A few facts:

1.   The 4th qtr 2012 GDP was up a disappointing 0.4%...but that was an upward revision from the original estimated DECLINE of 0.1% and the poor performance is being largely blamed on Hurricane Sandy, concerns over the Fiscal Cliff and reduced military expenditures.

2.   The 3d qtr 2012 GDP was revised upward from 2.7% to 3.1%

3.   The 4th qtr 2008 DECLINE in GDP was 6.9%

4.    Weekly unemployment insurance claims were up 16,000 but are less than half the numbers of exactly 4 years ago.

5.   If a Republican had been sitting in the oval office for the last 4 years with the identical economic results, MM would be praising the recovery.

Now I breathlessly await for MM to once again revile me for being so willing to accept lowered expectations. The cup is half full and rising, slower than I would like, but it is rising in spite of everything the T party Republicans can do to knock it off the table.

BTW MM, I doubt you will have much luck destroying the legacy of FDR anywhere other than in the narrow minded vicinity of your Lake Martin Utopia. Now, what about Lincoln and TR?
