    No, I'm saying I think he was smiling because he heard about something much bigger and more important to him than a basketball game. He was definitely smiling ear to ear during the post-game interview.

    If you make over $250k, you can afford to pay more in taxes.

    Anyone else getting text messages from 310-780-1361 saying "We made it a BLACK PRESIDENT!!!!". I don't know any 310 numbers and keep getting that same message.

    I don't think the news of a black president is as important as the fact that we elected a QUALIFIED one.

    Congrats to Obama.

    I said it months ago, if he's chosen I hope for our country that he's one of the best ever. I'll give him a chance before thinking about who I want to run against him in 2012.

    I do think he's going to have a problem living up to the hype he's created, whether itls his fault or the media. He's raised the bar pretty high before he's even been sworn in.

    Yes, you can say he's still better than what we have now, blah, blah.

    Well, let's see. The Office has turned many presidents hair grey. The pressure is on. Let's let him finally prove how qualified (or not) he is for once and for all and go from there.

    my parents make over 250k and they voted for obama. life is more about than how much taxes you pay. if we're gonna get outta this mess that we're in, we're gonna have to raise taxes. poor people cant afford a tax increase. what does that do to society as a whole? crime would definately go up. thats for sure....what else?

    I assume you are just pokin fun. In case you aren't...

    Says who? If you are fortunately enough to be rich, you only owe it to yourself, your family and loved ones to take care of each other.

    I'm far from rich, but I feel like I'm gettin a lot of money taken from me via taxes. I can't imagine if I were rich and have even a larger chunk taken out.
