Well fight fans get ready for the last and final round of debates this evening. Tonight’s main event will be taking place in Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. As millions of eager viewers tune into CNN to watch the debate. The number one question on everyone’s mind….HOW DO YOU FIX THE ECONOMY???

According to Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll 56% of registered voters from Oct 10-13 favored Obama’s approach. But what does that really say? Does this mean the other 44% favor McCain? With an allocated 2-4% margin or error this years election will come down to the wire. All polls seem to have Obama leading with almost a 9 point lead over John McCain. The last presidential candidate to be able to close the gap and win the election was Ronald Regan. Does McCain have what it takes?

Watch the 3rd debate live in NY at 6pm PST and 9pm EST:

According to a recent poll conducted by CNN/Opinion Research Corp 54% of surveyors said Obama won the second debate.

How heavy does this weigh in the mind of voters? Both Obama and McCain have an inept ability to answer any real questions that matter to Americans. They both either live in a fantasy world or just choose to feed us regurgitated garbage pre written by their campaign advisers. With all the major issues at hand like the economy and the war either candidate does not seem to have any clear cut answers. Where does this leave the general public?

With things coming down to the wire and voting day just around the corner we need someone who is a straight shooter and will follow through on what he says. Looks like another 2 fat cats running for president with nothing more than elusive words and puppet strings.

With congress voting NO on the 700 Billion dollar relief hard times are coming. All indicators look to be pointing towards a recession.  Many of us who are employed grinding away at a regular 9-5 maybe walking towards a living hell until the economy decides to correct itself.  The question we need to ask ourselves now is How bad will it get? I sit around every night watching the days events recapped on CNN. Trying to make some sense of what is going on. Things seem to be more and more confusing. Interviews being done with panels of supposed experts from financial institutions tell us not to worry and have confidence in the markets but when you are taking 20-40 percent hits, even the people who look at the glass half full start to be a little pessimistic.

The reality is no one has any idea how bad the situation will get. The titanic has just hit the iceberg and we are all into drown. How is it possible that this all stems from bad mortgages? Banks and other financial institutions had a fiduciary duty to make sure that they money was not to be lent to people that did not and should not have qualified. Instead there were corrupt CEO’s and high ranking management that looked to make fat bonuses and risk the finiancial safety of everyone. Now with economy being flushed down the crapper there might be a chance that these same people are entitled to their bonus checks??? Are you kidding me?!?! I hope the FBI and SEC find out who all parties are that were responsible for this and PROSECUTE them to the FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW! If beloved Martha Stewart can do time for trading 250,000 dollars worth of stock, I cant wait to see what happens for the billions of dollars lost. Gordon Gecko from the movie Wallstreet once said “two things that are sure in life…death and taxes”. With the way the market looks I would not be surprised to see an increase in either one.
