Many global business leaders view Sen. Barack Obama as a “smiling protectionist” and Sen. John McCain as a “grumpy free trader.” Those are the opinions that Thunderbird Dean of Research Mansour Javidan, Ph.D., hears about the U.S. presidential candidates as he travels the world. “However, these business leaders are not convinced that Sen. Obama will embark on a nationalistic or protectionist strategy, if elected,” Javidan said Sept. 20 during a panel discussion in New York organized by Bard College’s Globalization and International Affairs Program.

It is very obvious that many Americans were so happy with the outcome of this year’s presidential election, while several were disappointed with it. And we can’t deny the fact that others are still having doubt on Obama’s strategy for our country. Election Day is behind us, and America has a new leader but yet many questions couldn’t find the answers. The U.S. has chosen “change” by electing Barack Obama. That change is in store for the United States without a doubt. Whether the United States changes for the better or for the worse is yet to be seen. It’s obvious that Americans believe Obama will bring a positive change to our country. Obama has promised the U.S. a lot of things like lower taxes for the middle class, putting a timeline on the war in Iraq, and trimming the federal budget “line by line.” What many Americans don’t realize is that Obama has also supported the elimination of the payday loan industry. Obama thinks doing away with the payday loan industry will protect low-income, and often minority, families from being victimized by predatory lenders. However, getting rid of the payday loans is a violation of our financial freedom. Perhaps, Obama will give a good change to America, but taking away our financial freedom isn’t a great start to creating positive change.
