorelick, the then number 2 official in the Clinton Justice Department, sent a 4-page directive] to FBI Director Louis Freeh and Mary Jo White, the New York-based U.S. attorney investigating the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
In the memo, Ms. Gorelick ordered Mr. Freeh and Ms. White to follow information-sharing procedures
that ‘go beyond what is legally required,’ in order to avoid ‘any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance’
that the Justice Department was using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, instead of ordinary criminal investigative procedures, in an effort to undermine the civil liberties of terrorism suspects.”
Could 9/11 Have Been Prevented? The Gorelick Memo and What We Knew

Year 2001: September 11 Terrorist Attacks
The 9/11 terrorist attacks were the events that helped shape other financial events of the decade. After that terrible day in September 2001, our economic climate was never to be the same again. It was only the third time in history that the New York Stock Exchange was shut down for a period of time. In this case, it was closed from September 10 - 17. Besides the tragic human loss of that day, the economic loss cannot even be estimated. Some estimate that there was over $60 billion in insurance losses alone. Airlines didn't fly for 3 days!
Approximately 18,000 small businesses were either displaced or destroyed in Lower Manhattan after the Twin Towers fell. There was a buildup in homeland security on all levels. 9/11 caused a catastrophic financial loss for the U.S.

Anthrax Attacks...
The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two DemocraticU.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

As for all you Bush BASHERS!!! Consider Obama has had NOTHING of the magnitude as the above events that occurred during Bush's terms.
NOTHING has occurred and in spite of NOTHING, Obama's got the worst economic growth!
But what would you expect from a totally ignorant president who has told people specifically:

Pretty simple to prove Obama is the worst!
NOT ONE president has ever ever degraded the military by telling the insurgents that the military has "air-raiding villages, killing civilians"!
NOT ONE president ever said he wanted to bankrupt 1,400 companies, that pay $100 billion a year in taxes and unemploy 450,000 people that work for these companies!
NOT ONE president ever said "" if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.”
NOT ONE president has ever wanted "I prefer higher gas prices".
NOT ONE president has ever said he wanted "told Brazil to develop oil and that the USA will be their best customer"!
NOT ONE president has ever said "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."
NOT ONE president has ever told us before he became president he would use tricks, tactics, i.e. LIE!

Don't bother. The OP is using garbage think tank statistics that have been roundly debunked. Obama turned around the largest economic crisis of our lifetime and has had more sustained job growth than Reagan, whose combination of low taxes and high spending left the USA with near permanent structural deficits.

Reagan said he was going to reduce the size of government, yet he tripled Carter's debt and added more workers to the federal role than Obama and Clinton combined. And with his war on drugs he created one of the most wasteful and incompetent federal bureaucracies in history.

The OP is a cut and paste hack. Even his own presidential nominee, Trump, admits that Bush destroyed Iraq and the economy. If Obama lost both the housing and financial sectors a la Bush, the GOP would have used it to win every election for decades...

And of course OBAMA helped personally get some of those 4,500 killed when he encouraged the bad guys by calling our military civilian killers!
Just as these other idiots didn't seem to comprehend which goes way over your head I 'm sure ... YOU CAN"T CHEER for the bad guys while calling Americans the
bad guys!!!

Senator Obama(D) .."troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians,"
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D) "War is lost",
U.S. Rep. Murtha(D) "Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,”
Senator Kerry(D) "American soldiers going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children."

Now I'm going to prove that the above statements were more of a recruiting tool of terrorists because these comments have been shown to increase violence!
This Harvard showed : THE "EMBOLDENMENT EFFECT" asked:

"Are insurgents in Iraq emboldened by voices in the news media expressing dissent or calling for troop withdrawals from Iraq?

The short answer is YES!!!
According to Radha Iyengar, a Robert Wood Johnson Scholar in health policy research at Harvard and Jonathan Monten of the Belfer Center
at the university's Kennedy School of Government.

STUDY ABSTRACT
Are insurgents affected by information on US casualty sensitivity? Using data on attacks and variation in access to international news across
Iraqi provinces, we identify an “emboldenment” effect by comparing the rate of insurgent attacks in areas with higher and lower access to
information about U.S news after public statements critical of the war.
We find in periods after a spike in war-critical statements, insurgent attacks increases by 5-10 percent.
The results suggest that insurgent groups respond rationally to expected probability of US withdrawal.

NOW do you understand why there is not any attempt to smear Obama when he seems to do a good job himself!
Why would ANY president want any American business to go bankrupt or make America depend on foreign oil?
Why would ANY idiot let alone a president prefer "HIGHER GAS PRICES"!!!!
And then make sure it happens sign 40% fewer Federal oil leases then Bush?

NOT ONE president has ever said he wanted "told Brazil to develop oil and that the USA will be their best customer"!
NOT ONE president has ever said "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."

NOW do you understand why there is not any attempt to smear Obama when he seems to do a good job himself!
Why would ANY president want any American business to go bankrupt or make America depend on foreign oil?
Why would ANY idiot let alone a president prefer "HIGHER GAS PRICES"!!!!
And then make sure it happens sign 40% fewer Federal oil leases then Bush?

You must know lefties get all their news/information from left wing sources. So, naturally they think Obama is great. Negative news might be reported by their news sources, but no criticism of Dear Leader is allowed.

If he were an R, this forum would be overrun with lefties bitching up a storm.

The U.S. economy is not in a vacume . The world is in recession . The modest GDP gains in the us makes us one of the best economies in the world. It's an Obama success story .

Cons like to cherry pick bizzar stats to smear obama because the standard economic stats we always use are actually good .

And how do IDIOTS like you misspell a word like "bizarre" when I keep trying to duplicate your idiot spelling of "bizzar" it continues to show how
dumb you are if you can't even pay attention to a simple little red dotted line! .......
This is NOT a "bizarre" statistic. It comes from the government! http://www.bea.gov/national/pdf/nipaguid.pdf
Obama "smears" himself when he clearly states these destructive comments about our economy!
NOT ONE president ever said he wanted to bankrupt 1,400 companies, that pay $100 billion a year in taxes and layoff 450,000 people that work for these companies!
NOT ONE president ever said "" if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.”

Ok spelling police ! I knew it was wrong but it was pissing me off trying to fix it . Settle down Beavis .

Another tactic by the right . Cherry pick snippet quotes . Never posting g things in context .

Here's the coal thing :

Obama made clear in the interview that he was not suggesting an end to coal use. Too much of the country already uses it in existing power plants and factories. In a portion of the interview his critics failed to note, he said:

"This notion of no coal, I think, is an illusion, because the fact of the matter is that right now, we are getting a lot of our energy from coal, and China is building a coal-fired plant once a week. So what we have to do then is we have to figure out how can we use coal without emitting greenhouse gases and carbon. And how can we sequester that carbon and capture it? If we can't, then we're going to still be working on alternatives."

But Obama also made clear that he wanted to transition away from building new coal-fired plants, saying that the price on emissions for building one -- using old technology -- would be prohibitive under his plan.

It's not spelling police. It's plain laziness! I use the internet if I don't know how to spell a word that I can see by the
little red dotted line like this... can you see it??? .............!
It is this laziness of idiots like you that has caused us the idiot in the Presidency today.
IDIOTS like you NEVER took the time to read his autobiography where HE told idiots like you he was going to FOOL you dummies!

Then why being known as the "smartest" as Historian Michael Beschloss said : "Uh. I would say it’s probably – he’s probably the smartest guy ever to become President." Would this economic illiterate make the statement:
"if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.”
That is so stupid to tell people that he wants companies to go bankrupt!
You don't say stupid things like that especially the "smartest" president.
He is telling people that he will price them out of business. Rather then figure out a way to keep them in business.... let them go bankrupt!

Obama is so awesome the people took both the House and Senate away from him in epic blowout Democratic party losses. Democrats lost 1,200 seats nationally, that's how awesome Obama has been.

No, that's how disgusted the mindless GOP can make people about politics. Except the Fox/Rushetcbots.
