The Fix looks at the timing of President Obama's big economic speech next week and notes, "There are no coincidences in presidential politics... It's clear that this White House saw an opportunity to drive a major -- and direct -- contrast between President Obama and his potential Republican rivals and took it."
"The contrast the White House is hoping to force is between a sitting incumbent spending his time trying to find solutions to the big problems facing the country and a motley crew of Republicans fighting amongst themselves as they all try to run to the extreme ideological right."
