It is going to be a bad Christmas shopping season, right? I ain't believing it! It was reported Black Friday was 10% better than 2007; however, one week later we hear the gloom and doom - Worst season in decades!

Joe wildly received

"It actually upsets me," Mr. Wurzelbacher said. "I am a plumber, and just a plumber, and here Barack Obama or John McCain, I mean these guys are going to deal with some serious issues coming up shortly. The media's worried about whether I paid my taxes, they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America. They really don't. I asked a question. When you can't ask a question to your leaders anymore, that gets scary. That bothers me."

"Joe", you can ask a question of our leaders; however, where the "media's man" is concerned you must ask the right question and one that hurts his opponent not one that really needs to be answered - Think about it why hasn't anyone in the media asked...

• With your plan what constitutes a small business?
• The $250,000 figure is that gross or net revenue?
• On personal tax, if $250,000 is the magic number, why did you vote to raise taxes on anyone making $42,000?

...but, you will not hear these questions form the media - Obama, would then have to explain something. NO they (the media) will spend the limited time investigating you, because you mean so much to the rest of the population. Makes no sense does it, but remember they (the media) are so much smarter than the rest of us, there has to be a reason for this we are just to ignorant to understand it.
