Crisis will Pass
I agree with Jozie's last post. This crisis will eventually pass, even though it might not feel like it now. And if we elect a president based on the stock market, when the storm passes we might be left with someone incapable of running the country, or whose ideas do not match ours. I'm not backing any candidate in particular by writing this, only saying that we can't let this be the only factor we consider when we step behind the curtain to vote.

We are headed to hell in a handbasket.
Perhaps the economic wellfare of our country is not the only issue to vote for a president, but I cannot think of a more important one. Playing with the economic future of our country is playing with our rights and living conditions as citizens of this nation. A seven hundred billion dollar bailout is not an ideal plan, it creates a more goverment controlled society. Socialism. But it was nessesary for our economy. Economics will always be central.
I think that you are wrong. I think that the president we elect will have a big say in whether or not the economic crisis is solved or not and even if it is solved economics will continue to play a large part in our nations welfare so a president capable of dealing with economics is a good idea.
I'm with Vicki on this. The president represents an entire nation and a president will always deal with economics. Every day, even when the economy is growing. With what's going on in the stock market the candidates economic policy is extremely important and should play a large part in a voters decision.
It is not strictly up to the President to clean up the economic mess. Of course he can implement some more plans and oversight to eleviate the economic distress. But remember-- Congress, lenders, and oblivous or careless borrowers also had alot to do with the situation we are in. This next four years is a vital time for our politicians to come, put their supposed heads together, and agree on a solution. Additionally, we must hone in on who is giving out loans and mortgages to unqualified people.
Vicky, i dont' think you understand what my comment said...you need to read it again, because i actually agree with you....and maybe you should read the post.
