The acceleration in real GDP growth in the second quarter reflected a smaller decrease in private inventory investment, an acceleration in PCE, and an upturn in federal government spending.
Maybe Obama should have 'invested' in higher gov. spending? LOL!
These movements were partly offset by a downturn in residential fixed investment and decelerations in exports and in nonresidential fixed investment.

An excellent New York Times piece today by reporter Binyamin Appelbaum notes that while economist accept slower growth is partly the result of long-term trends, they also think the aftermath of the Great Recession and the Not-So-Great Recovery are playing a role.
Among the former factors, you have (a) the demographically-driven decline in labor force participation and (b) an apparent productivity slowdown starting in the mid-2000s as the pace of technological innovation and diffusion has slowed.
