Now that the American people have decided to elect their first "fashionable" president, here's what you have to look forward to:

1). Strict new gun laws will be enacted even though he promised he would not.

2). The phrase 'In God We Trust' will almost certainly be removed from our currency.

3). He will back away from his pledge to Israel and leave them to the wolves of Islam.

4). Hillary Clinton will be named to the Supreme Court. (Hey, he had to have promised her something folks.)

5). Tax rates will return to their highest levels in 30 years.

6). The capital gains tax will be at least double current levels.

7). Retired Army General Wesley Clark will be named Secretary of Defense. This is the General who was fired for 'integrity' issues.

8). The borders will be 'basically open' to all comers ... especially those from the Middle East and South America.

9). Amnesty will be granted to all illegals now in the U.S. regardless of status or even if gang members (MS-13).

10). The war in Iraq will be brought to an abrupt end, the results will be tragic and the consequences to our military will be devastating

I suggest you buy a gun (if you don't already have one), stock up on ammo, convert your assets to gold and hide it all in off-shore accounts and find a nice quite place to hunker down for at least the next four years.

You may also want to stock up on cigarettes; I don't know about you, but I always like a smoke after getting screwed.

  Do you have any, I mean ANY evidence of these things. Or is your obvious stereotyping guiding YOUR vision for OUR future.
  
  Stop whining. It's not becoming of your candidate.

    So I guess for the last eight years, you've had a cigarette constantly in your mouth. Well now you can have a pack and a smile and relax.

    Go buy your guns and barricade yourself because we the people don't need the negativity you are giving off,there is enough in the world today already. Your 2 cents are not worth it.

George Soros finally got what he wanted! I have a feeling that his influence is going to extend well beyond the campaign stage. Everybody was touting what a great campaign Obama was running. But he wasn't running it. It was running him. With enough money you can buy anything. You can buy extreme order. George Soros is going to continue coddling Obama through his presidency to make him look good. He will likely be in contact with foreign leaders, buying their cooperation and easing their fears. The Democratic take over of congress was probably engineered long in advance. This also makes Obama's job easier and insulates him from the tough issues that presidents have to deal with in terms of senate battles between Republicans and Democrats. George Soros likely bought Obama an Army of advisors to answer any and all questions. Remember Soros is the financial genious that made his money off of the securities markets. He may have even had a hand in crashing the stock market to favor the Democrats just before the election. There is no way that the most unqualified presidential candidate in history got to where he did without such massive help. Some have speculated that after Obama won the Presidency, the media would turn on him and the honeymoon would be over but there is a broader agenda. Soros is buying up all of these newspapers that are endorsing Obama which is an attempt at a Socialist propaganda state. He will likely retain his control over the large media networks as well. What is the price Obama pays for having his ego stoked? An agenda that makes George Soros the grand puppet master of planet Earth!

What Obama means to this country is that there is a SUCKER born every minute, and Obama had just proved it by spinning his lies to all of the brain dead voters who supported him. Now everyone, let's see this Obama work his Moses like powers and see him get our country out of debt, out of wars, out of other countries business, out of the United Nations, Out of NATO, out of NAFTA, let's see him create millions of jobs that pay over $100,000/year for all, give FREE GOVERNMENT Medical, Prescriptions and Dental CARE, FREE COLLEGE TUITION FOR ALL CITIZENS, FREE BAIL OUT MONEY TO TAXPAYERS FOR PERSONAL DEBT, let's see if Obama is going to lower fuel cost to $1.00/Gal, FREE VACATIONS FOR APPLYING FOR THE ABOVE PROGRAMS, Free government surplus supplies that are just sitting around in warehouses across the country, free access to all Congressional meetings, free night stay in the white house, free ride on air force one, a free tour at the NORAD site in Colorado, there are just so many things that Obma can do for all of us, if he can keep all of these campaign promises!!!!

Get on board!!! Stop spewing hate and do something positive with all the energy you are wasting here wallowing in anger! We rode your train into the oblivion that now surrounds us. Climb on board, make a difference, choose a lofty goal or simply shut up and get the hell out of our way! AMERICANS! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Step up! Do you feel better when you've ranted and carried this much darkness, or would you feel better reaching to help someone else!? Who have you helped today? Someone somewhere needs you to bring love or good actions into their life...Become the goodness you say that you seek! Begin now...and begin again EVERY DAY!!!

Obama Quotes, this what we have to look forward to:

From ???The Audacity Of Hope, ???I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.???
From The Audacity Of Hope, ???We are no longer just a Christian nation,??? ???We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.???

From Dreams of My Father, ??? I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER???S RACE???.

From ???Dreams of my Father???, ???The emotion between the races could never be pure???.. the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.???

From ???Dreams of My Father???,
???I ceased to advertise my mother???s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites???

From Dreams Of My Father, ???never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn???t speak to my own. It was into my father???s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I???d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..???.

From Dreams Of My Father:
???That hate hadn???t gone away,??? he wrote, blaming ???white people ??? some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.???

From Dreams Of My Father;
???There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,??? he wrote. ???It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names???

From Dreams Of My Father, ???I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races.???

So, who is the next mystery person with a shady background the US liberal pro-marxist media propaganda machine is going to convince Americans to vote for ? ... I heard William Ayers has political aspirations.
