Last quarter, economic growth came in at 5.7%. This week the latest quarter’s number came in and growth was just 3.2%.
The President’s response?
“The economy that was losing jobs a year ago is creating jobs today. After the single biggest economic crisis in our lifetimes, we’re heading in the right direction. We’re moving forward. Our economy is stronger — that economic heartbeat is growing stronger. But I measure progress by a different pulse.”
The economy slows down and the President says we’re making progress. Iran continues making nuclear weapons and insulting the United States and Obama says we’re making progress. The deficit continues to skyrocket and Obama says we’re making progress.
This, apparently, is what being a progressive is all about.

yeap, we're progressing to Rock Bottom
Of course he measures Progress by a different pulse. The more he can take out of people's wallets without being impeached he is making progress. The more freedoms he takes away from people without opposition is progress. So, so far he is making progress.
