The Third Debate - USA

Its the final debate folks, lets be honest Obama is going to win the Presidency. Thus lets see what his Administration will look like in the early days. One can expect in this debate nothing new, have doubts that McCain will bring up Ayers, Wright, Acorn, whats the point, if he had done so early in the Campaign the polls might have been different. After the election he is going back to the Senate, thus will have to work with an Obama Administration, if he burns his bridges that will not work long term for him. Thus will be interesting to see what Obama states about Tax, Culture Issues, Foreign Policy.

Death in Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports on the death of a British Soldier in Afghanistan. The total of those killed now stands at 121. The low level of War in Afghanistan will last years and will cost the life's of many British Service Personnel, we need new ideas and a new strategy, we are bailing out of Iraq, we cant leave the impression that we are weak, the line will have to be held in Afghanistan.

The Markets

BBC News: Reports on the falls on the Dow Jones and the FTSE, in New York the Dow as down 733.08 points, nearly eight percent of the Markets, in London the FTSE was down 314.62 points, around seven percent. I thought all these bailouts in the USA and UK was meant to sooth the market, what is Plan Z. Thinking all of those billions thrown at the Markets, how many Schools, Hospitals, help to small business could those billions have helped. These polices followed so far by the West could make one left wing sooner or later.
