The American economy is recovering, and recovering fast. Productivity, home ownership, across-the-board income levels, retail sales and consumer spending are all rising rapidly. The foundation of our economy, the American stock market, has recovered nearly $3 trillion in lost wealth.

Cheerleading is not a sport. At least not at GW, where it falls under the classification of a student activity.
