Ok, real talk. I understand that the economic crisis and subsequent rise in the UE greatly helped Obama in 2008, but I can honestly say that the prospects of the recession still scared the crap out of me. I was never happy to see the job losses during the election because it affected all of us, regardless of who we were supporting.

I'm sure there were some Romney supporters who were secretly hoping for a double dip this year, but I'm sure the vast majority didn't want to see that happen(if that is what you were insinuating).

Nah, I'm not trying to insinuate or bring about any type of narrative.  It's just another 'hack test.'

As someone who has college among other things to worry about, I can honestly say no, I would not.  I didn't really understand the magnitude of the recession four years ago, but I definitely wouldn't have wished for anyone to lose their job or have to change their retirement plans due to the declining state of the economy.
