“The point is this: Those pundits were saying if the economy is in pretty good shape next year, the President should have a pretty good chance of being reelected, but if the economy is not good, then it will be more difficult for the President to be reelected. That is not exactly rocket science, but it makes the point that many of us on this side have been making: The President would not propose a package for economic growth and job creation he did not think was not going to work. The whole point of his package is to help get the economy growing, to create jobs so people will be in the mood to reelect him President.”
