Presidential Election Distracting U.S.

While Byrne says the toy industry is typically “recession-resistant,” this year also has the presidential election, which could distract some shoppers, and five fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas than last year.

According to this Associated Press article on toys and the recession, the presidential election will distract our nation enough to cause fewer toys to be sold this Christmas. That means a drop in tax revenue, a loss of jobs and pretty soon we’ll look up and notice Iraq has invaded and taken over the United States.

Why do Barack Obama and John McCain hate America? That can be the only reason they continue to keep this election going instead of just having it, say, tomorrow. Please? Can we please have it tomorrow just so it ends? C’mon, what’s the worst that could happen?
