Well, Krav, the market fell once again today despite the "bailout", so you don't have to worry.   Can't believe they're pushing this thing through; it will cost us, and it won't fix the problem.   I 'm still opposed to it. 

Obama lucked out with the timing of this thing, though how he can be seen as "stronger on the economy" is beyond me. 

The only possible October surprise, and I shudder to think of it, would be an imminent terrorist threat, action or military crisis.
