What if They Gave a Recession and Nobody Came?

Bad news for the Democrats on the day of the Obamessiah's Greek Temple speech - there is no recession despite what the Dems may be telling you:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The economy shifted to a higher gear in the spring, growing at its fastest pace in nearly a year as foreign buyers snapped up U.S. exports and tax rebates spurred shoppers at home.

The Commerce Department reported Thursday that gross domestic product, or GDP, increased at a 3.3 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. The revised reading was much better than the government's initial estimate of a 1.9 percent pace and exceeded economists' expectations for a 2.7 percent growth rate.

The rebound comes after two dismal quarters. The economy actually shrank in the final three months of 2007 and limped into the first quarter at a feeble 0.9 percent pace. The 3.3 percent growth in the spring was the best performance since the third quarter of last year, when the economy was chugging along at a brisk 4.8 percent pace.

So, how does Obama counter this? He tells the massive crowd that it still "feels" like a recession, and after all, to Democrats feelings are more important than facts. They'll eat it up.
