Presidential Election Year...Economy Improving...Go Figure?

It is absolutely no surprise that we have now entered into the Presidential Election year and the major news media outlets are speaking about how the economy is suddenly starting to improve.  I stated to my better half four months ago that you will hearing that there are good signs that the economy is improving come January of 2012.  Sure enough, that message is starting to pick up steam on the major media outlets.  I predict that by summer, we will be told that the economic recovery is very strong despite attempts by Republicans to derail it.  Amazing how it all works.  Of course we know that most economic experts are calling for a slow road back through much of 2012.  Where is the truth in all of this?
