The worst Depression ever, DOW around 800, 30% unemployment, Obama drops the ball badly, does not even run for reelection.
#2
A very bad depression. DOW around 2,000, unemployment around 15-20%, a Hooveresque Obama term.

Your options skip the most likely scenario:

I expect the unemployment rate to top ou at approximately 10.8% and the DOW to bottom around 6,000 (Industrial).

Obama is toast unless the Republicans blow it (again).

Why would that mean he's toast? In November of 2012, the public isn't going to care about the state of the economy as of 2009. As disastrous as Obama's agenda is, it would be incredible if his policies managed to prevent a recovery by late 2012.

'Recoveries' (World War II, for example) only happen because of government policy. Recoveries, on the other hand, are a product of the efforts of free people.
