Obama welcomes US economic growth

President Barack Obama has welcomed the news that the US economy returned to growth between July and September.

Official figures showed the economy grew by 3.5% during the quarter, its first expansion in more than a year.

The growth was helped by a substantial government spending plan, including a scrappage scheme to boost car sales.

While Mr Obama called it "welcome news", he said the US was still a "long way" from recovering from the "deepest downturn since the Great Depression".

The return to growth of the world's largest economy also sent shares on Wall Street sharply higher. The main Dow Jones index closed up 200 points, or 2.1%, at 9,962.58.

Mr Obama said the figures were "an affirmation that this recession is abating and [showed] the steps we've taken have made a difference, but I also know that we've got a long way to go to fully restore our economy."

He said there were other benchmarks for measuring economic progress, such as "whether we are creating jobs, whether families are able to pay their bills and whether businesses are hiring and doing well".

Compared with the previous three months, the US economy grew by 0.9%. In the same period, and on the same measure, the UK economy unexpectedly stayed in recession after it shrank by 0.4%.

President Bush did the right thing at the time!!!

Bush was correct going in. But he dithered, and the war was lost.

Time for us to bring our troops home. Make it clear to Pakistan and Afganistan that if they promote OR allow terrorism, and we are attacked, we will use theater nukes to destroy their population centers.

The only way to fight this is to be merciless. The idea of winning the 'hearts and minds' is a quaint idea, but doesn't work. Vietnam was proof.

That's the dumbest thing you have ever said. When and where my husband touches me is none of your business. The war criminals are bush and dick. Not contempt for the soldiers.

Has anyone else besides me noticed that not one of the Obama Marxist supporters on this thread made one comment about the top ten surrounding this president or even tried to defend them?
This is exactly why this country is teetering on total collapse. How can anyone not read the resumes of our president's top ten advisors and still act like we haven't become a different country? The fact that no one seems to care on the other side is, perhaps, the sole reason why this has happened and why it is happening and why it is going to get worse - much, much worse.

Maybe they're all space aliens!! I know Glenn Beck is!!

Rick, are you really trying to claim the offering of a government health insurance option is the same as the government taking over health care?

Rick finds facts inconvienent. He prefers right wing propaganda.

As you said, he's a funny guy. Not haha funny, either.

Yeah, if those Jersey lefties had any real initiative, they'd have driven south to Florida and shot Rush's house instead.

He wouldn't have minded though, the NRA was his decorator.

(To the Tune of Hard Day's Night)

It’s been a hard day’s night
And we’ve been working like a dog
Obama won’t think twice
He’s gonna tax us till we’re gone.

But why on earth does he mess
And make this country a wreck?
You know he feels alright.

When he’s home, everything seems to be wrong…yeah
When he’s home, making his speeches too long…yeah!

It’s been a hard day’s night
And he’s got Oprah on the phone
But it’s worth it just to hear her say
She’ll give him Hollywood, her home

So why on earth should he care if
There aren’t jobs anywhere
You know it feels alright.
You know it feels alright.

Nuking people is messy and may not work as it did in 1945.

Using the US Army, led by Eisenhower and MacArthur, to gun down and rout the WWI veterans Bonus Army protesters.

For someone who knows so little about American history, you sure make a lot of ignorant claims.

Ayn, with all due respect it appears you are confusing the Mormons with the Scientologists.

>>>>>1 - God was once a man who lived on another planet
This is the most important teaching of Mormonism. Nothing else comes close to it. We believe that God was once a mortal man on another planet who progressed by living in obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel he had on his world, then he died. He became a resurrected man and evolved to become a god. He is still married now (some early leaders say he is a polygamist) and created this world. We worship only the one true god, which is really one god among millions or billions or more. We believe that we will follow in God's footsteps by becoming perfect and we too will become Gods and Goddesses creating spirit children and peopling other worlds. The Mormon TV commercials showing family togetherness is the foundation for life in the next world - as a family - as gods.
Reference: Journal of Discourses Vol. 6 Page 4, 1844. Joseph Smith speaking:
"...you have to learn to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done before you,- namely, by going from one small degree to another..."

Reference: Journal of Discourses Vol. 6 Page 275, 1852. Brighan Young speaking:
"After men have got their exaltations and their crowns - have become Gods..." <<<<<

Maybe L Ron Hubbard got his ideas from the Mormons.

I disagree.

Bush didn't dither, he didn't know what he was doing and neither did his team. Every serious analysis I've read to date faults the strategies in place under Bush for our errors in the region.

And your reaction is unnecessarily extreme and premature.

Better to let those on the ground over there, in theater, to come up with the different strategies needed to turn these conflicts around.

For a change.
