Will Anyone Miss George W. Bush?

Even the financial gurus think things will be better without George W. Bush.

From Democrats and your foreign portfolio by Barbara Kollmeyer:

…there is much at stake for foreign markets come November, especially if there is a changing of the guard in the White House. As far as analysts are concerned, the fallout from a Democratic win is not easy to decipher, although many say just the image of a fresh start could be a benefit.

"In general, if you want a favorable story on the Democrats win, the major thrust will be there is currently a very negative aspect to U.S. and international relations in general," said Pran Tiku, founder and CIO at Peak Financial Management.

"With that as a backdrop, [a Democrat win] would produce a more favorable climate in terms of dialogue, negotiation and trade opportunities."
