....but maybe, clarify it some: (Oh, yes: OY)

With changes the progressives want for the bail out, the government becomes more left wing.

Without the changes, as initially presented by the Bush Administration, the government becomes more right wing.

The left wing wants more cushion for the middle class. The right wing wants more escape hatches, legal and financial, for the upper class.

More people are in the middle class. Much fewer people are in the upper class. It this a democracy or isn't it?

A citizen must answer that question with a vote. Think about it.

Yip, no easy choice folks.

Irresponsibility and incompetence have been playing in the sandbox for way too long. The 'sand' was in my eyes in 1999.

As Obama speaks about the importance of Friday's debate, I wish us all the best with an emphatic OY!
