The election of Barack Obama has left many wondering about its impacts on the US economy. Our resident economist is currently working on a short piece on the topic – in the mean time, lets listen to what developers think!
As usual, my friend Jan Slodicka from Resco’s gets to go first – here is what he has to say:
What impact (if any) do you think that Barack Obama’s victory will have on the mobile market in general?
Sounds strangely, but there is some ratio. Obama’s goal to improve the U.S. broadband coverage for example…
I like Obama as a tech-savvy president, but we’ll see if it outweighs some other problematic goals. (E.g. CO2 pollution)
What impact (if any) do you think that Barack Obama’s victory will have on your company?
I don’t see any direct impact.
Anything you want to add?
Obama wasn’t my favorite (quite frankly – McCain either – I am just old enough to think conservatively), but the U.S. people wanted the change, hence nothing better could happen.

Hi,
Not to say it annoyed me, I just don’t see what you were trying to get out of Jan and Steve.
I happen to like developer perspectives… just on things that are likely to have an effect on the market

Hi Ryan,
ok!
I just wanted to capture the sentiment…it didn’t quite work our apparently., But in today’s media world, everything related to Obama is a minefield…which is why the questions were, um, bland…
All the best
