Now that Obama is president...

[Nathon Detroit]

What now?

The good news for Massachusetts is we will get rid of John Kerry, as Obama has promised Kerry a position. Let's hope the job isn't one where Kerry can do too much damage.

The other thing to expect is many promises broken, and anytime something goes wrong, Obama and company will still find a way to blame Republicans and Bush...no matter HOW long it's been.

Oh...and Obama has already said outloud that "necessarily" we can expect energy prices to "skyrocket." Expect much higher unemployment, as well.

Anyone who has listened to him speak...really listened...knows what to expect.

He is on tape, from this past January, making the comment about energy prices "skyrocketing" if he is elected. Those are his words...not mine.

No. You have zero evidence of such a convoluted claim.

Someone just phoned me and ranted about how Obama is the Antichrist who will bring world peace:spam: (fellow Canadian).

The cold must be affecting her brain. American citizens in Canada seemed to have voted for him. Your election was followed 100x as close as our recent election (Stephen Harper is our Prime Minister and is a fellow believer in Christ).

Snopes.com says the rumor is false, so it must be false!

Nothing will really change. Obama is about to get a hard slap in the face by reality. When he tries to get all his spending and wealth sharing programs up and running he will quickly discover that the country cannot afford it and the fed will (or at least should) stop him from doing anything totally stupid. The republicans retained enough seats so that there is not a filibuster proof margin and that helps. All the senators and congressmen will go back to their greedy self-centered ways and little will change.

I agree with that assessment.

The status quo will remain. Aside from some window dressing, business as usual will prevail. The show must go on.

Most of that is true, but what makes you think the FED will stop him? They didn't stop Bush did they?

 

[GuySmiley]

Barak will announce that now that he's been briefed, the problems are worse than he thought. The tax cuts wont happen, tax increases will go far below the $250k limit he promised, and the media wont hold his feet to the fire.

I think CB is merely saying that Barack will not be able to do everything he wants to do.... clearly he will get some of his idea's implemented, but on balance not much is going to happen.

I don't think that they can "stop" him, but maybe they can offer him some good advice that he will be willing to follow.

All black people will get off welfare, pay attention in school, get good paying jobs and respect authority.

Wouldn't that put them well ahead of a fair number of white people? :idunno:

Many of them, yes.
