White House Games Can't Hide Obama's Economic Failures
Tweet Share on Facebook August 6, 2012 CommentThe White House deserves some credit for revising downward their short-term economic growth estimates. The problem is that they once again predict a miniboom (boomlet?) generated by, you guessed it, President Barack Obama's policy in a second term. While economic predictions are almost as numerous as economists, the president has proven to be seriously mistaken on matters ranging from the stimulus to Solyndra. Obama has repeatedly promised the American people that his policies and economic agenda would make things better, but they haven't. Remember what Obama had already promised would result from his initial stimulus during an address in 2009?
