WT: The White House labored Thursday to explain a first-quarter economic report showing the weakest growth in two years, even as President Obama was trumpeting his mastery of the economy in a New York Times Magazine interview.

The Department of Commerce reported that U.S. gross domestic product rose 0.5 percent in the first quarter of 2016, the third straight sluggish start to a year.

    No shit! The NSA came in one day and said their was a meteor closing on the Earth – and I wished – REALLY HARD – that it would miss – and it did!

    And … I’ve actually melted ICE with my heuristically powerful tortellini brain!

    You could look it up!
