President Barack Obama would have us believe the increase in the gross domestic product indicator is his miracle and the recession is ending.
The GDP is the sum of consumer consumption, investments and government spending. It doesn't take a fifth-grader to figure out that the $3 trillion Obama and Congress have spent since January is the reason the GDP went up.

Wake up, America: Washington is still using the smoke and mirrors, and we have to change the horses.
