The economy is likely to tank whoever wins (as a result of obamas policies). The middle east will also blow up. So if Obama wins, at least he will get the blame for these....I believe it is too late to fix the economy and the damage inthe middle east is basically done. So if Obama wins, at least he will get the blame and the foolish masses in this country might wake up. So to sum, I am not so stressed about it
Um, no.
If obama wins (G-d forbid), what difference does it make if he gets blamed for things if he has already had or started a second term and no longer has to face the voters? First of all, no, he will never get blamed for his mistakes because people have become blinded by color and the media incessantly supports and defends him. Secondly, can you imagine what kind of damage he would do w a second term?! Who cares what he is blamed or not blamed for afterwards? The country will be destroyed.
And the democrats will just trot out some new "sensation' who can do no wrong and w their usual propaganda blame republican resistance for why obama's policies failed.
No thanks.
2. The doomsdayers keep getting it wrong every year calling for double dip recession. Its just a sluggish stalled minimal growth economy w high unemployment and will continue to be so. Probability suggests the double dippers are wrong again this year. If Romney wins, the stock markets will rip higher and businesses will get confident (weird but the market performance impacts corporate confidence) and hopefully take more risks and start hiring again.
The worst case scenario on the economy is basically as follows: bad economic #'s persist in July and August so the fed chairman bernanke does a new round of quantitative easing. This will cause months of stock market exuberation because its basically dropping monopoly money on it. People will see soaring portfolios and think obama did something good in leadup to the election. Also companies will hire and macro numbers will improve due to QE. That will create positive perception for obama into the election although he did nothing.
3. The middle east already did blow up.
