worried ako kay obama kc bata ni bush to na mahilig sa gera…. saka isa sa mga plataporma neto nung rivalry pa nila ni hilary e tanggalin ang outsourcing sa kanila kc wla daw trabaho ang mga tao sa kanila… ibig sabihin maaapektuhan ang ekonomiya natin neto since madaming IT sources d2 satin pati call center…. sana he decides for what is truly the best for all of us…

November 5th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Malaki ang hamong haharapin ni Obama sa pag-upo niya. Isa na rito kung paano makakabangon ang Amerika..lugmok sila sa utang amounting $11 trillion… San ka pa!
November 5th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
maniwala ba ako na lugmok sa utang ang US… haha
November 5th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Hi, . . . ,
Actually, hindi naman maka anti-outsourcing si Obama talaga. Besides, he’s just like any other leader who would be apprehensive if his people starts to lose job to somebody else. Pero based on his speeches, he was very firm in saying na he would rather push for the creation of new jobs that will not be outsourced. He recognizes the positive effects of outsourcing to countries such as China, India, and, yes, Philippines. Besides, if you’re going to look at it, since most of these countries have been dependent on outsourcing, I don’t think Obama is willing to risk straining diplomatic ties with outsourcing capitals.

I doubt he will put the rest of the world’s interests ahead of the US. Syempre uunahin nya interest ng sarili nyang bansa. And that is when the honeymoon ends and the ‘bama-bashing starts. Vicious cycle, but we’ve sure seen this before.
November 6th, 2008 at 12:49 pm

November 6th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
…..nd ako natutuwa sa nag comment nito:
hirap kasi sa mga pinoy kala mo mga tiga US tapos nakikipag celebrate sa pagkapanalo ng presidente nila. dami nateng problema sa pilipinas oi. yun sana una natin ayusin
… ang opinyon ko, isa kasi ang us sa mga tumutulong dit0 sa pilipinas.. kung nag aral ka ng history d2 sa pilipinas .. malaki ang naibahagi ng america d2..
kaya sa ngayun ,,. na marami nga tayong problema. ang tanung alam mo ba kung anu anu un?
ang may kasalanan nmn ng lhat ng problema d2 sa pilipinas ay ang mga PILIPINO.. tayo in short.
…. . pero wag kang magalit saakin..
November 6th, 2008 at 10:54 pm

ahahaha… me pla and hilary
November 8th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Kakatawa talaga tayong mga pinoy. We always find humor in everything.
OBAMA is a SOCIALIST. You can refer to his conversation with Joe the Plumber regarding this. He wants to take people’s money and distribute it to everyone ( even the bums!) Hardworking americans will have to work even harder to support the bums and people who’s rather do crimes and are fully dependent on the government for everything.
OBAMA is not PRO-POOR, he is PRO-FREERIDERS. He doesn’t understand the fundamentals of economics. He doesnt’ share the sentiments of the poor as he is living in a posh community and in a grand mansion. He was raised of a grandmother who was a VP for a US bank. He lived an expat life when he was with his mother since she worked overseas for organizations like the ADB and Ford Foundation. His leadership will be a control-type of some sort. Since his plans entails harboring more government dependents and taking away people’s hard-earned money to support his planned LARGE government.
OBAMA doesn’t share the african-americans’ sentiments. He is half-white. He was raised by white granparents. His black roots weren’t part of those who suffered slavery in the the US.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA + JOE BIDEN = saddam HUSSEIN + OsAMA BInlaDEN, from chicago with love, zip code 60606, all are coincidences? wait till you find out that the end of the world in December 12, 2012, days when Obama will leave his office… a war within the 4 years, afterwhich we have 1000 years of peace. It’s all happening! Thank you for your support!
November 8th, 2008 at 9:25 am
^Go google that. Just type Barack Obama/Joe Biden osama bin laden connection. what a great coincidence! we will know in the next 4 years, if we get to live since a 3rd of the population will be wiped out! and those who make it wished they never had to see that day… di bale may 1000 years of peace after, LOL
