Obama Elected as Next President of US!

"Korean netizens congratulate Obama and strongly support him"

On Nov. 5^th, as expected, Democrat Barack Obama won the presidential election.

The US is a country where equal opportunity is guaranteed to everyone, enabling people of all race and religion to enjoy the same opportunities.

In that sense, Obama's victory is even more encouraging and as we applaud him, we expect to see him make further developments.

We hope Obama will persevere in keeping world peace, protecting the global environment and most of all overcoming the current global financial crisis through wise economic policy.

Korea's netizens look forward to seeing Obama and his new team hold cooperative and close relations with Korea.

Duci novo, similis duci seneci.
(Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss)

Sums it up nicely. Except that no one can fuck up quite as badly as Bush, so maybe that's not fair...

Dear Folks,
I live in South Korea, and it is most refreshing to read such a warm welcome for our new president. My family has high hopes for him, as he will be largely responsible for helping us to move to the U.S. ... if he keeps even half his campaign promises. He and his fellow Democrats, who now dominate congress, who have been campaigning for decades to move the U.S. towards a more socialistic state (more like the ideology of North Korea), should make health care for my family free. I have five children, and we pay only 145,000 won here in South Korea for health insurance; whereas, we would have to pay tens times that in the U.S., per month. The same thing is true for child care. We pay nothing here for day care (thanks to the government subsidy), but would have to pay 800 dollars a month in the U.S. ... pre Mister Obama. After Obama, maybe sometime next Spring, if all goes as planned, we may have free child care AND free health care for my family, and I will be able to retire, and move my children to the U.S. where they can study in English. Though they have never left this country, and the oldest is now 10, they have not learned enough Korean to understand what goes on in public school. That,and my wife wants them to get out of the South Korean public school system. She went through it and thinks it has little value other than the obvious babysitting function.
Obama is now pledging to enhance America's military presence about the world so I would not worry about his ability to continue keeping the peace. I would not worry, either, about him continuing to maintain America's specific commitment to keeping a powerful military presence here in South Korea, land of the morning calm.
Love, Nathaniel

The funny thing about that last message was that it probably wasn't written by someone from Japan... maybe someone from a country that is full of people who dislike Japan and the US?
