A strong recession, a tepid growth

Responding to the following WSJ article: http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2012/07/27/current-recovery-second-slowest-postwar-rebound/

In 2009, Stimulus package was passed, giving confidence to the economy. In 2010, the economy got spooked by all those Republican takeover talk. In 2011, there was additional confidence at the outset because of the deal made in after the 2011 elections (Democrats were still in charge then by the way). And in 2012, the spooky election talk is keeping the economy back. Republicans seem intent on doing whatever they can to hold the country back, if the result will help them win election (the records point to that). How nice will it be when President Obama is re-elected and Republicans no longer have an overriding motive to defeat him! Oh wait, they would still like to tarnish his place in history .... Country first indeed.

Obama : The Country We Believe In

A speech by The President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, on April 13, 2011 at Goerge Washington University... Good afternoon.  It’s great to be back at GW.  I want you to know that one of the reasons I kept the government open was so I could be here today with all of you.  I wanted to make sure you had one more excuse to skip class.  You’re welcome.
