Obama regains lead, country going to hell

As the economy continues to swoon the latest polls show Barack Obama again out in front of John McCain 47%-45% in CNN's "Poll of Polls". With the economy on a "bridge to nowhere" and Senator Joe Biden asking folks making $250K or more to pay more taxes as an act of "patriotism" so we can put more money in the pockets of the middle class, the Democrats have regained their footing and the post-convention bounce the McCain once enjoyed has leveled off. Interestingly however, pollster John Zogby has the electoral race tightening up with Obama leading McCain 234-226 with 78 electoral votes up for grabs. Zogby has "colored purple" New Mexico, Colorado, Indiana, North Carolina, and Virgina, five states McCain can carry to win the presidency. However, when you say things like "I'd fire the SEC chairman" as how you'd handle the economic crisis or endorse a plan that has the federal government creating an "identity" to house all of the "bad" debt that's circulating in the economy, Common Sense is not sure if you should be in the White House...Stocks were up more than 400 points today as the federal goverment infused billions into the economy and announced its new "economic" plan late today...Our good friend Jeff Scott, host of the "Jeff Scott Show" from 12:30-3:00 p.m. on WNNG 1350 am gives us a great website from CNN to help us understand the high price of gasoline even though a barrel of oil reached a low of $92.00 today. Check out http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/27/explainer.pump.price/index.html...As violence escalates in Afghanistan, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says "we need a new plan". Really? Is this the best we can do?

There are 47 days until the presidential election. And, it's been 2,761 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
