Thank you all for participating in today's live stream. You can see the full show right here at 8 pm. Join us tomorrow at noon eastern for a discussion of the financial crisis and what the end of the Washington consensus means.
Because of the disproportionate impact of U.S. foreign policy on the rest of the world, the presidential elections take on a global significance that is often overlooked. Suffice it to say that the global community is watching closely. With a highly unpopular outgoing president who has alienated even close allies the stakes this year are particularly high. Today we discuss the US presidential election and its impact on the rest of the world with Deepa Fernandes, the host of WBAI's Wake Up Call, Hooman Majd, the author of the Ayatollah Begs to Differ, and David Brooks, U.S. Bureau Chief of the Mexican Daily La Jornada.
We start at noon

I was wishing for a while that Rove was on our team because he could fix it so that people around the world could vote. Obama would win for sure.
Laura this is my question for your program on the economic crisis.
Over the last three weeks we have heard our leaders and alleged experts call the economic crisis a “bailout a rescue, an investment (they backed off of calling it this really fast) and a recovery plan” What the hell is it?
what does Wall St. have to pay back?
I call it the biggest in side U.S. treasury heist in our history.
