Obama: 2013 can be year of economic growth
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says 2013 can be a year of solid economic growth, but only if Washington gets out of the way.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says there are signs of progress in real estate, manufacturing and job-creation.
But other signs are worrying. Unemployment ticked up from 7.8 percent in December to 7.9 percent in January. And the Commerce Department says the economy shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the final months of 2012.
Obama says the U.S. must lower health care costs and close tax loopholes for corporations and the wealthy.
In the Republican address, Rep. Susan Brooks of Indiana says Democrats must get serious about the nation's spending problems. She's calling on Senate Democrats to pass a budget.

Obamanomics........ economic growth so slow....... it actually contracted in December. But look on the bright side, economists forcast economic growth in 2013 could be as high as 1% annual growth....Whoo Hoo, 8% UE and a flat economy are the new norm.
Â
'Obozo: 2013 can be year of economic growth' For what country? China maybe? Europe? Sure won't be the United States. The economy is sputtering now because of the beginning effects of obozocare, and come January 1, 2014, any economic growth that occurred in 2013 will stop.
So could have 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 if we would have had decent leadership. Â After four years of bad, what is his idea of good? Â Scary isn't it?
"Can be........"
marginally at best. With the economic policies of this administration its a c.r.a.p. shoot !
