Meanwhile poor Japan sinks back into recession. And Republicans and Wall Street will never give the president the credit he deserves for some smart decisions.

"The US economy expanded at an annualised rate of 3.5 per cent in the third quarter of 2014, ending years of mediocre domestic growth and shaking off the more recent weakness in other major global economies.

The figure came in well ahead of analysts’ expectations of 3 per cent growth – supporting the US Federal Reserve’s decision to end its third round of quantitative easing on Wednesday."
