Unprecedented celebrations, energy, jump start to Obama presidency

Inaugurations are ususally stuffy affairs, but on Jan. 20, things changed. On the podium, President Obama beamed (even when the Chief Justice flubbed the oath), his children kidded around, and Rev. Joseph Lowrey brought the house down with a benediction hoping for a "day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around..." But the most unstuffed (and unprecedented) part of the occasion happened in the specator seats--on the National Mall grounds, in front of TV sets around the world, and even in the inaugural balls. A look at the often off-the-charts energy level of Obama's supporters on that historic day.

    Obama is projecting Decision, Firmness, Decisiveness, Energy, Resolution, Determination, Conclusiveness - Obama follows Machiavelli
    .
    The first decisions of Obama, Closing Guantanamo Gitmo and others :

    I think that Obama is following the Advice of Niccolo Machiavelli and other authors that say that the Prince should be Energetic and Act, even if he makes mistakes. The Prince has to project Decision, Firmness, Decisiveness, Energy, Resolution, Determination, Conclusiveness.

    This New Prince of America 2009 is showing Power and Youth !!

    Obama is showing that he likes to rule, to command, to govern, to exercise control, dominion, or direction of events. Not to react to events but to lead and cause events to happen.

    But the Bombing of Pakistan is Ominous, like when Lyndon B. Johnson became aggressive on Vietnam.

    Anyway - I am dedicated to Prophesize the Future ( rational prophecies ) and to look the web for good advice to Mr Obama.

    I hope that PROPHESIZING.COM correctly interprets the FUTURE

    Ian Smith has a foreboding prediction with Zimbabwe, and he was right. It was much to the detriment of the blacks, less so the whites (who could and did move on).


    If Obama runs the country like how the democratic cities are run, we are in very biiggggg trouble. I can tell you I do not wish to live in a city where I have to look over my back all the time.

    Ever stop and think you don't make any sense, he is half white and was raised by his white mother and grandparents. He is a caring person who is not ignorant.
