Predictions of the (Almost) Inevitable Obama-ship

Been already thinking ahead to the ramifications of Obamessiah being the president. I have predictions based on him having a full democratic congress and senate. This isn't fearmongering. I don't believe the sky is falling. Obama can't do anything that God won't LET him do.
  • One of the first big ones will be the passing of the Fairness Doctrine which is their attempt at shutting up Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk show hosts. They hope to put them out of business (good luck with that)
  • Appointment of 2 of the most liberal Supreme Court judges we have seen. Darth Bader Ginsburg and Grandpa Stevens will step down.
  • Penalizing of the rich under the pretense of "sharing the wealth." The result will be the rich leaving America to live in other countries. This is going to lead to a lack of funds for an oversized government. As a result, the middle class will get taxed harder.
  • Government will continue to inflate as they look for more ways to get their fingers on more of our lives.
  • With the financial district tightening up and loans not being as readily available, more and more students won't be able to go to college. Within the first four years (and hopefully last) of Obama, the idea of socializing college will at least be brought up. Free education for all at the expense of the taxpayer.
  • There will be at least one vote on socialized health care. It won't pass.
  • There will be a vote on gay marriage. It will pass.
  • The church will continue to become more and more liberal. I don't believe there will be any clampdown on any religious rights other than the typical "hate mongering" charges we always get since the time of Ancient Rome.
  • The GOP will continue to split into moderate and conservative. The conservatives will become louder and prouder. Palin will be their candidate of choice in 2012 if she decides to run.
  • My life, other than the government starting to try and run it more, will be unchanged. I will be as loud, opinionated and anti-state and church affiliation. Keep the government out of the church.

Why Obama Will Win...my prediction

It's 100 days till the election and there have been a lot of things going down. I thought early on Obama might make it past Hillary, but I figured she was closer to the center than he was. However, he pulled it out. Since he has gotten the nomination for the Democrats, he is now moving to the center to pull the votes of moderate GOP and Democrats. Looking at his matchup against Obama has me making my prediction. I believe Obama will win a close one. I don't think it will even be a contest. My reason why?
  • People want a new face...something different than a Bush or Clinton. Obama is so new to the political scene, people know little about him and aren't tired of him. Since McCain ran one other time, people know him and he is old news.
  • Obama is slick and good looking. In a rock star culture, he's in. He has an inspiring wit to him. McCain is old and flat. It reminds me of Bush 41 and Clinton.
  • For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 8 years of Bush and people are going to counter the experience with the opposite...Obama.
  • People are voting on feeling this time and honestly not logic. They will vote to end the war, cut gas prices, and they will all think that Obama will answer it. He won't, but they will think he will.
  • World opinion of Obama will help his chances. Sadly, there are those that think the world's opinion of our presidential candidates is just as important as our own. It is in a sense, appeasement of the world. Appeasement never wins. It only asks for more.
