If the us economy is going to be in a recession for 2-3 yrs why elect Obama?

There is a growing consensus that we are going to be in prolonged recession lasting at least 2 to 3 years.

There is a also a school of thought that government meddling in the natural cycle of the economy has precipitated this current economic malaise beginning with the dot com bubble.

So if less government is best and we are going to have a recession, of what incremental value would an Obama administration add?

Obama's current fiscal policies will only worsen the the recession.
