It's that time of year again...

That's right. September 11, a day that anyone over the age of 17 will remember for the rest of their lives. It's because that is the day that America changed. It was like the Pearl Harbor of the 21st century.

It is the time when the world came together to mourn the loss of thousands of lives. It was the day that it didn't matter if you were Republican or Democrat. Well, again this year, in what looks to be the one of the the most heated elections in decades, the candidates are taking the day to come together to demonstrate unity; something that both candidates are saying must happen if we want to 'change' or 'reform' America.

On Sunday September 7 around 10:00 pm, this was the big story as far as the election on BBC. It comes after a week of McCain's campaign being in the spotlight. Other than that particular article, others still surrounded McCain's speech at the RNC and the American economy.

The American economy is hurting right now. The headline on BBC is about the save that the US government just made to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If you're in America, of course that would be a big deal. Those that live here in America have always heard that we're the leaders of the free world, but it shows no better than on a site where the target audience is Europe.

What happens in the American economy affects the rest of the world. In the article, they don't mention the election, but in the box designed for the election, there is an article about John McCain's speech. In that they do mention that McCain did not mention his lack of knowledge when it comes to the economy.

My question is, however, I know that McCain doesn't have the best history with the economy-- but no one has ever talked about how Obama does. Obama is known as a community activist, a young guy with lots of energy-- not experience--with the economy or otherwise.

I believe that the economy is a tough topic because there aren't a lot of people who really do understand how it works. The average American doesn't understand stocks or bonds, or what it means when the Dow Jones is down 2 points. I feel that this will be an issue that will continue to resurface throughout this election.
