Reply #17: And as we've seen, if the US market goes down, other markets follow suit.

And if those go down, WW III might be what's called an "understatement" too.

I don't envy Obama right now. Especially when one-issue freaks coming in, putting their interest of personal issues over the economy. Nobody can get around the economy. Except national defense and foreign issues, which was also top of my list. Compare Obama to McCain and the difference is damn obvious. Obama has a far greater likeliness of uniting the world.

And it's all sad. I voted Obama for the same issue as well; the economy. For EVERYBODY will be suffering if that is not addressed. Even the mega-rich will suffer if the US economy crumbles, and there is no way to make the US irrelevant in the global economy. Fortunately.

I'm sorry others put smaller issues above those. That's their problem. I want what's best for the most amount of people, to alleviate and end the suffering. That's why I voted for Obama. On the two issues I've mentioned. Nothing else really matters right now, and won't for some time. Eventually other issues will. Right now, anything other than foreign relations and the economy are trifles. And I will not apologize for saying or believing that. Too much is at stake.
