If Obama es the next president, what effects will this have on our nation?

Question

Serious answers only. No bashing please of our elected officials.

Answer 1

I'm worried about a new awakening of racial proportions, to the point that there will be more racial hate and violence.

Answer 2

realistically, with the royal mess we're in, i think it would take nothing short of a miracle to bring us up economically and to get us out of a war we don't belong in. we certainly cannot replace the lives lost or the money poured into that black hole.

the good news is, he has a heart for the people; not the 5% of the most wealthy and he will try to do what  serves the most the best. who in their right mind would even want to think about tackling such issues. i think we need to be grateful that one with such a heart is wiling to lay it all down to try.

Answer 3

I really cant see much difference in the two candidates currently running for president, except for the obvious party line distinctions that are present with all politicians.  

The one thing Obama will have is a democraticly controlled congress, which will allow liberal policies to be pushed through somewhat more easily, although the senate is pretty much even as of now.  Within 2 years, Im guessing  the congress will begin to shift to republican to counterbalance those policies as people get fed up with liberalism.  Its all one continuous cycle, with the only constant being the erosion of our freedoms and civil liberties by both parties.  One side in the name of socialism, the other side in the name of security.

If Hillary is VP, I predict big brother style socialism within 12 years, and total economic collapse to follow, as the country is spent into oblivion with social programs, and a humungous government that monitors everything we do, and how often new mothers feed their babies.

Answer 4

Positive change in policies, a path out of Iraq, a path that doesn't lead to bombing Iran...all in all becoming an intelligent nation once more.

Answer 5

The combination of global financial upheaval combined with fiscally inept policies of taxing the rich and establishing the largest social welfare program this country has ever seen, will cause the dollar to collapse under its own weight.

Oh....bash on YA bash on!

Answer 6

A better economy, a renewed respect for the US in the eyes of most Countries, an end to the war in Iraq, better race-relations, a complete overhaul of the health care system in which 50 million previously uninsured Americans will be covered finally, and better pay for those on the bottom.

Answer 7

The work will begin to clean up the moral and fiscal excesses the GOP has indulged in in the White House over the last 7.5 years, and which has put our people and nation in a terrible situation.

Answer 8

The nation will continue it's downward spiral into political correctness, government mandates, government handouts, liberal judges, complete ineptitude in foreign affairs. Unfettered immigration, the poor vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, so the more poor immiigrants, the better.  The nation that you know and love will cease to exist.

Answer 9

I can't top Troy's answer.  Welcome to third world america!
