Hi.
Tonight should be another barn burner. Obama versus McCain. Four weeks to election day. Fresh off one of the most watched and analyzed VP debates in recent history we get back to the actual presidential candidates.
When they shake hands, McCain should say, "Hi terrorist. Can I call you terrorist?" You know, to set up the zinger to come later a la, "can I call you Joe?" leading up to, "say it ain't so, Joe!"
They should have plenty to talk about...
The stock market closed today at 9,447. A 5 year low. DO NOT EVEN CHECK YOUR 401K. You will not be happy. Do not cash it in though. The whole point of the 401k is long term. If you are close to retirement...well, timing is everything isn't it?
The "war" drags on in Iraq. McCain and Palin keep talking about "winning". What is it exactly that we as a nation are trying to "win" in Iraq? [side note: McCain was a POW, yes. and they don't let us forget it for a minute. We as a nation should applaud his dedication and service. This however does not make him a hero, and it certainly does not pre-qualify him to be the President...]
How is bringing home our troops "losing"? They have fought valiantly and sacrificed so much. Bring them home, so we can say thank you to their face and not to their widow.
To all of our armed forces worldwide, the Nixons would like to say THANK YOU!!!!!!!! You work and risk your lives everyday for everyone of us whether we deserve it or not. THANK YOU!!!!!!
And did we mention that the stock market closed at a 5 year low? We are on the edge of a global economic disaster. You can forget about any tax breaks for the next 4 years. Throw out any campaign promises regarding the economy. But rest assured that we will hear plenty of them tonight.
The truth of the matter is that the next couple of years are going be dictated by circumstances, not by rhetoric and empty promises. This could be the depression that our grandchildren hear about and don't relate to the way we didn't relate to our grandparents stories of the depression of the 20th century.
The Nixons think it will be OK, and we will avoid a full blown depression, but we tend to expect the best. You should too! A lot of this economic crap is psychological snowballing, so stay positive!!!
Blah blah blah. Watch the debate tonight. PS, it's more fun to watch it at a bar or with a group consisting of people from both parties. Very interesting indeed.
talk soon,
-the Nixons
