With the economic news as gloomy as the gray skies overhead, Sen. Barack Obama promised thousands of cheering Hoosiers on Wednesday that "there are better days ahead."...Obama -- speaking to a crowd at the grandstand at the State Fairgrounds that the state Division of Fire and Building Safety estimated at 21,000 -- said "this isn't the time for fear or panic." But he acknowledged the anxiety that many feel. In 1980, he noted, Ronald Reagan asked voters whether they were better off than they were four years earlier. The way things are now, Obama said, Americans wonder whether they're better off than they were four weeks ago.
