Obama v McCain
- Thread starter Tigerfan
- Start date
As Alexander Downer was pointing out this arvo on the ABC this is not a very good result for Australia trade wise.
Obama is pretty keen to introduce a lot of protectionist measures.And the worse the economy gets the more likely he is to do so.Along with further deficit spending.
Potentially bad for the world economy too as T74 alluded.
Smoot-Hawley,anyone.

During the primaries he talked about renegotiating elements of NAFTA, but some were saying that was just to get the unions on side. If he pushes this stance however, the US/Aust FTA would also have to be under question, and the attempts to jumpstart the next level of trade liberalization can almost be canned.
This being said, what a candidate says, and what a president does, can be two very different things.

Don't know whether he will be a good President or not.
I think the way people are going on about him and the hype, you would think the only thing this bloke couldn't do was walk on water!
So my jury is out on him still....I think many people who voted for him wasn't because they wanted him as President, more that they didn't want another Republican after Bush.
Interesting also to note that a white war hero was up against a black bloke.....and guess who became President?
Says a lot about the tripe on another thread around here about blacks and their excuses in life and the "disadvantages" they face.
If you want to make something in your life you can do it, no matter the history of your race or your own personal background.
So on that, well done Obama!

Reminded me when I said that it was ironic the first Islam to play in the AFL was playing for a team called the Bombers.....gee, didn't I cop it, now its your turn! ;D
I heard a variation on that one from John Stewart on how far the US has come:
the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind
