So we've had two debates between the Presidential candidates, and one between the Vice Presidential candidates, and we should really be able to start figuring out who the winners of these debates are, or at least, who the loser in the debates has been.

And just who is the loser in the debates?  Well my fellow citizens, that would be US, the citizens of the U.S.A.

That's right, we're the ones that have loser stamped all over our faces, as we sit and watch debates between candidates from either party that should be standing in front of all of us apologizing profusely for having totally flubbed up the economy, but instead are standing in front of us pointing at the other guy or at least are refusing to accept their own portion of the responsibility for the economic mess we are in.  While these people may not be directly responsible, they were the ones that should have been monitoring the store and making sure that the employees weren't robbing it blindly.

Despite protestations from Barrack Obama that he raised the red flag a few years ago, and despite McCain's speechifying on how he has tried to be a voice of reason who will get rid of the pork in the budget, neither has any real pedigree to point to when it comes to the current economic mess.  Neither held hearings on the subject, neither talked up the topic during their campaigns, and neither really wanted to pay any attention to the problems until the sub-prime mortgage crisis was, well, a crisis.

As I look at both of these candidates with election day quickly approaching, I'm wondering where the heck is Ross Perot with his charts, graphs, and tables that tell us all about how screwed up the economy is?!!?  Where is that little guy when you need him?!  I guess he's back home looking at the billion$ he left in the bank (hopefully it's still billions, and hasn't been reduced to millions compliments of the mess).

I really have to say that none of these candidates do anything for me.  Both should be fired from their current day jobs just for not doing more to stem the current economic mess, and like many of the CEOs involved in the companies that helped get us to the mess we're currently in, none deserve to be given another chance to demonstrate their incompetence, meaning none deserve any sort of promotion or election to any other office.

Where's the real choice here?  If you can find it, please let me know where.
