Executive Power Reaches a Limit at the Economy

I know we have been focusing a lot on how going to war affects people's votes, but what about other things? I think the economy is a huge aspect to look at as well. While the current economic situation will not necessarily sway voters, it certainly will be a major concern when either Obama or McCain is elected. People are constantly freaking out at the high cost of gas, which affects so many other elements. But in all reality this is just one small factor, our economy is suffering. While people look at Clinton's era as being very successful and Bush's as being awful, it is hard to pass judgments because of certain elements. This article pointed out that in the 2000s there have been many devastating shortfalls. For instance, employment gains have been lagging and investments are sloughing as well. The next elected president will also need to decide whether to keep on implementing Bush's tax cuts. People should be watching the debates and see where the spending is going to go. A change needs to be made, our economy needs strengthening, and somebody needs to take action.
