Not too long ago I said to a friend of mine, "The people of this country will be its downfall." Sadly I think I am correct.

Unfortunately there are many factors that contribute to economic collapse, and Joe Bob's life isn't one of them. Spending is decreasing, people are slowly starting to pay off their debts, regardless of the bullshit stimulus programs. Furthermore, Joe Bob doesn't have any say in what the foreign countries who own us, will do.

Which further leads to Joe Bob being easily convinced to vote fora candidate. If Joe Bob got fucked over during the recession or knew friends that did (IE lost their jobs etc) due to no fault of their own, he might be more likely to vote for a candidate that says, "I will protect the working man from the greed of Wall Street." You don't need to give Joe Bob a speech in economics, debt management, deficit spending or anything like that. You just have to convince him he will not get fucked over.

Not sure if you're saying most of the country is pro Obama, because every single poll you find will say the exact opposite. I would prefer McCain for war, and Obama for peace, although it looks like Obama is making a hell out of peace.

No, I am not saying the country is pro-Obama. I am saying that people vote for a candidate for a lot of reasons and many people support a candidate and don't know anything about them or what they really believe in or support. Most people are easily manipulated. This is part of the reason I think Obama will win re-election. The guy is a hell of a speaker and he is very convincing. Many people don't need hard facts, they just need to be told what is happening and they buy it.
