I see this as a slow motion car crash. We started to skid off the road with the republican deregulation of banking and industry. So we overcorrect to get back on the road, by electing someone that appears, and has the voting record to prove, to be far left and wanting to take away from those more fortunate.

Why is everyone dissing obama so harshly, saying he wont pull through with his promises, when he hasnt even become president yet?

He was elected, but he wont even be our president until january and everyone is already bashing him and saying he wont be a good president?

Why dont you give him a chance first to prove himself to you, and if he fails THEN say something, but until then theres no need for all this extra negativity.

What do you think has been happening to the economy for the last 12 months, probably even earlier except big money kept it under wrap? The economy was tanking well before Obama was a serious candidate.

i disagree that he got elected just because he is black. he had the best plan, he had the best campaign by far. he inspired way more voters by fay with his eloquence, charisma and confidence. he won it because he was the best candidate period.

even without the experience i feel he was the most intelligent and best man for the job.

also the way people around the globe are reacting to his election is awesome. and hopefully this will translate to better diplomtic relations with the rest of the worls as well as our foreign policy.
