I just saw a part of the speech of Obama and I was genuinely impressed. That's not something that happens quickly... with Bush I only felt a large amount of disbelief and suspicion. I constantly had the feeling Bush did not mean what he said. But Obama really gives a feeling of hope and allthough I think it will be a tough job, at least America now has a president that the whole world can sympathize with.

Too bad not that many people voted for him because of his policies. We are still in the dark about how much he wants to tax. Biden once said 150,000, while Obama said 250,000. Bush should not be talked about. This topic isn't about him. All I know is that being successful in the U.S. is going to be useless. Obama just going to redistribute my monetary success anyway. Obama is a good speaker, but hes hasn't been completely open about what he's going to do. And please don't say change, this country needs a lot of changes. He isn't guaranteed to be president yet. Maybe the electors won't vote Obama, if something bad happens.

Uh...150,000 for individuals (Biden actually said for SOMEONE who) and 250,000 for families. There's no inconsistencies there other than the one you want to be.

Please explain why you guys even voted for Obama? I mean seriously, I can not think of any way how he is better than mccain.

I think you along with a lot of other people have managed to see past Obama's amazing speeches thankfully.
Granted, Obama makes some flipping amazing speeches, but he has yet to show us anything solid. He has very much yet to prove to us.
Do not forget that with a following like his, gathered by his moving speeches and his similarities to MLK, he can be a dangerous man. A man who has undying support from so many can get away with more than you would think. I'm probably jumping the gun here, and for all I know Obama could be a very good president, but I'm being wary for now.
The politicians who can bend anyone's ear are the most dangerous!

Agreed 100% Im cautious as well, but for all we know he could turn out to be a great president, I doubt it, but who knows, I Wish him the best of luck in improving the country, Anything at this point would help,

Actually there are, at least from Scranton Pennsylvania, and what I understand about what he said was that the only tax relief should go for those and I quote "It should go to middle-class people, people who make $150,000 a year." (New York Post) This also means that the limit as announced by Obama was 250,000, while Biden said that people who make below 150,000 should receive tax cuts. They haven't made any differentiations between families and a single person. They are all people. I could be wrong. I did look it up in google. Just give me a source to be fair.It can't just be for a single person.

Well, thing is, how obama become president ticks me off...not the fact that he is. The race should've been closer b/c mccain was a very strong candidate; he knows of security, he has experience, and he knows how to fix the economy way better than obama. If either was to become president, change was definitely going to occur in our country of turmoil. It will either get better or worse but either president was going to make a difference. I just can't repeat my frustration... why the hell did we chose a man who isn't as well equipped to become our commander in chief? Sincerity and good public speaking isn't what the white house needs but a good leader, and most leaders need experienced. Obama = too young and has done little to actually make change within the country before his run for presidency.

The John McCain the ran in 2008 was not the same John McCain that ran in 2000. If he was, he could have won. In 2000 he ran a campaign based on honor and experience, and he lost to GWB's smear tactics. For the 2008 election he sold his soul to the same hateful fear mongers that got bush elected, only to find out that the American people have had enough.

Biden actually understated the tax break. It's individuals who make more than 200,000 (or families that make more than 250,000), which means people who make 150,000 or less would actually receive a tax break.
