Stop the Bleeding Please!

I know for most folks my age, the 401K is a buffer against poverty when you are old. My acct. has taken such a hit the last few days, I will work until I am 80 yrs old! I am usually a calm, wait & see person, but even I moved my money to a fixed acct. Obama or McCain, Obama or McCain, oh my, oh gee, who will be president?! I am not McCain's "FRIEND" as he so frequently refers to the audience he has never met, doesn't care about now nor ever care about in the future. Obama is such an orator, I just hope he has more than that going for him, because I believe he will be our next president. Maybe he will go in for a refresher course in Economics before he takes office!
