As much as the media has tried to hype the Obama economy as the Obama Boom, the truth is that growth is anemic. The GDP contracted in the 4th quatrer, which is usually a recessionary sign. Unemployment went up and the economy is only adding 150,000-180,000 jobs a month, that is just treading water. Incomes have declined and thanks to Ben Bernanke’s money printing, the standard of living is crumbling. Yet somehow, Americans still love Obama and have accepted an anemic economy.
Nations probably never choose decline, at least not consciously. More likely they become victims of a creeping normalcy. Things once objectionable can become passively acceptable if they happen slowly, incrementally: the boiling-frog syndrome. Decline just sort of happens, year by year, decade by decade, one “meh” economic report at a time.
Last Thursday the U.S. Commerce Department reported that fourth-quarter GDP fell at a 0.1 percent annual rate. For the year, the U.S. economy grew a meager 2.2 percent. That’s a bit better than 2011, but about a percentage point less than what most economists think is the economy’s current potential. Even worse, the first few recovery years after deep downturn typically exhibit abnormally strong catch-up growth. But that’s not happening post–Great Recession. White House spokesman Jay Carney conceded the obvious, that the negative quarterly report was “not good news,” and then blamed congressional Republicans for creating a “headwind” of political uncertainty. The next day the Labor Department reported the unemployment rate ticking up to 7.9 percent in January as the economy added 157,000 net new jobs. At that rate of job creation, with all else equal, the economy wouldn’t return to 4.4 percent unemployment — the George W. Bush administration’s low point — for another eight years. Oh, and that’s assuming no recessions between now and 2021.
It must be terribly inconvenient for the Obama White House to be reminded every quarter and every month that the $800 billion stimulus — and subsequent mini-stimuli — failed to ignite the boom Obama economists repeatedly predicted through the first term.
It is sad that Americans are now accepting anemic growth and a lower standard of living. The Media-Entertainment Industrial Complex has convinced Americans this is the best we can do. Its sad that America which was a dynamic nation has low economic expectations.
Obama has robbed this nation of hope and left us with little change!
Update: Obama is calling to delay Sequestration
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will ask Congress to come up with tens of billions of dollars in short-term spending cuts and tax revenue to put off the automatic across the board cuts that are scheduled to kick in March 1, White House officials said Tuesday.
Obama will make his request afternoon in a public statement at the White House.
The Republicans should hold firm and make Obama present a proposal.

That has been the history of Japan for the last 20 years. Remember when Japan was going to be able to buy America? Those days are done. Japan was done in in part by a huge real estate bubble. America also has been done in largely by a huge (government created) real estate bubble. I used to believe that real estate was property, and that you couldn’t lose everything when you owned property. Well, my experience in the real estate bubble taught me that you could lose your shirt dealing in rel estate, and I was no major player. My story isn’t a whole lot different than that of the average American. The Community Reinvestment Act is the most disasterous economic policy that the United States has ever followed. And I reckon it is still on the books. They are still trying to push home ownership to the masses, when the underlying economy will simply not support it.

You’re crazy. Have you seen the state of Zimbabwe’s economy? That is what happens when you go crazy printing money. The only reason inflation isn’t worse than it is is that the unemployment rate is so high. There’s too much liquidity in the system, but it is tied up in companies that won’t spend due to regulations and uncertainty, so there isn’t as much demand. Given the demand, prices would simply skyrocket. Bernanke is printing an economic time bomb. When it goes off, it will finish destroying the economy.
The vote base has not gone away.
Some voters are sort of loose reining the commie Democrats knowing they will keep heading for the cliffs and for sure will self-destroy themselves.

Romney left a lot of ammo unspent, didn’t he? What was he conserving it for? I kept expecting the wave of ads that would bury Obama, and it never came. There was so much to run against. Romney’s strategy was by fools. They thought if they made Romney a credible alternative, the masses would come. Instead, they managed to make people say “Obama’s not so bad he doesn’t deserve a second chance”. Not a winning strategy. They should have buried Obama. They had the campaign funds to run the commercials necessary for such a push.

Another solution is to pay off the bankers like the one from Bank of Oklahoma (one of the largest doners to Obama and the Democrats) then all the rich bankers will send the RNC re-election money rather than the commie Democrats. Sort of a John Corzine method of theft.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Perry should have strolled out, nice and easy, in a cowboy shirt and jeans, and looked just as relaxed as if he were sittin’ on the cracker barrel at the general store. He’d have blown the lot of them away—instead, he beat himself.
Romney did the same thing. He hired hisself a whole buncha them consultant fellers, ‘cuz he could afford more than Perry, an’ they tole him that he should be Obama in whiteface with a nice big passbook and some US Savings bonds. That worked on Obama just about as well as Perry trying to be Romney worked on Romney.
