Earlier this year, WH predicted 3% growth for 2012. With 1H up less than 2%, tough to hit that mark

@ThePlumLineGS Is 1.5% growth due to Obama's plan to fix a "crisis"? He said the other day his plan worked. Sounds like a future Romney ad.

Obama: "Our plan worked" Reality: 1.5% growth. What the HELL was the plan?

US economy GDP rate is at 1.5%. I imagine lefties somewhere discussing how Mitt's Swiss bank account is to blame for that

If Romney discloses his tax returns, we can immediately expect a 0.5% GDP bump.

I love how Romney gets trashed for something he said about Olympics, while we are sitting at 15% U6 and 1.5% growth and that seems alright?

So the economy grew at an anemic 1.5%, but all of Obama's surrogates, aka media, want to talk about is Romney s "gaffe". #priorities

US 2Q GDP comes out at an anaemic 1.5%. But don't worry, liberals. Mitt Romney has a horse.

Hey @markos! Remember how you said Romney had a disastrous day yesterday? What do you call 1.5% Q2 growth for Obama? #tcot #p2

I suggest everyone stops worrying about Romney's manners and starts worrying about these new American economic figures. #DeflatingDollar
