I just attended a conference put on by a software company.  This software is used by banks and investment managers and other financial services companies.  So you can maybe imagine the kind of crowd it was; I may very possibly have been the only person there who was not a Republican.  The keynote speaker was some Wall Street type, in fact I believe he appears on Wall Street Week. I found his talk pretty offensive personally, with his assumption that everyone in the room must think as he does, that we are all fixated on money.  He shared some real gems, like when he said that recessions are unpredictable because they can't be predicted.  He said that the election would no doubt have a big impact on the economy, but didn't enlarge on that.  During the Q&A session at the end, someone asked about that.  He said that Obama is too inexperienced.  Hillary, well, we don't want TWO presidents running the country. And McCain is just too old.  The only thing that really matters is cutting corporate taxes.  Then he went on this bizarre rant about his family and liberals.  Riveting.
