Shit Incoming to Obama

Okay, there is some superb significance in yesterday's US presidential election results, of how someone of minority race can rise to the top. It is something quite spectacular about the fact of how Barack Obama organised his entire campaign and won a landslide victory (or, in the Singapore context, a slim majority) against John McCain.

But seriously, I think this is probably the worst time anyone can be a US president. C'mon, he's gonna have a mega pile of shit in his inbox when he takes over office next year. Okay, forget next year; the shit is coming in now that he's poised to take over. A blood-sucking war that is technically supposed to be over, an economy that is rolling in the mud, a country whose reputation is broken like Windows, a deficit so bad even the debt clock ran out of digits.

If he could solve these problems, he'll be even more magical than the guy who was in office when all these happens.
