Both Obama and Mcain are hot on the campaign trail this week, addressing the country's most pressing issue, the economy.

McCain, who only a week ago said the economy was fundamentally sound, is now saying that the U.S. financial system is facing a major crisis. He was a champion of de-regulation and corporate tax breaks for the very institutions that took a nose dive this week. Yet, now he's singing a very different tune. You know, the one of utter desperation? He'll sing anything to get your vote.

Please, don't listen.

Obama, is still awaiting the detailed Congressional plan before his camp releases theirs. He's right in doing that, there is going to be no "simple" solution to this nightmare.

The big question on voter's minds is this; who do you trust to turn this country's economy around?

For me, that person is Barack Obama. He has been pro-regulation, anti-corporate tax breaks for the duration of his campaign. He cares about the average American having to pay for a mess that the Bush administration, including John McCain, has out us into.

For those of you who think that McCain is the one to lead this country out of its current crisis, please do some research on " The Keating Five". Your beloved Arizona Senator was involved in a Savings & Loan scandal that cost the tax payers $126.4 Billion dollars . The result of that being the recession of the late eighties and early nineties.

The current pricetag for our country's present financial disaster is $700 Billion dollars.

If this country landed in a recession for $600 Billion dollars less, how will we handle it now? Especially with a war that John McCain supports that's currently costing us $10 Billion dollars a month. The total cost of the war in general could have paid for this government bail out.

John McCain helped get us into an economic recession before with his questionable actions as well as his de-regulation, pro-corporate tax breaks platform. He certainly is leading us into one now. That being said, what makes you think he is capable of leading us out?
