It's past midnight on the East Coast but of course the blog is on Pacific Time. As this is being written the Asian markets have lost two to three per cent of their value. Will this trend spread to the US? Probably.
So with the world going to Hell, what does the President do? He gears up for a bus tour. That's right. He will be riding in his $1.1 million customized bus across battleground states in what happens to be a poorly disguised political campaign.
Understand, I am glad to see him back on the campaign trail. It is better for the country if he leaves Washington. It would be nice if this was a permanent vacation. No such luck.
This could be a political disaster. This guy has a record to defend this time around. Cheesy slogans just won't cut it. He might have to speak off the cuff here or there and that is never good. But it could get real embarrassing if the local Dems run for cover. The President comes to town and the governor and the senator and the dog catcher all happen to be busy that day.
I can't wait for the wheels to start rolling.
