Thats not an assumption I made, in fact I made arguments for both the economy recovering and not recovering. If the economy improves (to Americans' expectations), Obama becomes a hero and invicible at the polls. If the economy doesn't improve, Obama doesn't have a chance in 2012, especially against a candidate like Olympia Snowe.
I won't pretend to know enough to make a prediction when it is possible for the economy to turn around, nor can I effectively compare our current economic situation to those during the time of Roosevelt and Reagan. I will say that Obama has until mid to late 2012 for the economy to improve.
