It's The Economy Stupid: Another Reason Why Obama Will Lose

It seems like all politics is local and few people care if the jobless rate came down to 7.8%.  The job less rate in Nevada still is over 12% and prices are rising.
The family went to McDonalds 2 nights ago and placed an order of just sandwiches- not the expensive $5 ones, but of McDoubles, Chicken Nuggets, Daily Doubles, Fish Sandwic and a chicken BLT.  We didn't order any drinks or desserts.
The bill was north of $30.  Just last year, you could feed the family for around $18 at McDonalds.
Yesterday, when I went home to work, gas at a Food 4 Less gas station was $3.55 a gallon.  When I came back to school to watch the football game, the gas price was $3.63 a gallon- an 8 cent jump in price in 4 hours.
As Bill Clinton said, it's the economy, stupid and the Las Vegas local economy sucks.
