Change is here

Whether or not you agree with, or voted for, Obama, it is comforting to know that there is one fewer uncertainty in our uncertain times – we now know who the next president will be. Change is now inevitable, as the new administration will shed new light on everything from the economy to foreign policy to health care. The long and weary season of campaigning is finally over!

As a colleague and I talked over lunch yesterday we were lamenting the depth to which the stock market has recently sunk and the wide day-to-day swings. We came to the conclusion that after the election the markets should at least stabilize as the uncertainty of the election outcome will no longer be a factor. I hope we are right and that energy can now be focused on doing the right things to bolster the economy. That can only be good for small businesses.
