Stephanie Cutter said there is a "direct connection" between President Obama's 2009 stimulus package and the recent uptick in the economy Thursday on CNN's "The Situation Room."
BLITZER: Pretty brutal video, if you look at it.
CUTTER: Well, I think it’s very creative. It also happens to be factually wrong. If you just look at where the economy is today—24 straight months of job growth, the stock market just hit the 13,000 mark it hasn’t been at since 2008. You know, the economy is moving forward. There is a direct connection to when this president passed the stimulus bill, implemented it, and put his policies in place, and when this economy turned around.
Now, Herman Cain and other Republicans might not want to believe that or have voters believe that, but those are the facts. Instead of talking down the economy, and talking down the future of this country, they should just get on board.
Cutter is the deputy manager of the Obama reelection campaign.
