The Obama thread - Without flaming!
Obama will soon be the US president and it will be a new for the US...the first black president.
What do you
- Approve of him
- Disaprove of him
- wish he tackles during his presidency
Personally, I approve:
- his push for technology. He will probably be the 1st US president to have a PC/laptop on his desk at the white house and his push for the use of a blackberry
- his push to revitalize the middle class. They are the one that need the most help and leveling the US population will be a great start to help the US recover
- his push to fix the health care system. His current revitalization plan is supposed to electronize medical records. This is a huge task, which is likely to have much opposition due to its costs. But I believe the benefits outweigh any costs in this case. Also, this allows the creation of technology jobs (most recessions push for infrastructure revitalization). How many times can u not read a physician prescription?! How often are medical records incorrect lost, etc etc)
- I am glad he is not a redneck like Bush/McCain. I followed his campaign to some extent and watched the various debates. Im glad he doesnt want to be king of the world and use war right away. McCain was too biased on security/war issues because he's been involved in them
Disapprove:
- overall im pleased by him..dont have much bad against him. Many see hes full of it, but i believe he has a strong will and good ethics
Challenges:
- Congress/HR/Senate will be his main enemies. Pushing bills is always a hassle with the bipartisanship and strong lobbying. Pushing his revitalization bill will be a testament of how much he can rally support from both sides of the aisle
- Although the various wars going on are challenges (hamas/israel, afghanistan, iraq, iran/nuclear)...i'd rather see him focus on the US
Let's keep this constructive guys/ladies
