Basically my point is, IMO this “recession” (we are not currently in a recession, since the definition of a recession is 2 consecutive periods of negative GDP growth, which we currently have just had one) is just a part of the business cycle. If you look back through the history of the US economy, we have gone through many recessions and been alright.

This is especially something that should be expected after the huge boom in the 90s.

Obama definitely won’t ruin the economy, it will just bounce back slower if he is elected I think.
