Fuck man, Obama's leading in the latest polls, getting more than half of the popular vote. That must mean that we're over 50% unemployment Economy must be worse than the media is letting on.
But in all seriousness, I think that election day SHOULD be a day off from work. It's getting easier to vote with early voting and just about anyone being able to get absentee ballots in certain areas (my parents got absentee ballots so that they don't have to worry about voting around their work schedule). Still, you always hear how "sad" it is that only half of the population voted, but I'd like to see how those numbers changed if people didn't have to worry about work on election day.
