I just don’t see how this holiday season will be anything but a bloodbath for retailers with 500,000+ people losing their jobs every month.

Don’t worry. Obama will publish his own ‘little red book.’
Everybody who gets government help on way or another would be required to buy it.
That way, retail recession may go away.:-)

I hope it is; the commercialization of Christmas has long been a sticking point to me, and maybe in late December they’ll think of the birth of Jesus Christ instead of merchants’ earnings. Working or not, hopefully Christians will be able to take a day & focus on what matters. The best thing about Wal-Mart gift cards is that you can buy groceries with them; you don’t have to settle for toxic Red Chinese toys or muscle-sapping video games...

The Obama team can jig the numbers they control - but NOT retail sales numbers.
