Is it Hillary or Obama ?

That i s the million dollar question for over an year now.. with both of them having a lead at one point of stage.. The real worry for the market is not hillary shd come or Obama shd come.. the question is will democrats make it ..

  • As long as it is hillary or obama or hillary with obama leading .. or Obama with hillary leading..the economy will look up rather than giving it back t the republicans
