Have I forgotten about ....

So it appears uncharacteristic of me to remain almost silent during this tumultuous election season. Truth to the subject lies in the candidates, the media and well, the topics.

*None of the remaining candidates have any appeal or credibility to deserve further mention or consideration. Celebrity endorsement does not warrant the mental strength and earnesty to lead the world.
*Each night the airwaves are filled with cackling "political experts", a reminder of Rosie O'Donell and Elizabeth Hasselbeck exchange on "The View".
*Education has to be a pre-requisite to be a politician, yet the the utterings and mumblings from the podiums are mush of economic farse, flip-flop loyalty, and unoriginal. Hillary proposed economic ideals effective in other countries, keyword, OTHER COUNTRIES, unapplicable to the present economic system. Adam Smith is definitely frowning at the ramblings and "solutions" to the economy. I may not have paid much attention in Microeconomics or Macroeconomics, but I do remember Dr Goldberg,
"Any economy requires years to recover from a recession that only takes
months to vanquish a system. Pumping funds into the system is the way to stimulate the cycle, however the effect is delayed. Therefore the recovery efforts of the current administration will be stolen credit for the next administration."

In short the current Bush administration is undoing the Clinton fiasco, doing anything possible to recover, pumping stimuli into the economy. Unfortunately the hard work will be credited to the next tenant of the White House.

All the caucusus and polls are just overwhelming. The current numbers I am concerned about are the price of gas and the balance in my checkbook, probably similar to 95% of the world. So far the candidates have not proposed anything convincing worthy of my consideration.
