Many may remember during the recent presidential campaign that John McCain was actually ahead of Barack Obama in the polls when suddenly and almost over night “the economy” went to hell in a handbasket. I found it rather odd and in fact suspicious that the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch etc., primarily due to the subprime mortgage meltdown, happened to occur at precisely the perfect time to help Obama surge past McCain and into the Oval Office. History has shown that when the country is in a financial bind during elections the citizens boot the incumbent party out in favor of the opposition. That axiom sure worked out well for Obama now didn’t it?
