I suppose this is how capitolism dies, with thunderous applause and open arms to socialism.

i know hes cutting budgets for development of future weapons technology, unproven missile technology etc. etc.

and you don't think this will have a negative impact on the economy? (not to mention future defense capability, with a strengthening China and unstable N. Korea)

If McCain had won there would have been people who would have been disappointed... People who felt our economy was in for a hard stretch... etc...

If this was true explain to me how our stock market immediately fell, even further, upon the anouncement of Obama's win after it had been recovering slowly in recent days. We are in for hard times no matter who had won but ...

You're right, I missed that part of the post. Though I would be more convinced if this were a conversation in person, not one being broadcast. People tend to exaggerate when they know they're being heard by a large audience.

I'm not too concerned with Obama. Honestly we needed somebody heading the country who was going to be energetic, diplomatic and smooth talking, especially after Bush. We needed somebody who could speak well and reassure not only the people of the US, but the people and politicians from other countries. I think he was a good choice in that respect. Aside from that, the president has pretty limited power. He only really has control in emergency situations. He can approve or deny bills and even then his decision can be overridden. Whats really scary here is that the Democrats have the House and the Senate as well. I honestly think that Obama would have been a fantastic President for a republican house and senate. With democrats in full control however there is nothing to stop bloated socialist programs from sliding right on through.

Joe, thanks for your calming opinion.. I don't know that OUR President Elect has a friendly sounding name , but he certainly has a winning personality. Actions speak louder than words. Now, if all goes according to this insightful plan, we shall all have better lives as a result of it. At least on the international level you speak of.
