"Miracle," as defined by my copy of the Random House Dictionary of the English Language, second edition -- 1) an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural causes and is ascribed to a supernatural cause. 2) such an effect or event manifesting on considered as a work of God. 3) a wonder; marvel. 4) a wonderful or surpassing example of some quality.
To which I would add 5), as understood by Ed Schultz -- divisive, deceitful rhetoric used by Obama (campaign ad maligning Romney as "Not One of Us," for example) to delude credulous half of electorate.
