Option 4.  I certainly want the economy to get better, but I don't want people to give President Obama all the credit and reelect him because of it.

So who deserves the credit in your opinion?

I don't know, but it depends on a lot of factors.  You can't just blame or give credit to elected officials for those things.

So public policy (enacted by elected officials) has no effect on things like unemployment and the economy?
