In February 2011 (Fake News) Time Magazine Implied that Obama was like Reagan. This couldn’t have been further from the truth, especially when considering economic growth. Ronald Reagan brought forth an annual real GDP growth of 3.5% . Barack Obama will be lucky to average an annual 1.50% GDP growth rate during his two terms in office.

The rate of real economic growth is the single greatest determinant of both America’s strength as a nation and the well-being of the American people.
