国际英语新闻:Disappointed U.S. voters head to polls nationwide
In Chicago, one businessman expressed his discontent for the current administration after casting his ballot this chilly morning.
"I don't like Obama's administration," he said, declining to give his name.
"He is just doing what he truly believes is right," he told Xinhua, citing the economic stimulus measures Obama has taken to revive the economy. "But I think it's misguided and incorrect, he is too young and inexperienced."
The man also hit on the issue of regulation, which is vexing many in the business community.
"There are too many regulations on business," he complained. " Many companies have a lot of cash but are unwilling to invest it because there are so many uncertainties and more people are just starting to lose their jobs."
Those sentiments reflect those of many in the business community who said they are reluctant to hire, as they cannot plan for the future because they are unsure of what taxes or regulations will come next from Washington.
Meanwhile, a steady stream of voters was turning out to cast their ballots at another polling station in the Chicago area.
Deodoro Sandovel, a retiree, said: "President Obama is from Chicago and probably has an impact, although many people are not too satisfied with him right now. I can only wait to see what happens for the result. All I expect is the best for our country."
