If Obama wins reelection, do you wish the current recession to continue?

[5280]

If Obama wins reelection, do you wish the current recession to continue?  The media talks about the fiscal cliff on January 2013 when taxes go up for the higher income familes and businesses.  Obama wants the higher income brackets to pay their fair share and its coming closer. Another 4 years of an Obama administration, I doubt the economy will pick up, GDP will gain any ground, etc. Would the recession, put a blow on the Democrat party for a generation after 2016?

I know, some people will not like the thread, but what are your thoughts?

What kind of person, exactly, do you think is going to vote yes?

There's already 2 yes votes, and 4 no votes.  Apparently somebody does, not saying it's a good idea.  My point of the poll, if people still vote for Obama, do they not care enough about fiscal issues, and believe an Obama 2nd term will turn the US around after the last 4 years?  It's self evident that we're in a stagflation economy and it's only getting worse.

[J. J.]

No, but I think we will.

It was so nice to see these troll posts lighten up after Politico left. Alas.

[BaldEagle1991]

NOOOOOOOOO!

Voting yes to this question is the equivalent to voting 'yes' to hoping for another terrorist attack.

I don't want the US to go into another recession, but there's enough reason it will. Maybe this will get the US to figure out after Obama's 2nd term, it's not going to turn it around.  Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

NOOOOOOOOO!

You're foolish to think that, and it's irrelevant.

If CO has the same effects as NV I think Obama will win the state by 4 if things go like they are now.

I'm going to put out the blame of ignorant people who don't do enough research on why should Obama get another 4 years. It's simple as that.

Yes, anyone who disagrees with you is an ignorant who doesn't do enough research.
Sure you're not a Paulite?

If you care about fiscal issues, you vote Obama or 3rd party. Anyone who votes Romney and claims to care about fiscal issues is an idiot or a hack.

[You kip if you want to...]

No, what a stupid question to ask.

This is election 2012, not 2004.

I think wishing for a recession is like wishing for something like cancer. No one should be hoping for that.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

The answer to "If Bush wins reelection, do you want the US to go in another recession?" would also have been a resounding "no" from any sane person.

That's too broad of an aspect way of thinking, you either pick a topic or don't contribute.

The recession will begin in 2014/late 2013 as a cause of high energy prices, but we are due to experience a cyclical boom that started this September and should last a few months. I am going to vote Not sure to not skew the poll results.

Im afraid gas prices will grow higher, above $5 by end of next year.

Wishing for a recession is indirectly wishing for people to die.

Do you realize that during a recession people often lose jobs and people lose out on going into the job market? It's devastating.

Yes, I understand the situation. But it doesn't hurt to ask the question.  I do not want anybody to suffer.

Regardless of the motive for this question, I will still answer NO.

Yes, and that will cause the recession.

I voted yes in this poll because the premise of the question is ridiculous!
