The economy is turning around. Employment is a lagging indicator. If the kind of fear that you describe isn't largely dispelled by summer, Bush is out.

The fear will be gone. Bush will be re-elected by a landslide.

I have no fear about that.

A landslide is correct; by the time the election season is upon us, the media will have surpressed the economy so long that it will look like a hugh economic volcano spewing cash.
