SO... what are we in for? Feel free to make predictions, as well.
If he follows through with what he said about coal plants, our home energy costs are going to skyrocket.
If he makes Rev Wright his official spiritual advisor, it's going to be a bad time in America for whitey.
If he lets his wife make any decisions, white people will be enslaved for a year as a learning experience.
Ok, maybe not that last one.

I predict federal money is going to go to "bailout" newspapers. So many of them were in the tank for Obama, now it is payback time.

QUOTE But I wanted to vote Jimmy Carter and assinated in office. Historically, presidents assassinated in office get their previously-opposed pet projects passed by congress as a "sign of respect," or some such thing. Â Lincoln and Kennedy, anyway. Â Wasn't there a 3rd president assassinated? Â No coffee yet this morning. Â Garfield?
So....... in a way I'd like to see him do his 4 years, and as long as things don't get... really bad.... just let him be so bad that he ensures a CONSERVATIVE federal government for the 20 years after that. Â Not necessarily republican.
Things can go either way, or neither. I honestly hopes he is a great President, but my expectations on the least-vetted president in modern history are low.
Oh, also, when does the government start paying my mortgage? Â I heard that was a perk.

The problem for Barrack and the Democrats is that this past election was a one time thing. People turned out to vote who don't normally turn out to vote. This wasn't anti-Bush, this was a vote about the economy and a unique candidate with a campaign built mainly on hype. The additional turnout obviously helped the Democrats in other races too. Â
Now the Dems have to live up to expectations or they know they're going to lose the next election.
The same amount of people are going to turn out for the Republican candidate. However, the same cannot be said for Barrack. He's going to lose some votes simply because everyone who turned out for him this time will not do so again. -Some folks who only voted this time won't be interested in turning out for a "non-historic" election. -Some honkeys will be over their "white guilt" vote. -Some folks will be unconcerned due to him being the incumbant and simply won't bother. -More importantly though, he stands to lose more votes based on job performance than the Republicans.
But this is a conversation for 3 years from now...
For his first term, I voted mediocre. It's too early to truly tell what is going to occur and we won't get a true sense of it anytime soon thanks to a ridiculously biased media.
The only thing I fear out of an Obama presidency is potential socialist policies being enacted and his nominations to SCOTUS. Everything else will handle itself.
Focusing on the positives I will now tell any black person talking about racism to shut the fuck up as they've proven themselves to be the most racist people in this country. I also think this is a good thing for the U.S.'s general image both home and abroad. Let's face it, Bush was not a popular guy anywhere and the Republicans needed some time out of the spotlight to let his memory fade from their party.
So the only big predictions I can make are the same ones I've been making: -Crime will increase under president Obama. -The MSM will be less negative about the economy.
P.S. The man is a U.S. President so I obviously do not want to see any sort of attempt on his life. On top of that, no attempts would be another gigantic "shut up" to those folks who think black people in our society are oppressed. For years every comedian in the country has joked about the first black president being assassinated. That gunshot never coming would be one seriously loud statement.

Now I have to wonder, can we ever again have a WASP male President? Or will the next nominees have to be hispanic, or a woman, or jewish, or gay (Not that there's anything wrong with that), or whatever else, in order to compete in getting out voters excited for the historical signifigance?

Not a lack of love, just sometimes a need to put your vote to something other than a lost cause.

I'm not sure. There is no rational arguement that will convince them, because it is a totally irrational stance held mostly by irrational people. You need to find a purely emotional reason to shift them to being willing to go 3rd party.

A 3rd party person would have to run as rep/dem just to get elected. Then, once in office, do the 3rd party thing their whole term. Then, spin it as being all rep/dem stuff the whole time to get relected.
