If you believe the Obama administration, the Hillary Clinton campaign and their apparatchiks in the press — and as we've learned during the past several weeks, all three work assiduously to sing from the same hymnal — the economy we've seen during the presidency of Barack Obama has been one of slow but still acceptable recovery and (yes, this word has been frequently used) "durable" expansion.
Now that the final key pre-election economic reports have been released and predictably spun, it's time for a final word, and it is this: Incredible as it may seem, on one key economic growth metric, the economy during the Obama administration will, by the time it leaves office, end up turning in a worse performance than was seen during the Great Depression. That's not acceptable in any sense.
