Oh my, we mustn't say bad things about the new messiah. You should look at the political compass web site sometime to see how different the US politicians actually are.
Obama is going to be like any other US president: optionally do some good things, not change some things and make some things worse. The biggest contribution he is likely to make is let us get back to not being embarrassed every time we see our president in the news (well, that and do something sensible about this infernal war).
- wheels 18y agoHuh? He said entreprenuers are going to start fleeing the US and flocking to Chile because of Obama. That's just dumb. Your reaction is equally ... bewildering. I'd rather keep politics off of this site entirely because they have a tendancy to degenerate into knee-jerky stuff like that.
- jbjohns 18y agoFair enough, I guess I have too many people around me here in Europe that have much too high expectations to the point that I start seeing in more places then it is. I agree about keeping away from politics, and now that you mention it, people flocking to Chile because of a change in president is a silly idea. People couldn't even get Richard Gear to leave after voting in W twice.
- brl 18y agoNo, you just must not say them here. Political discussions about the US president are inappropriate and off-topic for a thread about Argentina on a forum about 'Hacker News'.
