Jonathon M. Trugman at the New York Post reported this week that the final numbers for the Obama Administration are in and they are abysmal:

On Thursday we closed the book on the Obama economic “miracle” — and it’s a miracle we are not in a recession. Last week the Commerce Department released its third revision for fourth-quarter 2016 gross domestic product. The number came in at a paltry 2.1 percent, meaning that growth during President Obama’s final year in office — the end of an “Error of Hope” — landed with a big thud at just 1.6 percent. That low-water mark puts the Obama presidency in last place among all the post-World War II presidents when it comes to economic growth.

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.

From 1790 to 2000, U.S. RGDP growth averaged 3.79% . America needs at least 3.0% economic growth-the nation cannot defend itself and pay its bills without it. However, America’s elites have largely given up on growth, and are now distracting themselves with academic musings about “secular stagnation.”

By February of 2016 it was clear that Obama had given up on economic growth. Obama’s Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecasted in early 2016 that America will never see 3.0% economic growth again.

As a result of his failed economic policies, Obama now ranks as the fourth worst presidency on record in GDP growth at 1.6% . Only Herbert Hoover (-5.65% ), Andrew Johnson (-0.70% ) and Theodore Roosevelt (1.41% ) currently have lower average annual GDP growth than Barack Obama. In addition, Obama has the lowest annual GDP growth rate of any President since World War II .

Barack Obama is the only U.S. president in history who did not deliver a single year of 3.0% + economic growth.

Here are the average growth rates for each president since World War II:

Johnson (1964-68), 5.3 percent

Kennedy (1961-63), 4.3 percent

Clinton (1993-2000), 3.9 percent

Reagan (1981-88), 3.5 percent

Carter (1977-80), 3.3 percent

Eisenhower (1953-60), 3 percent

Nixon (1969-74), 2.8 percent

Ford (1975-76), 2.6 percent

G.H.W. Bush (1989-92), 2.3 percent

G.W. Bush (2001-08), 2.1 percent

Truman (1946-52), 1.7 percent

Obama (2009-16), 1.6 percent

Obama’s economic policies failed America and resulted in 95 million without work, the debt at an astronomical $20 Trillion and more Americans on Food Stamps than ever before.

Obama left America in a mess!
