stoddard, former labor secretary elaine chao, melody barnes, and times magazine mike duffy.t we've heard gun control and now immigration reform and yet kind of rearing its ugly head this week has been the economy. we've seen that at least the figures we have now, show that the economy actually shrank in the last quarter of last year. we see consumer confidence down and the slight uptick in the unemployment figures in january, the economy still adds jobs, still not enough to dig into the unemployment rate. does the president pursue immigration and gun control at the risk of not focusing on the economy? >> i think the president has to take on all of these challenges. >> he didn't in the first -- in the first term when he took on health care, everybody said why isn't he focusing on jobs? >> a focus on health care is the economy and jobs as is immigration reform. if you aren't able to juggle many balls at the same time, you also aren't able to be president of the united states. so what we saw this past week is the reality that political risk is the biggest threat to our economy
