re: Meanwhile, 2014 1st Quarter GDP 0.1%

I was discussing this with the wife last night. Although I didn't vote for Clinton, I thought his election campaign slogan when running for president, "It's the Economy, Stupid" was good. He kept the focus on the substantive issue.

Our president seems to have lost focus. Or better, his focus has never been on the economy. All emphasis appears to be on enacting social change. What happened to the 'laser-like' focus on jobs? It's not like he's powerless to help the economy. I remember our economy was absolutely languishing under Jimmah Carter. Reagan came in and turned things around, inspired us, brought people together. He wasn't without fault (who is?), but he was able to energize our economy.
