 Sarah Palin threw the first jab a few days ago, and now the McCain campaign has released a Web video detailing the connections between Barack Obama and former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers. Now the Obama machine is firing back with exhumed tales of John McCain’s role in the Keating Five banking scandal nearly two decades after the original affair. Meanwhile, economic crisis has brought Wall Street to its knees and has focused voters' attention on their own finances in a way that has drowned out nearly every other issue.
Question: Should the candidates be more focuesd on what really matters to voters today and not stuff that happened decades ago?

 The world's largest insurance company, AIG, spent $440,000 on a lavish corporate retreat at one of California's top beachside resorts just a week after accepting an $85 billion emergency loan from the US government to stave off bankruptcy. An invoice from the St Regis resort in Monarch Beach, south of Los Angeles, shows that AIG spent $139,375 on rooms, $147,301 on "banquets", $23,380 on spa treatments and $6,939 on golf at an eight-day company event which began on September 22. Just a week earlier, on September 17, the Federal Reserve had to extend a huge credit line to AIG to keep the troubled firm from collapsing due to vast liabilities on risky financial insurance policies."Average Americans are suffering economically," said Henry Waxman, chairman of the House oversight committee. "They are losing their jobs, their homes and their health insurance. Yet less than one week after the taxpayers rescued AIG, company executives could be found wining and dining at one of the most exclusive resorts in the nation." Question: How angry does this make you? What actions do you think the US government should take? |

 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow's milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman.
"PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the statement says. PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health. Question: How would you feel about finding human breast milk listed in the ingredients on your carton of Cherry Garcia?
