I'm happy a man came into office who knows what it's like to be struggle finanacially. That makes all the difference in the world, he would connect with people who are "poor" and understand their pain.

yeah i can see that......

In December 2007, Money magazine estimated the Obama family's net worth at $1.3 million.[170] Their 2007 tax return showed a household income of $4.2 million—up from about $1 million in 2006 and $1.6 million in 2005—mostly from sales of his books.[171]

Lol my husband did too....And he is in Lebanon I told him We will see what the future holds. I am happy that a change will come... GOD be with us!!!

Nita

ohhh please a friend of mine said in Lebanon they were watching it... and called me to say ask who won when she woke up (no power at that time)... I told her and I heard a bunch of cheering in the background.

My husband is in Spain him and his room mates were huddled around a tv..none of them have ties (except my husband) to the U.S. but it means alot to alot of people

did you see the pics of the people in Kenya???? the world is celebrating

My husband wake me up saying "congratulations for you new president" he is in Spain alsol, he was watching the news also with his room mates and everyone was waiting to hear Obama is the new president, inshallah we will have a change,promises immigration reform if he becomes president.

I was watching Al-Jazeera (arabic) and they seem to like him a lot. I found it funny to see they put up one of those big screens with the US map and they color coded the states like the US news agencies do, but theirs had arabic words on it. Ironic that a middle eastern news agency was reporting this election just as much as the American agencies were, lol.

I find it ironic that all the world was/is so much into the election. My husband had his friends calling him all night long! I finally told him to turn off his phone or to sleep in another room. I'll say it again, there is a reason arabs wanted Obama in the office and I think it goes way beyond what anyone can or will try to comprehend. F.Y.I my husband said it wasn't good that Obama was elected. An arab man of color that isn't jumping up and down. Makes me wonder that's all.

I believe she was commenting on his life growing up...single mom and all that.

I agree. I actually think it's very admirable that he was able to grow up in a single parent home and later become a great success and make millions and still think back on where he came from and want to effect some change and help the vast majority of americans.

Its a shame people are talking about sharing the wealth! Usually these imbeciles are so selfish, and racist they don't know they will one day grow old. I worked in a nursing home for a while. I would see patients with children who didn't visit them, and one part of me felt sad, but one part of me didn't. That's the way they raised them. Change(money) aint nothing, you win some you lose some. However, when you are old and you are alone. Ha! Ha!Ha! this is sharing the wealth. My time is my wealth! My health is my wealth! So, I believe Obama will try to make the open-minded people to work harder to be involved with social programs. What good is wealth and millions when you can't walk by yourself. I heard the oldest people around me talking about "everything will be free" hahaha! what ignorance. Man I have compassion for anyone, but this not wanting to share the wealth is pure greed. A kind of greed that I know will one day bite you in the ###.

tell me this darling. I paid my way through college, went on to get my masters and I make a decent income. Tell me why the hell I should have to share my wealth with some deadbeat that don't work, refuses to work and wants to stay in the system. Why should my hard earned money go to a single woman that cannot keep her legs together and keeps popping out kids she cannot afford? I worked damn hard to be where I'm at today and I believe you have the choice to make yourself what you are. I grew up with hardly a thing. My parents worked hard for what we had and taught me to be the best I can be. I'm sorry, but if you want to be a high school drop out, smoke crack, get pregnant, be irresponsible, that's your own problem, not the hard working tax payers of America.

I'm all for change. Change for the better. I have a feeling the ones that are so excited now will be the ones that will be crying when their own income goes to spread the wealth.

Not ALL single parent homes rely on the "system" nor are single moms or single dads on crack, etc. My aunt is a single mother because her husband died leaving her w/ three young children. Sometimes people need help...She owns her own busines now and the kids are doing great but without a little help when times hit bottom...she'd not be where she is today.

oh, I'm all for helping when a person genuinally needs help. What I'm againist is those that feel they are due the money just because. I just know way too many people that use the system and other that really need help and cannot get it.

I don't get it. Do you both make at least $250,000 in ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME? Seriously if you don't you won't be sharing YOUR wealth. As a matter of fact, if you don't then you're not even considered wealthy.

250k is one number of many being thrown around, others are lower.

You're ignorant...If you think that these are the only people that are receiving help from the government. I just hope and pray...you never need anything and that your life is full of no downs.

Sometimes people get down on their luck. I know in some small towns...business owners lost everything once Walmart moved in. So to say that they are lazy...it's just not right. It's just sad that people would feel this way.
