Warren Buffett lets the cat out of the bag

After basking briefly in the report from the guys who make the official declarations about whether we are in a recession or not, we see our hopes dashed by a man who should know what is what. According to the Oracle of Omaha we are still in a recession.
I think we're in a recession until real per capita GDP gets back to where it was-- before. That is not the way the National Bureau of Economic Research measures it. But I will tell you that to any-- on any common sense definition, the average American is below where he was before, or his family, in terms of real income, GDP. We're still in a recession.
I suppose next he will tell us we still have combat troops in Iraq.
