Barack Obama will be America’s 44th President. It’s been an amazing ride.

End in Sight: 100 Days till End of Bush

The end is near, my friends. No, I’m not talking about the end of the race for the White House, which has been going on for two frickin’ years. That ends in just 24 days. I’m talking about the end of the term of the current occupant of the White House: George W. Bush.

The industry’s case has been helped by the fact that Michigan and Ohio, the two states most dependent on the car industry, are key swing states in the November 4 presidential election.

From Monday’s CQPolitics.com:

“I’m leaning hard against it,” said William Lacy Clay, D-Mo. “All the calls to my office seem to be opposed. People don’t think we should be bailing out Wall Street. They think we should help families that are being foreclosed.”
