Is the economy starting to become Obama’s friend?

We’re seeing some good economic news lately. Does it mean we’ve turned the corner with the economy?  I for one think we need to take the latest indicators with a grain of salt.  The latest economic figures (+325K jobs) are riddled with caveats,  including seasonal employment, end of year accounting adjustments.  Americans are still not spending, maxing credit cards to pay for gas and rent, and Europe remains one hot mess.
