When President Clinton was in office from 1993-2001, the average American family gained $7,500 from the beginning of his term to the end.
While George Bush has been president, the average American family HAS LOST $2,000 from 2001 to the present time.
I can't complain about election coverage or the way the election is going. There has been some criticism of the media for being too positive with Obama and too negative against McCain. They have counted more negative stories about McCain than Obama. However, one journalist said it best, "If McCain is running a lousy campaign and we don't show that or report that, then we are biased against Obama."
If there was one thing that I don't like it's that journalists and everyone else is trying to create false suspense. They are saying that the election is closer than it appears. McCain, they say, could still win it. Yea, right! 1st he has to win Pennsylvania and the polls have him up by over 10% points. Very big lead to overcome. Obama is going into Republican states to campaign while McCain is desperately trying to hold onto those same states. But the journalists have been coming up with all these scenarios that he could win. One is that people don't want to look racist so they tell the pollster that they will vote for Obama and then turn around and vote for McCain. But pollsters are getting wise to that & ask questions that will uncover bias which they then factor into the results.

Anyway, I enjoyed the joint appearance by Clinton and Obama last night in Florida. That's where I got the statistic to open this post. I'm also really happy to hear Obama give Clinton credit to how much better our nation was in the 90s.
I don't know... maybe I should take these reports of a close election seriously. But the problem is that the thought of McCain winning after Obama has opened up this lead makes me too angry to think about. IT's bad to lose elections especially to a guy as devious and underhanded as Bush. But to lose after being ahead is just too much to take. I think if McCain wins, I'm going to go on a prolonged, violent attack against certain conservative targets. It's going to make my pyro escapades the night Reagan was re-elected in 1984 look tame in comparison.
Well, lets just pray that don't happen!! The nation needs a decent president and so does the world!! We deserve a helluva lot better than a Bush retread.
