Do we really have to revisit FDR's (another progressive) Pearl Harbor Lie that got the US into WW2 with the loss of over 400,000 US military?
As to your "8%" figure, I don't recall the prediction that we would see over 10% when we reached 8% the first time.
Is the 8% the "new" Bush's 4.3%?
Considering that the 8% figure is only acheived when you don't count the other 7% (or more) , once again, with access to a printing press, you can create any reality you want... but just for so long until the whole scheme comes crashing down.
Don't worry... we're already onto the fact that millions of jobs will have to be created under Romney just to get the numbers back in line with Soetoro's lies.
