In April-June 2010 period US Growth Domestic Product (GDP) grew only at 1.6% compared to last month initial estimate of 2.4 percent. But it is slightly better because analysts were expecting only 1.4%.
But it is clear that US economy has lost the momentum in recovery as in the first quarter of 2010 (Jan-Mar) GDP growth was 3.7 percent.
In the past four successive quarters US economy posted positive gains but the trend is weakening now.
The recovery from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression was mainly fueled by the $862 billion government stimulus package.
Now this slow economic growth is a major political challenge for Obama administration as it is election time again.
