AP newsroom now imitating Comedy Central, reports bullshit Obama criminal regime numbers as if they were real and without question; tell that to the homeless poor now on the streets, the masses of unemployed, the Seniors, Veterans, the starving children of families who have had their homes foreclosed on by Obama supported criminal banks and bankers – and just in time for the presidential “election” Associated Press 10/26/2012
WASHINGTON —
The U.S. economy expanded at a slightly faster 2 percent annual rate from July through September, buoyed by an uptick in consumer spending and a burst of government spending.
The Commerce Department says growth improved from the 1.3 percent rate in the April-June quarter.
The pickup in growth may help President Barack Obama’s message that the economy is improving. Still, growth remains too weak to rapidly boost hiring. And the 1.74 percent rate for 2012 trails last year’s 1.8 percent growth, a point GOP nominee Mitt Romney will emphasize.
The report is the last snapshot of economic growth before Americans choose a president in 11 days.
Growth was held back by the first drop in exports in more than three years and flat business investment in equipment and software.
