Illinois Senator Barack Obama has at least a 50 percent chance of becoming the next president of the United States during what has become the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. This week, news editor Sarah Butramovich sat down with Obama's Chief economic advisor, Austan Goolsbee, who was on campus to speak to a political science class about the 2008 presidential race.

Goolsbee is no stranger to the Boston area; he went to MIT and lived in Davis Square, and he is a research associate for the National Beureau of Economic REsearch in Cabridge. He's also an economoics professor at the University of Chicago, where Obama taught, and has been the Senator's chief economic advisor since 2004.

In the interview, he offered his thoughts on what it will be like for Tufts students to find jobs after graduation in a harsh economic climate.
