An appeal to the mythical majority.

It certainly doesn't win the game.

I would be thrilled to see the economy recover in full. I benefit in every way possible by a thriving economy. Unfortunately I think Obama has demonstrated how economically ham-handed he is, and he's only making things worse, particularly in the long run.
