I got news for you...we never came out of recession.
Yes we did. You are not the arbiter on definitions and cannot redefine what a recession is. A recession is a period of economic decline, generally identified by a fall in GDP for two successive quarters.

The government has changed the definition over the years, why can't others?
Conservatives, Liberals, or politicians of any stripe have nothing to do with the price of international oil or domestic gasoline. The international crude price is set by the International Petroleum Cartel at a level that maximizes profit without encouraging alternative energy sources. The price of oil has been far too important to be set at the whims of a Free Market. This has been true since the Standard Oil Cartel was established in the 1800's.
Ok, fess up. Who hasn't been checking their tire air pressure like we were told? We've had 6 years since dear leader proclaimed it to be the key to energy independence (and savings at the pump). Tsk tsk tsk on you all.
Who says Obama hates the oil companies? They have feasted under his reign!
