In less than 24 hours, Barack Obama, the self-championed Mocha Messiah will become the new president of the United States and take upon himself the heavy burden of an eroding economy, a faltering geopolitical position, and a decline in general living standards. What will this bring to bear? Sweet fruits which will sweeten the air, or rotting flesh which will lay low the notion of the "Magic Negro"?
In my opinion...this election will be a dud. Obama will win, Obama will be in office, and Obama will not do anything which will not go unscrutinized, uncommented, and unfairly criticized by the media and its favorite conservative watchdogs. We will see him almost certainly bumble around the Middle East. In his foreign policy, a continuation of what the last administration has done is the only plausible action which will not result in a massive defacing of American military and geopolitical prowess. Israel will continue to have our undying support and Iran will only see more daggers issuing forth from our eyes.
As our economy stumbles, Obama will attempt to prop it up with tax incentives and populist "soak-the-rich!" campaigns aimed at redistributing wealth on the poor man's behalf. One can expect half-hearted socialism from Obama and all of his democratic colleagues. In fact, the only major contribution Obama will make to the situation is a stiffening of taxes on the upper 30% making over 200,000$ a year in income. All of the protectionism initiated by Bush and his cronies can be expected to carry-on well into the future.
Hopefully, by the grace of whatever god you believe in, all of our businesses here in the US can be partly owned by the Government. In fact, why not just make them a permanent part of the Government? Yes, it is a nice and sunshiny future laying in store for us. One day, probably in the first 100 days, Obama will give us a new domestic military force he foretold. Instead of calling them something as obscene as "brown shirts", we could perhaps call them "black shirts" or "rainbow shirts". Either way, these men and women would do well in keeping the order and civility of society intact. Where there is a riot against the Government, they will be there, where ever there is a thought of revolt, they will be there! They will be there, in your community, watching and waiting for any sign of disillusionment with the government that rules you, the corporation that feeds you, or the society that keeps you in shackles.
