I happened to be enjoying a cup of joe at a local cafe when Bush held a news conference this morning. The stock markets of the world are all down substantially and he was trying to reassure us (and the world???) that all will be well if we have patience. I quote Bush..."Fellow citizens, we can solve this crisis...and we will." Really???? I just read that Bush's approval rating is at 25%. No one listens to him anymore....did anyone watch Saturday Night Live last week? How long will it be before the Dow Jones Average falls below 8,000? I am spending as much time as I can getting people registered to vote and talking to people about Barack Obama. I have noticed that a lot main stream Republicans here in MA who had planned to vote for McCain are now shifting to Obama....McCain's choice of Sarah Palin and her subsequent performance have convinced them that "they can not vote for a dose of the same"!!!! I read that in a history text written in 1933. The author pointed out that in 1932, although 54 million voted for FDR....27 million voted for a dose of the same. I just hope that we get a more honest vote than the last two presidential elections.
