The Next President: Barack Obama

Barack Obama has won the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election. Congratulations are certainly in order. He has certainly accomplished something that few before him have been able to do.

As a tax lawyer, I am most interested in what the Obama administration will bring to the tax laws, tax policy and tax administration. Throughout his campaign he has made promises about certain changes in tax policy that he would like to see in place. With the democrats in control of both the legislative and executive branches, I expect that we’ll see some swift changes (including to the tax laws) in his first 100 days. I am looking forward to seeing how those changes take shape.
