1st Quarter 2011 GDP Growth (third estimate) was 1.9 Percent.

We are dancing around the edge of The Double Dip Recession Cliff.

martin j smith| 7.9.11 @ 8:12AM

The ideaof "recovery " pure bunk and always has been in the case of Obama. No sir, there has never been a recovery. But, you have pundits on the MSM --even Fox and pundits in the press-even WSJ that want us to believe there has been one. Why there is no recovery ? Unemployment, inflation,fuel problems,housing problems, excessive government regulation to name just a few issues. WHEN WILL THERE BE HONEST ? And STOP THE COWARDICE; Tell the truth--Obama's policies are meant to fail our economy and destroy our nation--that is our "recovery". You do not need a graph to figure this out--ITS ALL OUT THERE.

Oldefarte| 7.9.11 @ 11:34AM

Of course there is no recovery, and there never will be same until the American voters/taxpayers WAKE UP and vote these socialists political leaders out of office in november of next year!!!!!!!!!!

Oldefarte| 7.10.11 @ 10:03AM

Hey DUDES & DUDETTES, I guess we all know now what is truly meant by """"""HOPE&CHANGE;''''''', right?????????

Occam's Tool| 7.10.11 @ 3:08PM

Take a look at MSN's front page today, July 10th. MSN has just noted that Black America's financial gains over the past few decades have been wiped away by Mr. Hope and Change. MSN!

Of course, it's just another situation of the Black guy being screwed over by (half) Whitey.

MikeBee| 7.11.11 @ 8:51AM

Hey, Razor!

This is just another example of Democrats screwing blacks. Whenever possible, since the 1850s, Democrats try to keep blacks down, whether it's abortion mills predominantly in black communities, or Jim Crow laws, or masterminding a Depression which will hurt blacks more than anyone else.

Glein| 7.9.11 @ 2:25PM

And Republicans will sell us all out and go along with Obama and the Democrats. They then will wonder how they loose the House and never regain the Senate or Presidency. They will also wonder why the TEA Party tell them to stick it in their ear. Looks like the Republicans are going the way of the Whigs! History will run them over and they won't know what hit them.

Dixie Pixie| 7.9.11 @ 5:24PM

Gentlemen....I will say it again.
Depression Era economic policies produce Depression Era results.
This is not a recession or a double dip downturn but a full 2nd Great Depression.

What Obama is doing today is what FDR did in the 1930's.
Both used Keynesian and Leftist policies to steal from the private sector and give the loot to the Democrats for their political support.
That is why Obama has above 85% Democrat Party support and we get a 2nd Great Depression.

Obama's only hope in the next election is to continue a Pollyanna propaganda campaign to convince the public that the economic conditions are not as bad as they are and try to fool the public into believing Obama is fighting those economic forces not causing them.

axbucxdu| 7.10.11 @ 12:44AM

So let's not waste the historic opportunity presented before us. Progressive "ideas" have now been demonstrated to be without doubt, uneconomic. Any person with sense could understand this before their hallowed castles in the air came crashing to the ground, but now even the lumpen can recognize the progs' stupidity and utter corruption. All hands on deck to keep that fact out in the open because these imbeciles never tire of lying.

Dixie Pixie| 7.10.11 @ 1:23AM

Greetings Axbucxdu.
Not to be unduly pessimistic, but what Republican candidate has shown any attempt to take Obama head on?
Unless the Republican candidates are willing to pin the economic “tail” on Obama donkey then our cause is lost.

Trump does not count as he was never an Republican anything.

axbucxdu| 7.10.11 @ 10:32AM

And greetings to you Pixie. The "us" in my post did not imply any Republican reference, but to "us" as citizens of this republic. The prog must called out, and wherever we find it, publicly and thoroughly humiliated, so that these ideas never see the light of day in this country again. Imagine, the U.S.A. as the last bastion of marxism. What do they call it? Irony.

Dixie Pixie| 7.10.11 @ 4:59PM

I like it Axbucxdu
A sub-rosa whispering campaign to link Obama to his economic policies would fly under the MSM radar.
It would also hit like an October Surprise bomb as the MSM could not defend Obama against it!

Now all we need is a cute catch phrase to nail the link between Obama and the 2nd Great Depression.
Any ideas anyone?

bluecollarbytes| 7.10.11 @ 9:28AM

Let's not forget the racial component. Obama&Co; will be stoking the 'racial divide' for all its worth, proving he can pimp with the best.

Obama will fall back on the one thing he knows- divisive organizing of the malcontents.

Mimi| 7.9.11 @ 8:57PM

Oh Dixie..as ever, you are so right !! But hopefully we will avoid a WORLD WAR and praise be he wont get 4 terms like FDR !!

Dixie Pixie| 7.10.11 @ 1:04AM

Thanks Mimi for your kind words.
As always, I enjoy your comments.

Unfortunately WW4 has already broken out.
Islam vs everybody for control of the entire planet Earth has already started.

The Saudi Wahhabi Anschluss through the “Muslim Spring” is now occurring with the help of Obama.
Once the Saudi Wahhabi has consolidated their political position in the Muslim world then Saudi Arabia will attack Iran just as Germany attacked the USSR during the Barbarossa Campaign.
The results will be similar as it was back in the 1940's.
It will take the next 70 years to clean up the mess Obama is creating in the Muslim world!

Occam's Tool| 7.10.11 @ 3:09PM

Dear Dixie,

Correct! That's why Allen West kicks the crap out of Ron Paul and Son.

Dixie Pixie| 7.10.11 @ 4:38PM

Greetings Occam's Tool.

I really do not know that as I do not follow the World Wrestling Federation's Republican Division.
I will leave that to the professionals.

Dixie Pixie| 7.10.11 @ 6:57PM

Play nice with the other posters Clint.
Other wise we may take your Thesaurus away as you are just stringing words together.

Clint....wit and humor works better than insults and is a lot more fun to read.
So be nice and keep it light.

Clint| 7.11.11 @ 8:24AM

I'll take it under advisement,when I see you tell it to The Head Case Tool Job.

Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 7.10.11 @ 7:20AM

Companies that are well run and have moved significant operations overseas are making tons of money.

There's a lesson there but the political class will never see it until circumstances bring them to their knees.

Their central economic and social engineering plans have all failed and miserably.

The economy won't improve until several federal agencies are shut down and a whole new mind set arrives in Washington.

Since people are rewarded for going along in Washington that may take some time.

Welcome to austerity America!

martin j smith| 7.10.11 @ 7:48AM

As I say--what recovery ?
This so called Debt Ceiling talk in the WH will tell us a lot --at least I mean the results. Here is my take on the thing: Nothing much will be achieved at the meeting--there will an agreement to disagree and then the PR and propaganda war will be underway full throttle on who is to blame.
As for me, I think there has been direct attacks on Obama by a number of people some I like ( Bachman , Pawlenty ? ) and some I do not like ( Romney ) but in the end it will depen on the candidate who gets reeeeeeeeeeaally close to Obama's face ( figuratively speaking ) that will determine who will be the nominee and the possible winner of the 2012 election.

Oldefarte| 7.10.11 @ 1:57PM

Newt just called this a OBAMA DEPRESSION. Note the use of the word DEPRESSION instead of RECESSION. As he claimed, he didn't cause it, but he sure as Hades inflamed it and cuased it to get worse, not better. His propaganda machine in the WH are spinning that very few people are concerned with the econ0my and unemployment [and that these bad economic conditions could last quite some time, which is true in that same will last if/until the taxpayer-voters get their heads out of their rears and remove them from political office in November of next year]!!!!!!!!!

Dixie Pixie| 7.10.11 @ 4:25PM

Welcome aboard distinguished elder and master craftsman of greenhouse gases.

As the above graph clearly shows, Obama caused the 2nd Great Depression.
It was Obama's policies that caused the unemployment rate to turn upward and stay there.
The delta vee clearly changed when Obama took office and started to implement his policies.

You don't need to take Newt's word for it.
You can see it as you drive through town.
