Cash for Clunkers = fail
Healthcare Reform = fail
Pull out of Iraq = still waiting…
Closing of Guantanamo = still waiting…
Positive impact of massive government spending = none so far

I think it’s great that we as a country elected a black president… but when are we gonna start holding him accountable for his actual deeds rather than his rhetoric?

I’m not from the US but having found out that Obama won, I actually felt good and thought that maybe, this time, there would be a positive change and that all other countries would be affected by that change.

Change has been gradually happening in many other countries in the last 12-24 months, even Australia. Obama is a pretty cool guy. Congratulations.

Are you out of your mind? Sorry…… Don’t mean to be insulting but I for one DO NOT want to live in a socialist country. Obama made a lot of promises and he will not be able to deliver without taxing us to death. His speeches may sound good and give people a good feeling but the reality is, he will destroy this country. I am not a big Bush fan but at least I have some freedom. Not so sure about what is to come.

I’m happy that he won. The feeling on voting day was just electric, so it was great to have been a part of that. I think McCain is also a great man, he just was not the right guy, at the right time, for this job.

Good to see you back again!

I am also happy Obama won. Last thing the world needed is another Bush. Unlike you though I wasn’t too impressed with Obama’s speech, I found it uninspired, strangely enough I thought McCain’s speech was way better.

The one thing that Obama stands for in my mind is a signal to the world that we screwed up by electing ‘W’ and that we are truly sorry. If anyone can flash back 10 years ago, our country was doing pretty well – in my view, and in many people’s views.
He represents an America that knows that it is on a slippery slope and that we have to do something far out of the box to fix it.
Obama may not have all of the experience in the world, but he is definitely an icon for change – to America, and to the rest of the world.

I’ve never heard that particular speech before. Gives me a little more insight after watching it.

After 8 years of our country being raped and pillaged by the outlaws that are the Bush administration, I am happy at least to have them on the way out. Whether or not Obama will be able to accomplish anything hinges on cooperation from both parties. I pray that the Secret Service keeps him and his family safe. Now, we can either spend our time in fear that Obama will ruin our country further, or we can take responsibility for our own actions, repulse GREED and move on. The President Elect will not have all the answers and he should be admired for even taking on this job. It seems to me that the ones whining the most now are the ones that have money and don’t want to be taxed like the rest of us.

I am certainly not pleased, and I did not vote for this man who for many years attended a racially driven church. As far as I am concerned, along with many other reasons, he is an enemy of capitalism and free enterprise. He wants to “spread the wealth around.” In other words, he wants to impose an “ambition tax” on anyone with the drive and determination to live their passion and make money. I think many Americans were just wanting a wardrobe change. Unfortunately, they failed to look underneath at the price tag.
