If today's report of GDP holds up in the final estimate of 2Q2014 GDP about a month from now, Obama will have racked up just three quarters in his entire presidency with prints in the fours:
4Q2011 4.6%
3Q2013 4.5%
2Q2014 4.2%.
Here's Obama's full record incorporating the latest annual revisions from bea.gov at the end of July and the annual revisions from the summer of 2013:
2009: -5.4, -0.4, 1.3, 3.9
2010: 1.6, 3.9, 2.8, 2.5
2011: -1.5, 2.9, 0.8, 4.6
2012: 2.3, 1.6, 2.5, 0.1
2013: 2.7, 1.8, 4.5, 3.5
2014: -2.1, 4.2.
Average report after 22 quarters: 1.7%.
Pathetic!
