As expected, obama is on the frontpage of every broadsheet.
It is sickening.

I read the comments section of the Philippine Star and here are some of them.
(These messages were sent a day before the US presidential election.)
"It's payback time as American voters choose not to elect to the US presidency another republican who is responsible for the financial crisis they are in."
First of all, i believe it was more the American people's fault why they are having a financial crisis. I'm no expert, but from what I understand it is due to Americans borrowing money and not being able to pay back that caused the shit that they are in. it is also partly the fault of banks and lending institutions for giving out money so easily. Again i am no expert but the financial crisis that they started was, for me, partly the fault of government, banks, and the people themselves. So please don't say that the Republicans are responsible for that.
Secondly, it is a financial crisis that not only the US is in but the whole world.

"Obama has a good chance of winning but he won't last because the majority of the Americans are not yet ready for a black president."
He had a hundred percent chance of winning.
As for the Americans not being ready for a black president. I think majority are ready, what obama has to watch out for are the white looneys. White people who got 'White Supremacy' stamped on their forehead.

"If senator obama wins, terrorists will tests his mettle on America's national security with another spectacular attack on US territory."
I totally agree with this comment.

"If barrack obama wins, the US will have its real life suspense thriller, as Jack Bauer portrays in 24. Racial terrorists will do anything to get the first black president out of the all-white White House! The secret service will have nightmares. But, i still like obama."
first of all, do you really like obama? i like obama too.. i like him to die. hehe jk!
For those who don't watch 24, 24 has a black president and he was shot and went into a comma.
hmmm.. racial terrorists? You are nuts. Terrorists are terrorists the same thing that racists are racists. They are there to scare the shit out of everyone, period. They don't care if your black, white, yellow, or brown. Terrorists kill even their own people.
A night before the elections, me and my dad were watching TV.
My dad said that obama will not last long. He will be killed.
and i completely agreed with him and told him..
and yes, i will wait for that day when America's so called "hope" is crushed.

"I'm more concerned with the problems of my own country." -Lydia of Bataan
Lydia, although i do admire your love for our own country, unfortunately it is a concern for us Filipinos who wins the US election. It is unfortunate because our poor country relies too much on the US. A person (i don't remember his name) from the business world even said that foreign direct investment from the US to the Philippines might possibly drop by around 30% next year.
That is big money and employment for our countrymen lost.

I hope that Filipinos be like Lydia of Bataan (lol, special mention talaga hehe).
Love your own country.
Nationalism is lacking in the hearts of Filipinos today.
It is sad but that is reality.
