What kind of change do you want to see now that Obama is president-elect?


“I hope to see what he promised ... He’s really upbeat and like he said, a change. I want to be united. I also want to see foreign relations that are stronger.”

“As I’m focusing on business, I’d mostly want the economy to improve essentially before I’m done with school here. That’s the biggest factor.”

freshman

“I think his health care plan is the thing I want to see. Just because I guess the idea of a universal health care system is a really good one.”

Jennings Gamble, freshman

“Obama’s tax plan that he has, I don’t think it’s too great ... The middle class is so big that if you give them tax breaks right now, I don’t think it’s gonna help our country. I’m hoping that what he says comes true.”

Joe Sim,

freshman

well first thing i'd like to see the daily apologize for most of the reporting they've done in the past four weeks (months? years?) and then i'd like to see some staff reassignments and then i'd like to see an article printed somewhere in your paper that, for once, is relevant to me as a human being.

Good luck -- it'll be Obama's *second* term before things *really* turn around.

“I think his health care plan is the thing I want to see. Just because I guess the idea of a universal health care system is a really good one.”

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Obama does *not* have a universal health care plan...
