New York (CNNMoney.com) - The U.S. economy continued on its path of weak growth in the third quarter, according to the government's latest reading Friday.

Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy, grew at an annual rate of 2% in the three months ending in September. While that's slightly better than 1.7% growth in the previous quarter, it's still considered too weak.

That's still nine-straight months of growth and better than what Obama inherited from Bush.

I mean, the stimulus was giving us a boost and helping to prop up the economy, what happens when that runs dry?

You can be sure no more stimulus and state aid is going to pass in the next congress.
