Global Economy: US dollar rises amid fears of global slowdown
Pound took a massive beating as US dollar rose to a 37 year high. Global economy is facing a typical "ceiling effect".

Obama & McCain Trade Jabs On The Economy
First McCain’s ad, which once again uses the celebrity meme and opinions from newspaper editorials… Then Obama’s ad, which features McCain’s optimism about the economy contrasted with real people talking about struggling to make ends meet… I think this one goes to Obama.
