Pres. Barack Obama's Next Move

Pres. Barack Obama's Next Move

What will he say, how will he take the country, what will we see from him? This Thread now talks about Barack Obama as President and not merely running for President in the previous Thread about him: HERE.

Well, if his acceptance speech is any indication, that lady that thinks her mortgage is getting paid and gas will be free...might have to wait more than a year or 1 TERM to get it! There was a awful lot of time symbolism in this speech. Saying that it might take more than a year or TERM to get things done...I am assuming these are all the campaign promisses that cannot be fulfilled.

Even the recollection of the 106 year old lady voting in Atlanta underscores that it takes a long time for change. Sure she saw a lot of change, but it took 106 years to see and he only has 4 years. Sounds like the backpedalling has begun!

Hope I am wrong!

Good Luck President Obama (I know it is President-Elect, but that sounds stupid)

I did not vote for him, but I will give him a chance to lead our country and will support him until he gives me a significant reason not to.

My kids will be affected by his policies and that is why I hope that he doesn't start governing too far to the left, (or he will be a one term president in my opinion).

I just hope Biden's predictions of a international "test" do not come to fruition. I think it would be very interesting if, due to unforeseen circumstances, he had to take this country to War, and had to buck the Code Pink and Moveon.org wing of his party. Then you would see some very shocked constituents.

Congratulations to President and First Lady Obama!

I appreciated Obama's speech -- brief, to the point, and clearly making a statement of dignity and humility. Remember Clinton/Gore? Those guys were high-fiving each other; how silly for presidential men to behave.

Obama talked about protecting those who love peace, and standing up to those seeking to destroy. Them's fightin' words. We'll see how he backs all that up.

He calls for "service, sacrifice" and "calloused hands" working to get the country moving. Um, I don't think that's what some folks had in mind. It will be interesting to see how fast they turn on him when things don't turn out like they imagined.

I hope folks can at least give the man the benefit of the doubt as the transition moves forward in the next few months.

Just imagine, Kenya declared it a national holiday to celebrate Obama's victory. Not even the US does that for her own. Japanese supporters have also been celebrating. They have their own Obama food, jerseys, hats, etc. Obama seems to reaching into the hearts and minds of people around the globe. I hope he does not disappoint.

Comments: Congratulations to Barack Obama on winning the election

We congratulate Barack Obama's win in the presidential elections with all our heart. This is a milestone in 232 years of American history as Obama is the first African-american to be elected president of the United States. African-americans have suffered from immense discrimination in the past but the election of Barack Obama has proven that discrimination exists no more in America. The advanced democracy of America will be a model example for every other democratic nation including Korea where discrimination such as regionalism and academical sectarianism never seem to cease in a small area of land. Continuous interaction under the firm US-Korea alliance with the US is crucial in order for advanced democracy to take root in Korea. America has played a pivotal role in Korea overcoming the recent financial crisis and Korea will be more than willing to return the favor if such a situation arises. We hope for an everlasting bilateral alliance between the nations and for the alliance to continue to be beneficial for both parties.

I hope he helps the US economy. I do know that he has control of the house and senate with the democrats getting control of both houses. This could mean some sweeping changes.

Yes, the economy seems to be the number one concern of US citizens at the moment. What is his stand on immigration?
