The numbers, if accurate, do indicate relative growth, although employment data is still not reflective of the data. I hope the manner in which GDP data is collected is superior to the manner in which intelligence about WMD in Iraq was collected. It is a long way to the election, more than a year. The electorate has proven they can turn on a dime. Bush would be wise not to relax too much. One terrorist incident in the US could kill the rally and hope in an instant. Have we really built a house of bricks for this "recovery" or is it just another of this administration's strawman arguments.
