      If I'm a presidential candidate from either party, I'm pissed. Forestalling a recession is bad for a future president's political fortunes. If one hit, oh, say, starting in June and lasted even an entire year, a candidate could say he/she 'inherited' this downturn from the Bush administration. The short term ire would later be replaced by a nice 'bounce' in consumer (read: voter) confidence and good will towards the president just before his/her first midterm election. Just sayin'...
