I doubt that Rove will say that Republicans should have voted for the porkulus. More likely, he will state the obvious: that if the economy starts to recover by itself, the MSM and those who are disgusted with the Bush years will give the credit to Obama.
In the Video, Brokaw also highlights Obama’s repitition of the “accountability” theme. I don’t see how Geitner could do much worse than Paulson with the TARP money, so that is another opportunity for Obama to gain prestige, at least in the short term.
Geitner and Paulson are one in the same. They co-managed TARP.
