McCain, How Disappointing!

I was expecting better from John McCain. Until today, I was hoping and expecting John McCain to win the election. Now, it matters not who wins the Presidential election.

It does matter who wins in Congress. Any of the Representatives and Senators from either party that voted for the bailout bill should be voted out of Congress at their next election whether this November or in future years.

John McCain should have said, "Congress has spoken." John McCain should have said, "our capitalistic system, the best economic system in the world, is about to repaint the landscape across the United States. Many business large and small will fail. Many jobs will be lost. Times will be hard. But, the United States is the most resilient, resourceful and successful nation in the history of mankind. We will recover. We will grow stronger. We will come back with the shackles of $35 bounced check charges, 25% credit cards, home prices out of reach and energy costs unsustainable, all a part of history.

Banks will once again compete for your business rather than dictate that you must allow the computer pay for items when your account has insufficient funds. Mortgage companies will tell you NO, when they know you likely will get in trouble in paying your mortgage. Subsidies will be provided for all energy sources equally rather than favoring oil and government entrenched socialistic electrification companies.

Once we have recovered, our great nation will become the leaders once again in the use of our intellectual powers. We will be the leaders in science and math rather than simply be the political pawns of those that can talk the talk but fail to deliver. The United States will unlock trillions of dollars in the solar system that will dwarf the trillions dollars of debt we are now facing. As your next President, I will lead us on this struggle to recover and recover we will."

But, he failed. Now who gets elected does not matter. Either candidate will likely preside over a long economic recovery his entire four years in office. Whomever is elected will likely be a one-term President; we don't keep Presidents when the economy is not going well.
