I'm not talking about stocks going down. Stocks have been going up and down for weeks. That isn't even mentioned in the article. I'm talking about Obama's statement that things will get worse before they get better, no matter who is elected, and if, when, and how McCain will respond to that statement.

In a larger sense, I am talking aout making significant statements and promises at the last minute, as a campaign tactic in order to turn things around.

p.s. I forgot to include the link at first, it's there in my post now.
