CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE!
The ever growing list of companies and Retail stores closing means more people out of work. The news is more and more depressing. I am so hoping for change. Not holding my breath.
What I would love to see is some campaign reform. The amount of money spent on campaigning is just wrong. If our politicians are so good at getting donations, well, hell why don't we have them do some fundraising for worthwhile causes. My Goodness, what they raised alone for their campaigns could have saved social security (I don't know if anything can save it, really)
Anyways, I think a change is needed on campaign policies. Limits on spending/fundraising and time. For Goodness sakes, if we cut back, said, hey two months of the bullshit, that would cut the cost.
I am hoping for CHANGE, CHANGE and more CHANGE. AND we all know Obama had a lot of CHANGE! Would he really before campaign reform? I am sure someone out there will try to say his rhetoric says he is but ACTIONS say a lot. Obama had a lot of CHANGE! Not sure he would give it up?

Hi Lucy,
McCain was the campaign reform man and still is. Obama agreed not to raise extra money but like everything else, he 'changed' his mind when it fit his agenda. I wonder how well he would have done without so much money and I think McCain did surprisingly well with much, much less money, the economic bagage he inherited from the Bush administration, and the one-sided press all stacked up against him.
None of us really know what the change that Obama promised us is and frankly, I'm a little afraid of finding out.

Lol about the saving social security. As for the economy, it dropped 1000 points in the first two days after Obama was elected. The press wouldn't dare touch that one. It's gone down more since then.
Neil Cavuto says that the market is behaving irradically because it senses that something has died and that 'something' is capitalism.
