The gybster has, yet again, cherry-picked information to attack Obama, without suggesting either one of his own brilliant ideas, or one that his party will propose and have the political skill to implement. It is ironic that he would cite the BEA--so I will give you the lead off their web site:
Quote: | Quarterly data: Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States -- decreased at an annual rate of 2.9 percent in the first quarter of 2014 according to the "third" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter of 2013, real GDP increased 2.6 percent. |
I would like to remind those from little state's who depend disproportionately on defense revenues--and all the sleazy politics that entails--that California's GDP remains the strongest in the Country, well above Texas and New York. And while the international recovery has been sluggish, the US economy is only eclipsed by that of all the European Union. http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Economy/GDP
The party of no has a persistent but unhelpful poster here. If you want to see how he selectively cut a quarter out of a trend going back to 2012, look here:
http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/industry/gdpindustry/gdpind_glance.htm
How do you know that mrgybe is misrepresenting the facts? He's typing. |

He actually ran for Senator in CT. A hypester of biblical proportions...I ve followed him for over ten years, and met him out here when he was recruiting for his firm, which is barely breathing. |

That's far scarier -- and apparently much more threatening -- than AGW itself. He has surrounded himself with sycophants carefully chosen expressly because they think like he does, labeled them as czars and department heads to give them credibility in the minds of the gullible, and then informs us that "My expert advisers have persuaded me that ...".
I don't think he even understands that this entire form of government is one big circular argument. For the dumb masses (who must say that out loud to understand it), here's how that works:
Pres: "Do you think like me?"
Czar/dept head prospect: "Yes."
Pres: "Then you're hired. Now ... what do you think about ...?"
Pres, later, robotically converting teleprompter text into human speech, "MY FELLOW AMERICANS; My esteemed advisers tell me .... I don't need no steenkin' legislation, as I will issue a very expensive edict tomorrow that you must obey at any cost. If you prefer to keep your old plan -- exhaling CO2 -- you may ... for now ... Period ... until I decree otherwise. Remember … it’s for the little children … who will pay very dearly for it for their entire lives. BWAHAHAHAHA. "

Mike will be the last holdout, with water lapping at his chin. But he claims to be a scientist. We all know he's just crazy. |

The sad--and amusing--thing is that Mikey doesn't really care one way or the other. If Obama opposed all initiatives to solve global warming, then Mikey would be all over it and screaming that the tide was rising but Obama didn't care. He'd blame Obama, again.
It's just one of Mikey's 1001 chapters on O-hate.

Oh, boy, will coincidences never end? The administration is having SUCH a run of bad luck! Now the EPA lost the emails congress has demanded from IT. Seems the hard drives of the involved parties crashed.
Of COURSE they didn't report it, as required by federal law.
Yeah, we know, mac ... I'm a racist. |

So the facts he cited regarding the impact on GDP of severe winters are wrong? |
