Uh huh. It's sooooooooo bad right now. Uh, wait a second. Even the leftist Al Reuters noted two key words, "Economic growth". Oh the horror! I blame Bush!

"Not so bad" doesn't equal "robust". Also "weakest growth in five years", is pretty meaningless. Every five year period has a year when the growth is weakest in 5 years. Also notice its still growth, not recession.

BTW, I just finished a 14,000 trip. Someone forgot to tell most of the country about global warming as almost everywhere I went the temps were well below normal from Pittsburgh to the West Coast & from there to Austin & all the way back to Pittsburgh. And even though the weather was absolutely horrible & many of the places I went were deep in the off season, these tourist sites were unbelievably busy with folks spending oodles of $$$ at hotels, restaurants, malls & tourist shops, etc. I blame Bush!
