To me, it's surprising that whether or not we're in a recession could be a hot button issue.

This. The stakes feel so low to me. Just about every president deals with a recession. Having a recession in your term is not a black mark of shame! If anything, I'd be more worried if a president didn't have any recession in their reign, as that would mean something else is being manipulated.

The attempt to suddenly change it now feels quixotic.

Considering we're leading into elections, it's extremely hot button.
