Galing ng election sa US isang araw lang alam na ang resulta

tapos tinatanggap agad yung mga natalo ang pagkatalo

Kailan kaya tayo magiging ganito?

The first mulatto president... actually. ;)

I just hope he's up to the task. He's got big shoes to fill, and he will need the help of good advisors to pull America out of this mess.

Tougher still cause let us be honest. There will enemies of Change. All you will need is one crazed right wing fanatic to unravel his dream. Not to be the one to cast gloom but we do know that most people who are seen to want to bring change attract a certain type of crazy. They must be vigilant as this is just the first step in a long journey. One he must complete.

Obama plans to increase taxes on the "rich"

that's where he will meet a lot of resistance

The Bush administration's key 2001 and 2003 income-tax cuts will expire on Jan. 1, 2011. Obama wants to end only the breaks that benefit individuals who earn more than $200,000 a year and families that earn more than $250,000.

He faces at least two hurdles: Most Republicans are dead set against his plan, and his proposed tax changes would cost the Treasury $2.95 trillion over 10 years, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. That may be unaffordable.

I guess taxing the rich on a personal level isn't all that bad. But corporations should not be taxed any higher (better yet taxed lower) so investments can increase.
