As per Dalwhinnie’s post below, it seems that Obama is already providing boost to the US economy with some sectors reporting increase in sales of 10-30% just this month.

As I write, an early snow storm has covered Ottawa in white, though some leaves are still greenish yellow. Welcome to the new Ice Age.
It is hard to maintain the keen knife-edge of mental and spiritual combat against the Forces of Darkness every waking moment of the day. Moreover, it is harder to be excited all the time about impending Doom. I refer both to Obama and to panic in the markets. Arran Gold recently attributed my calm in the face of Obama to getting a cushy job. This is true, as far as it goes. But how far does the prospect of a few years of financial security cause this apparent lack of concern? Not far at all.
To start: If I had a vote I would vote for McCain. I am not persuaded by Obama in the least.
I am, nevertheless, not predicting the overthrow of the Republic, the overturning of the Constitution, the permanent enthronement of identity politics and political correctness and the transformation of the United States into a socialist refuge for NDPers fleeing the Conservative reformation of Canada.
