Obama Wins The 44th US Presidential Election

Yesterday approx. 11.15 AM in my country's time (Indonesia), I saw the TV and found out that Obama had won the election. First, I'd give congratulations for the winning of course.

Well winning was somehow expected by most of the world's. Their reasons were mostly because of that Obama was believed can bring a change for the US. In Indonesia, most people were just dripped in euphoria. I don't exactly know the reason, but maybe Indonesian hopes that Obama will remember Indonesia as his childhood living place. And for that reason, Indonesia and the US will flourish a better relationship.

However, my position is on the economics point of view. Since the first time, I didn't expect either McCain or Obama to be the 44th Presidents of the United States. My biggest concern is on the economics. The election had come in very (I don't know whether) good or bad time because the economic crisis has escalated even more. I hope Obama's policies are going to come true. Moreover, I heard that Obama has a great supporters since these people, like Mr. Buffet, Mr. Galston, Mr. Summers, and others that had worked with Bill Clinton at the hard time also.
So well then, I think I can rely on Obama's policy. And I hope at least in 2 year, this economic crisis will diminish and be gone.

To conclude, I just can make a wish that Obama will work hard to maintain and recover things that has just been turning upside down in Bush Jr.'s leadership. And I'm not hoping much that Obama will give more attention on Indonesia, but at least he puts his attention on the world, because Indonesia's connected to and part of the world, so as long as the world comes around better, Indonesia will do just fine at least now.
