Meanwhile the McCain camp said it had no plans to release a CD of its own however spokesman Tucker Bounds commented "It's ironic that on a day when the economy is in turmoil, Barack Obama fails to release an economic plan, but instead chooses a celebrity rock album." While I like the idea of leveraging the internet and all of it's wonder for this year's presidential race I have to agree that in the past week and into next week everyone is now wondering what our next president has planned to help solidify our currently very volitale markets. Hopefully in the next few weeks and during the debates, the canidates can focus on what they plan to do instead of what the other has or has not done.
