What will an Obama Presidency be like?
One of our young partners wrote to me this morning asking some good questions about what an Obama Presidency will look like. Nobody can predict with 100% accuracy. It will depend on how the weight of the Presidency hits this young and inexperienced guy. During the election we saw Obama change his positions from radical left to more of a centrist point of view. Instead of pulling out of Iraq immediately he said he would consider the opinion of the Generals on the ground. He was slammed by Code Pink and Move On for these shifting positions. They would allow defeat to be snatched from the jaws of victory. I believe Obama and his staff will see the necessity to complete the process now that it is 99.9% won. Any miscalculation at this point could cost many American lives and inflame the Middle East. Keep your eyes on Israel for sure.
As Joe Biden pointed out Obama will be tested by ruthless foreign leaders. How Obama reacts to the test will create a tone for the next 4 years or more. If you are my age and recall the Jimmy Carter Presidency you know what I’m talking about. Iran held American’s hostage until Ronald Reagan became President. I was a young child when Kennedy was tested and failed. It almost led to nuclear war according to the programs I’ve watched on the History Channel. Even if Obama turns out to be a weak President few countries will challenge us. After all, you wouldn’t test a sissy if they had a gun pointed at your head and America still has the biggest guns in the world.
I had to wait until the market closed today to see how it would react. Apparently the market does not like the Presidential pick or some of his early cabinet pick announcements. Quote from FBN Floored: Dow Dives 486 Points
Wall Street’s election euphoria disappeared as the Dow took its worst post-Election Day plunge in modern history! We do hope this is not a sign of things to come.
On economics I expect a down turn. Another of our partners (a Democrat) can’t stand the thought that Republicans did anything right. To hear him it has been the Republicans fault for EVERYTHING. We know that is not true when we have Bill Clinton admitting on video that his administration stood in the way of Republicans trying to avoid this market crash and warning him and other Democrats during his Presidency. Most pendants point out there is plenty of blame to go around. Democrats wanted to loan money to folks for houses that they knew could not afford it. Republicans did not fight the Democrats hard enough. Both are to blame.
Foreign affairs may take a turn for the worse from our enemies. On the upside the governments of Europe will probably favor Obama’s Socialist agenda since Europe leans heavily towards Socialism.
Health care will not improve and will get much worse under any kind of universal health care plan. There is no successful model for this in the world. Sure, many countries have free health care but their citizens come here for anything serious when they can afford it. Who wants to wait months to get a simple broken bone fixed or months for biopsy results? By the time you are diagnosed you’ll be dead. But fear not if you have money. There will always be good treatment for those making lots of money (about 5 percent of the population). We can buy our own personal specialists on the black market.
Government secrecy is not in danger with the Dems in charge. You saw how they handled the press who dared to ask hard questions. They black listed them and in some cases called for legal investigations. We may be entering a time of great intimidation from our new Government. We will have to wait to see if the people will take it or show signs of revolt and demand transparency. Admittedly we did not get transparency from Bush. I fear we haven’t seen anything yet!
On the issue of our courts the future is bleak. Rather than nominating Constitutional interpreters Obama will appoint Law Makers to our courts and Liberal ones at that. Gay marriage, abortion on demand and open trials for war criminals is just the beginning.
Our only real hope is if Obama and the Democrat Triad backs off their agenda for the sake of the country. After all, they will want to stay in power. If they get too radical all at once we have one elections cycle to get rid of them too. After they become entrenched and the country becomes numb we could end up just like Europe or worse yet, just like South America.
That’s one opinion. Time will tell if conservatives fear is valid.
My friends, America has taken the wrong path, and has made a terrible mistake.
Please stop comparing Obama to people that stood for what was right and good, such as Martin Luther king Jr. It is true that people need to stop judging people by their race and judge them by the content of their character. Unfortunately, I do not believe that was the case in this election. People thought that it was time for an African American president, no matter what he stood for.
Granite your candidate maybe a good speaker, he is very wrong for America. Your chosen candidate stands for a lot of wrong things: such as having our hard earned money go towards abortions, partial birth abortions (Self explanatory), sex education starting in kindergarten, unnatural marriage, pulling our troops out while America stands unprotected, neglecting to help Israel, which God warns against in the Bible. (Not to mention how unpatriotic he is).
I know that everyone was born with a conscious, and I don’t know how you can sleep at night knowing that when you picked your candidate, you said “yes” to all of these things. Your candidate may very well become a dictator and unfortunately now not only us, but our children will have to deal with the consequences. For those that voted the right way, keep on praying, the end may be near. God help us all and God please help America for following down the wrong path. God Bless America.
Please post as a blog, thank you!
