WASHINGTON - The U.S. economy grew at a 3.5 percent pace in the third quarter, the best showing in two years, fueled by government-supported spending on cars and homes. It's the strongest signal yet that the economy has entered a new, though fragile, phase of recovery and that the worst recession since the 1930s has ended.

"This welcome milestone is just another step, and we still have a long road to travel until the economy is fully recovered," said Christina Romer, President Barack Obama's chief economist. "It will take sustained, robust ... growth to bring the unemployment rate down substantially. Such a decline in unemployment is, of course, what we are all working to achieve."

USA! USA! USA! USA!

Conks cashing in up-and-down with their left hand, giving Obama the finger with the other! Typical Conk doublespeak.

Why would you make a post about a car, and then not post a picture with a car in it?

No worries, Cap'n. Once the Dems finally figure out which convoluted health care proposal they'll back, then BHO can concentrate on bottling his tears to cure cancer. Congrats to the Dems on solving our economic woes.

That includes the "cash for clunkers effect" and other one-off effects of government pump-priming.

The economist quoted on the msnbc blog said, "The consumer, in fact private demand in general, is not ready yet to pick up the growth baton from the government." And if Obamacare and cap-and-tax pass, that baton will stay on the ground, folks.

So thanks loads, Barry.

It's just killing some people that a black man is leading us out of George W Bush's eight-year reign of miserable failure and pitiful incompetence.

As long as I don't have a job, the economy hasn't recovered.

No, what's KILLING people is that dumbasses like you give ANY credit to the PRESIDENT for what happens in the economy.

Perhaps you've heard of this thing called a "business cycle"?

Our nation's (not so) dirty secret.

Hey Cappy...who was responsible for pulling America out of the Jimmy Carter recession? Was that Obama, too?

Hey, Chet, do some research and find out. Wasn't Reagan. Were were in recession for a few more years after he came to office. This Obama shit is virtually immediate!

[Wedgebuster]

Jobs are over-rated in my book.. you just trading your time for someone else's money.. also stands for Just Over Broke!

Go out on your own! It's a buyer's market.

Is this part of the "W" shaped economy that some are predicting?

[ASUG8]

This recession has different metrics - too many variables introduced since the last measure.

Really? Maybe it is because I live in liberal Seattle, but I have yet to hear anyone disparage Barack for being black. All animus I have heard, has been directed at Barack's policy and not his skin color.

I ask, because I am not surrounded by prejudice and am really curious to know if this is happening in your neck of the woods.

Nonsense, Herbert. If McCain were in the White House and drooling in his porridge between whiffs on the oxygen bottle you'd be assuring us that it was his fault we're pulling out of the Bush Recession.

You are safely ensconced in America, whereas I, in southernmost Illinois, am right on the border that separates America from Dumbphuckistan and experience on a daily basis the poisonous vapor of hatred emanating from the nearby red states and wafting across the land.

If we had no president we'd be pulling out of the recession now. Also, your grandkids wouldn't be saddled with a ton of debt right out of the womb, but I digress.
