President Obama

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln

In light of his dismal performance in last nights debate debacle, It appears John McCain may be conceding the election.

Or maybe he's just tired.

I don't know.

He's 72. Maybe the demands of constant campaigning are getting to him. Even a younger man in perfect health would tire from all that activity.

Remember when Obama explained that his statement about babies on breathalyzers was because he was tired?

Hey, it happens. That's why I haven't ridiculed him over that particular gaffe. It's perfectly understandable that Obama or anyone else might make silly statements under that kind of duress.

Except--McCain hasn't made any of those kinds of fatigue induced silly statements.

But I digress. We might grudgingly have to get used to the possibility that Barack Hussein Obama may be our next President. As distasteful as that is, it nevertheless is a distinct possibility.

With that frightening possibility in mind, I'm wondering how America would change under an Obama Presidency.

I'm thinking. Can you smell the smoke?

Obama has asserted that the first thing he would do as President would be to drastically cut military spending and work for nuclear non-proliferation. So, can we expect him, with the aid of a Democratic controlled Congress, to cut the military budget, along with the systematic gutting, if not dismantling, of our homeland security department? That would result in the the very real threat of another, more deadly terrorist attack, wouldn't it?

Will he raise taxes, mandate welfare checks to people who already don't pay taxes, and implement all kinds of spending programs for just about every Liberal social program that comes to his attention?

Are we to expect an effort to stifle free speech under the guise of a "fairness doctrine"?

Will he negotiate surrender in Iraq and sit down with insane dictators world-wide and agree to all kinds of concessions that will seriously endanger the United States' security and standing in the world?

Will he increase taxes again?

Will he cease all oil production and drilling in America, making America 100% dependant on foreign oil, at least until he can discover some sort of miracle alternative fuel that doesn't do any damage to the environment, and costs nothing to manufacture?

Will he institute a massive education program that will effectively indoctrinate all children in how to have sex and teach Marxist doctrinal principles?

Will he have to raise taxes some more to pay for all that?

I'm also thinking of who he would choose for his cabinet. For starters, would it surprise anyone if he chose Franklin Raines as his Secretary of the treasury? How about William Ayres as Secretary of Education? Will he throw a bone to Hillary Clinton as Secretary of Defense?

Would that really surprise anyone?

In the interest of keeping my posts short, that's enough speculating for now. There's more. Much more that he can, might, or will do.

Perhaps my readers can add to the list of Obama's changes. How about it readers? What are your predictions?

You Libs can contribute, too. It's a free country.

For now.
