I had a chance to speak to a lot of my senior economics professors just to get an idea of what they thought about the election. All of them support Obama. But every single one of them pretty much echoed one exact statement, "Obama can not fix this mess, the President doesn't have much control over certain very important issues." Basically they all said that voting for Obama because he had a better plan to save the U.S. then McCain did was a stupid reason to vote, because both candidates dont have the power to do much in that field. They said that ANY democratic candidate would have won this election, not to take away from Obama's victory, but if there was ever a time when an average joe had a time to become president, it was now! I love Obama and wish him the best... A great victory for America and a sad day for hicks....
