If these RWE nuts think everything is just "hunky-dorry", let me give you some anecdotal evidence that Camelot is going to come to an end for Shrub. Each Saturday morning I go down to my local Barnes & Noble, get my tall Starbucks and pour over the weekly issue of Barron's. Each week they(B&N)get in 50 copies of Barron's and by the end of the week(Friday)they still have about 25 copies left on the rack. I went to B&N this afternoon and guess what? There was only 2 copies of Barron's left on the rack. Now what does this mean? It means plain and simple....people are concerned with what is happening to their pocket books, their retirement funds and their future. There is a large retired group living in my community and this afternoon, waiting in the check out line at B&N I saw two couples waiting to pay for a book purchase....guess what book they each had? "How to Buy Bonds". Meaning....the concern and frustration level is high and history shows...people vote their pocket book. And finally, one more little tidbit of the mood in this country. I call my sister each Sunday for a chat(She lives in another state) and I never hardly ever speak to her husband, but tonight he asked to speak with me. Guess what he wanted? Some answers and reassurances on what is happening to his retirement..he is 70 years old! He is concerned and upset! Geez! And the RWE think they have the saviour in Shrub...
