My fellow Americans

The intent of this blog is finance. Politics isn't something worth going into especially when there are sites like Politico, Drudge Report, and Huffington Post all covering the 2008 election. This point was even more true after blogging about one of the Presidential debates.

Alas, with only a few days left it is fitting to something even if no one reads this point.

Dear McCain,

It is incredibly disheartening to see how you've run your campaign or rather had your campaign run for you. At first, the idea of two politicians talking directly to the American people sounded great but something disturbing happened. Along the way the message fell off course. This is very plain and clear when anyone could ever say that there is more than one America. bThousands of people have and are fighting, sacrificing their life on the premise that this is one nation. There is no pro-America and anti-America.

Everyone is feeling the pinch from the boardrooms to the janitorial staff. No one is exempted from the perils taking place on Wall St and the impact it's having on Main St. To even make the mention or hint at it puts a foul stench in the air. It isn't right, and you know it. There are limits to everything and when you crossed it there was no turning back.

For that reason, Mr. McCain, you should do the nation a favor and gracefully bow out. After unsuccessfully running before you realize this isn't about failure. There is an integrity to the role of President of the United States which your words have compromised.

How will you tell someone's children that they aren't able to be President because using fear and scare tactics was better than using the truth? Yes Mr McCain, there is a difference between facts and the truth. How do you tell someone that they are anti-American when they work two or three jobs to feed their family? That the sacrifice they make to give their children a better life isn't good enough when your own family has over and above the means to afford a lavish lifestyle.

Being President isn't a hobby. Please consider this as you continue on this campaign.
