A Shift in the Story

The economy is collapsing, sending shock waves throughout the world. Within the chaos, a more disturbing reality is forming. Barack Obama is gaining support because of this economic meltdown. What is going on here? Obama has been on the fence during this new piece of legislation yet his poll numbers continue to climb. John McCain has been accused of using this crisis for political gain, yet Nancy Pelosi has used this vote to prop up Barack Obama. If you read the previous post on the democrats committing political suicide, this makes absolutely no sense.

The democrats have successfully gained control of many aspects related to the election. Harry Reid has gone on record of saying that McCain's return would not be helpful. John McCain would be politically attacked if he had not come back to work on it. It was a no win situation. If the plan had gone through, Obama would be glorified, yet McCain, who helped worked on it, would be attacked for a something the taxpayers do not support.

Perhaps, some points are being missed here, but the story is being written and rewritten as we speak and no clear conclusions can be made.
