I was reading foxnews.com and found that Barrack Obama delivered a “sermon of unity” in Ohio in response to the stock market’s current state, that was quite interesting. He stated that the true test for the nation’s economy is not that of liberal or conservative, republican or democrat- the true test is what works for the American people. He expressed ultimate optimism when acknowledging the hard times the country is currently facing. He also spoke about tax cuts for the middle class and the elimination of capital gain from small businesses. He attacked McCain by claiming that the conservative has “a barrage of nasty insinuations and attacks” on his character. Obama also made it a point to claim that Americans do not need someone who will divide this country- Americans need leadership, someone who has the ability to lead this country. He claims that we must rise above politics because times are far too serious right now- people are looking for something beyond politics.
