You can take that up with the folks at "The Hill".

Yeah, I guess "a bunch of numbers" might be hard for some to follow.

Right, 'cuz we just can't allow information from such "approved" sources as Media Matters or Mother Jones to sneak in here unchallenged.

As usual, you're attempting to be a self-appointed arbiter of appropriate posting content. Have fun with that.

Here's another commentary on the state of the economy from another "wild-eyed, rabid, right wing rag":
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/...969885426.html
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the economy, grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.1% in the first quarter, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That matched the second-weakest quarterly reading of the nearly five-year-old economic recovery.
Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had forecast growth at a 1.1% pace for the quarter.
The latest numbers continue a familiar pattern. The nation's economic recovery, which started in mid-2009, has been marked as much for its choppiness as its slow pace.

I guess the shitty winter was all Obama's fault. They must've been seeding the clouds or some such nonsense...
"THE ECONOMY: The U.S. economy slowed in the first three months of the year as winter storms chilled business activity. The sharp slowdown, while worse than expected, is likely to be temporary as growth rebounds with warmer temperatures. The Commerce Department says growth slowed to a barely discernible 0.1 percent annual rate in the January-March quarter, the weakest since the end of 2012 and down from a 2.6 percent growth rate in the October-December quarter. Economists had forecast growth of 1.1 percent, according to FactSet."
