President Obama quietly downgraded his own evaluation of the U.S. economy last week, issuing an updated budget that showed slower growth than he’d projected just five months ago — a striking acknowledgment of what he called economic “head winds.”

From story linked above

Things that make you go hmmm....
Quote:
In a report issued Friday afternoon, the White House said it expects gross domestic product to grow at a rate of 4.3 percent in 2012 and 2013, or down three-tenths and four-tenths of a point, respectively. The downgrade extended through 2015, signaling a slower-than-expected recovery well into the next president’s term.

What rate would that require in Q3 and Q4, somethig north of a 6? I guess we will get the downgade to the downgrade the second week of November?
