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

Just days after President Obama told donors, “We tried our plan, and it worked,” we learn that the GDP grew at a sickly 1.5 percent annual rate between April and June as Americans cut back on spending.
If ever there was a time for a rapid-response ad:

Make it happen, Romney camp!
Obama: "Our plan worked" Reality: 1.5% growth. What the HELL was the plan?

Who built that, President Obama? Did somebody else make that happen?
US economy GDP rate is at 1.5%. I imagine lefties somewhere discussing how Mitt's Swiss bank account is to blame for that

Clearly only one thing can save us from economic catastrophe:

But of course, it’s Mitt Romney who’s having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week.
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?

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

Even Piers Morgan gets it. Piers Morgan!
I suggest everyone stops worrying about Romney's manners and starts worrying about these new American economic figures. #DeflatingDollar

But no worries. The private sector is doin’ fine!
A parting idea for stimulating growth:
Fine I'll drive 40min to my nearest Chick – Fil-A RT @bdomenech 1.5% growth. You stupid consumers, buy something.
