After all the talk what is Obama FOR? Seems like all he is for is trying to convince the voters that McCain is another Bush. Didn't Bush hide in the National Guard while McCain was over in Viet Nam? Bush had to have the support of many democrats to have anything done these past 2 years. Congress has been in control of the Democrats the last 2 years - WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? People here in the Midwest are dealing with the floods and what have the Democratic controled congress done about it - they decided to take a break. So lets get real peaople. I will be sending in my monies but not to the "One". My money will be going to McCain. Clinton Supporter for McCain. I'm a little confused. After all the talk what is Obama FOR?

In just today: Monthly chain store sales August are expected to be up only 1.2% in August vs. August 2007. Back to school sales figures are coming in very weak. ISM employment index fell to 45.4 in August from 47.1 in July. Non farm payrolls are anticipated to show a triple-digit decline. ISM non-manufacturing index was 50.6 in August vs. 49.5 in July, virtually flat and both pathetic. 50% indicates zero growth in business activity. Q3 GDP estimates I have seen so far indicate it will come in at under 1%. The economy has show remarkable resilience this year, but has been tittering on the brink for a while. Energy prices and the problems in real estate continue to create more problems. Things may recover, but anyone who says things are "fundamentally strong" is either trying to allay fears or just plain out-of-touch. Perhaps you need to do more than just read a book. Eric,

Those who believe that our economy is in shambles should look at the 2008 2nd quarter GDP statistics where we had an annual GDP growth rate of 3.3%, a very steady and good rate. And with the department of labor statistics saying we have an unemployment rate of 5.7%, which is less than it was in the 90’s, how could our economic fundamentals not be strong. I do believe that inflation is a problem, however, but it’s just like that bumper sticker, inflation happens. The real reason many Americans are hurting is we are living outside our means and running up credit debt like never before. There will always be bullish and bearish times. The problems our pocketbooks face today is that we did not save during the good times to weather the bad. McCain’s statement on the fundamentals of our economy being strong is fundamentally correct. Those who do not think so should read an economics book. I am sick of hearing that John McCain is wrong and lying when he states that the fundamentals of the economy are strong.

Anyways, what I'm quite curious as to why they chose Michigan of all places. There are at least 2 other places (as of 2 days ago) that are quite a bit more valuble than the 17 "electoral votes" that Michigan provides (those states would be Ohio and Florida, for those that don't want to look it up). Yet they pick a state where Obama has a 5% lead over McCain, not where McCain has only a 1% lead (Florida) or Obama has a 2% lead (Ohio). Then again, those polls only being a sample, you don't really know just which way said states (and all of them, for that matter) are going to go. CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!!!

Anyways, what I'm quite curious as to why they chose Michigan of all places. There are at least 2 other places (as of 2 days ago) that are quite a bit more valuble than the 17 "electoral votes" that Michigan provides (those states would be Ohio and Florida, for those that don't want to look it up). Yet they pick a state where Obama has a 5% lead over McCain, not where McCain has only a 1% lead (Florida) or Obama has a 2% lead (Ohio). Then again, those polls only being a sample, you don't really know just which way said states (and all of them, for that matter) are going to go.
