Global Economy

Currently, I think that we are in bad shape of our global economy. As of now, we are declared in recession according to the Boston Globe article by Todd Wallack. Prices are going up such as oil. And with the stock market, it is in bad shape as well and is declining. Many businesses are going out of business. With the American election, it is a competition between McCain and Obama. Majority of the people I know are voting for Obama. But I am not sure if it’s because he’s popular with the celebrities or people are aware of what his goals are for our country. I feel that young people don’t know what Obama is about besides that he is African American and that he may be the first African American president. This 2008 election is a very important election because U.S. citizens need a change and a president who can run the country The global economy and the American election are connected by having the debates about what candidates can do to improve for the citizens about our economy.
