obama’s win is great for the US. he’s a man with great promise and big hope for the US. hopefully he can really overhaul US from its economic crisis. though i’m just concerned about his platform of disincentivizing US corporations (like imposition of higher taxes) that are outsourcing their works to other countries. this would mean a threat to this US corporation to put back the chunk if not all of the jobs it has outsourced. a lot of Filipinos working for US multinational companies that outsourced their works in the Philippines will be at stake. I just hope the real strategy obama would have would be a win-win solution for everyone.

the movie was Independence Day. wait, Black din ba president sa Deep Impact? i kinda forgot, tee hee

kuya barny: opo, back din po yung president dun

kaku: sabi sa news, yung unang bagay sa agenda list ni obama is yung economic crisis.

I was thinking what racists would do now that there’s a black president.

Congrats Obama..!!
I saw this video at youtube, you might want to check it out.

Barny, the president in Independence Day was white. He’s a pilot. LOL

Deep Impact’s prexie was Morgan Freeman.

Kaku: I’m not sure Obama’s interested ion a win-win solution regarding that issue. He’s elected to cater only to US interests. Democrats are generally protectionist. That’s why the South Koreans are worried about free trade.

LOL at the video, Carlo

I’m also really glad that Obama won, and it is indeed one step of taking down racial barriers, but this move is not the end of racism. We still have long ways to go before that goes the way of dodo.

Anyway, it’s nice to hear you put things into a more equanimous perspective, and, especially, hearing Japan’s POV of the outcome is an eye-opener.

I also happen to think that John McCain took his defeat like a real gentleman. I felt half sorry for him when he conceded. He may be old, and his views rather antiquated, but his will to serve American is rock-solid. I prefer him to Palin and to Bush, at least.

Yeah, some people are just so stupid they won’t give up their racist biases.

Japan and Georgia are countries that are less happy about Obama’s win.

And, well, McCain is the best pick for the Republicans. He’s wrong in a lot of things, but you are right, his patriotism appears to be genuine.

Had Karl Rove and George Bush not resort to dirty tactics (including having, allegedly, a phone brigade campaign to all Republicans in a certain state spreading the gossip that McCain fathered a black child from a black prostitue), Mccain could have been the president from 2000-2008.

I thought his being a maverick was a good virtue. I remember Bush joking that there are three types of Washington politicians: Democrats, Republicans, and John McCain. His patriotism transcended partisanship. Too bad he couldn’t be himself that much during the campaign because he had to please the conservatives assholes.

I guess he’ll spend his last years as a Washington maverick, probably railing against an Obama administration. Palin is exciting, but she sucks. She’s lucky to be a national and popular figure in a leaderless and shambled Republican Party. And she might be president someday. When she gets the chance, America would be ripe for a conservative revival.

I kind of think that McCain’s concession was kind of overrated by Philippine media though. It’s political suicide for an American politician to be a sour loser.

He didn’t sound like a sore loser to me.

It’s political suicide in America for a politician to be a sore loser, that’s why McCain and all other candidates who lost, never appeared to be one. And I thought Philippine media overlooked this when they hailed McCain for his concession speech.

Cool to chat via comment box hehe. I’m off to bed now though
