Obama Job Recovery, What Recovery … Q2 GDP Growth Revised Down to 1.6%

The GDP for the 2nd quarter of 2010 has been revised down to 1.6%, maybe VP Joe Biden would like to make a fool out of himself again and praise the Obama economic recovery and tell us again that the economy is headed in the right direction. Weatherize these GDP numbers Joe! The weak GDP growth is just thje latest in a long line of poor economic numbers that show exactly what most Americans agree on, Obama is a disaster on the economy.

Economic growth slowed more sharply than initially thought in the second quarter, held back by the largest increase in imports in 26 years, a government report showed on Friday.

Gross domestic product expanded at a 1.6 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said, instead of the 2.4 percent pace it had estimated last month.

However, the reading was a touch better than market expectations. Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast GDP, which measures total goods and services output within U.S. borders, revised down to a 1.4 percent growth rate. The economy grew at a 3.7 percent pace in the first three months of the year.

When Obama asked for comments of the revised GDP number, he was heard to say, “I can’t talk now, I am buying shrimp.”

As Hot Air states, it is going to be difficult for Obama and his minions to spin the idea that the economy is headed in the right direction. The GDP in Q4 of 2009 was 5.7%,  GDP in 2010 Q1 was 3.7% and GDP for 2010Q2 was 1.7%. You follow the downward trend, think the economy is headed in the right direction America?

AP reports that the predictions for Q3 of 2010 will not be much better …

Republicans Now Trusted on All Key Political Issues Over Democrats

Heading into the 2010 midterm elections, American voters trust Republicans on top 10 key issues.

Ever wonder why Democrats are now fearful that the House has already bee lost? Maybe it’s because the American voters now trust Republicans over Democrats on all key political issues. On issues like the economy, immigration, health care, social security, taxes and national security the GOP is trusted more. In the wake of the Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters ethics scandals, Republicans are now even trusted more than Democrats on the issue of ethics as well.

Issues:  Education  40% (D) -  41% (R),  Health Care 40% (D) –  48% (R) , Iraq war  40% (D) -  43% (R), Economy 39% (D) - 47% (R),  Social Security (D) 38% – 44% (R), Government Ethics 38% (D) – 40% (R),  National Security 37% (D) – 49% (R),  Afghanistan war 36% (D) – 43% (R), Taxes  36% (D) - 52% (R) and Immigration 35% (D) - 44% (R ).

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on all 10 of the important issues regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports.

The GOP has consistently been trusted on most issues for months now, but in July they held the lead on only nine of the key issues. 

Republicans lead Democrats 47% to 39% on the economy, which remains the most important issue to voters. Those numbers are nearly identical to those found in June. Republicans have held the advantage on the economy since May of last year.

More grim news for Democrats to run on in 2010, Barack Hussein Obama has a -17 Presidental Index rating. And the economy keeps getting worse, not better.
