David announces his endorsement!


Where "Joe da Plumber" at, yo?

The clash between Obama and McCain and Joe and small businesses have roiled the news cycles for days and day now. I am going to vote for Obama because I like his compassion and desire to help improve inequalities in the country. I know people how say that he (and Democrats generally) are rewarding laziness and a sense of entitlement that damages the credibility of the American worker. While that is likely true for some segments of any mass crowd, I don't think that the playing field is level enough across the board for most Americans. I am blessed with a steady job, secure lifestyle, and many, MANY luxuries. Some people--NO MATTER how hard they strive--are always a mile behind.

ANYWAY . . .

My favorite economies podcast, NPR's Planet Money, has recently put out a challenge to its readers who could help answer the question of whether typical small businesses make $250,000 a year as McCain and Obama have been disagreeing on.

Huzzah, Burb! I, too, am voting for Obama. I'm also taking Stevie with me to the voting booth. To think that we are a week away from (hopefully) electing a black man as president is exciting and very historic, and I want my son to be there. Sure, it would also be historic to vote for a woman for VP, but not exciting, given the woman.
