I'd like to add some intelligent comment, but honestly this economic problem has gotten so big that I can't get my mind around it and I don't know what or who to believe. The people who are supposed to know what to do don't seem to really know either.
Obama has shown himself to be highly intelligent, a thorough and pragmatic thinker, and able to keep a cool head. I am extremely relieved that he will be the one in the White House because he'll need every ounce of composure he possesses.
