Good Grief… US GDP Rate Under Obama Lower Than Cuba and Pakistan

How does he do it?

The US GDP rate under Barack Obama is lower than the GDP rates of Cuba and Pakistan.
Frontpage reported, via Free Republic:

The United States is already below 75 percent of the world in GDP growth. That means we’re well below Egypt, Mexico and Albania. Forget beating China, which is No. 10 while we’re No. 166 and falling, we need to start figuring out how to get ahead of our immediate rivals, Bosnia, Jamaica and Cuba.

After a weak 2011 when GDP growth was just 1.8% , this year’s growth rate looks even weaker. Today the Commerce Department revised second-quarter GDP growth to just 1.3% (1.25% , actually). As a result, many banks are now looking for growth of around 1.5% for the rest of the year — with plenty of downside risk. Full year GDP might be less than 1.5% , putting the economy at heightened risk of falling back into recession.

Meanwhile over in Cuba, where their Socialists are slightly more competent than our Socialists…

Cuba’s gross domestic product grew 2.1 percent in the first half of the year compared with the same period in 2011.
