US with Obama and how Americans feel about him

February 12, 2009 4 comments Politricks

Always curious about the atmosphere that’s created after Barack Obama won the US presidency, I compiled lines from customers(North American corporate business group using Dell computers) who answered my question “How’s the atmosphere in there with Obama as the president?” during our troubleshooting sessions.

Ken said, “I’ve always wanted to have a leader to rule like it’s business. Government is business. He’s ideas are great but it will still be about who he surrounds himself with.”

Mary said, “Obama stands for hope. We need it.”

Ramona said, “In general its hopeful. We had a hard 8 years with Bush. We wanted him out but we just couldn’t. Bush was an arrogant stupid person. What can I say?”

Adrian said, “Happy for it. Everybody is pretty much into it now.”

Diane said, “I think people got hope after Bush. I think that guy was stupid. He brought this country down. He’s the lowest rated American president ever!”

This entry will be updated as soon as I get customers not busy enough to just focus about resolving their computer’s problems only.

I woke up early this morning. That’s unusual for people working in a callcenter. The reason for that is my absence from work last night. Our unpredictable shifting schedules lately, which I blame on the untimely forecast of the people responsible, has caught up with my health and my drive for work. That is not what this post is all about though. This is about the nearing United States Presidential elections.

I caught up with the live cast from one of the amplitude modulation radio station here in Cebu. Mr. Gore was on. The choice of media is not because I prefer radio over television but because I don’t have a tube and my computer’s AVR(automatic voltage regulator) decided to not work. Radio is the only medium available.

Oooh, the sweeet talks! (Continued…)
