I've been readding about the polls, and the election, all of the debates, and listening to people talk about the McCain vs. Obama election. It's got me thinking that there s a real chance that Obama may be elected in November. But, what I'm interested in, what does that mean for America? If Obama is elected, is that the end of the United States of America, as I've heard some people around here at the courthouse say? They predict all sorts of doom and gloom, such as nationalization of many forms of industry, health care, interstate transportation, etc. They see an effort to pack the Supreme Court with extreme liberals, much in the manner of FDR, to get Obama's package through Constitutional challenges. They see a federal lawsuit to ban any and all repeating weapons once the make-up of the court's have changed, or a federal sin tax on ammunition and firearms that would essentially dry up the market, to avoid constitutional challenges. ON the other hand, there are those who see Obama as just another worthless president who would at best have a year or two of power, with support of Congress, until a backlash occurred in the next election and the Congress is packed with Republicans, leaving Obama virtually powerless.
What do you see as likely to occur if Obama actually is elected? Personally, I see Obama trying to push many liberal ideas and programs, meeting a lukewarm reception in Congress. Another president who really did nothing more significant than being elected. This economic turn ain't going to end by January, and if and when it continues with these hard time, he's gonna take the blame for it. If there's a turnaround anytime soon, the Republican's will take credit for it, saying W's plan worked out.
Any thoughts?
