What will happen if Obama is elected? Excellent question but there is no right answer because we don't know what the circumstances he will face.

First off, it won't be socialism because the banks have already been socialized and there isn't that much left to socialize. Well, that is just a gag.

Anyway, I suspect you'll get a lot of what you expect. People say higher taxes and that isn't going to happen right away. The first thing he'll do (wrongly) is cut taxes in an attempt to keep revenue the same. That will fail miserably. Government tax revenues are going to take a huge hit this year.

Expect some of Barack's programs to get the ax. You can forget about national health care for now. You can also expect reduced government services. It is great and all to talk about all the things government is going to do but with the monster deficit and decreased revenues you can expect much less from the national government.

In the long veiw what he should do is pull the troops out of Iraq (He has discussed this with Patreaus), reinforce the troops in Afghanistan so we can get out of there as well. Wars are expensive and there is no return on the investment when you are America.

He will also spend a lot less than McCain. Everyone talks about tax and spend liberals and so forth but those folks are brain damaged or something. Worse than taxing and spending is just spending. That is a tax passed on to the next generation.

Expect Barack, a harvard trained lawyer, to stop the torture of prisoners, the illegal spying of the bush administration and reckless transfer of wealth from the middle class to the elite.

If you are worried about the Barack admin don't be. The world didn't stop spinning when Clinton and Bush won. Presidewnts have far less power than most people think and it is only for eight years max.

For those truly worried about what Barack (or McCain) will do as president you people have no idea how strong America actually is. You also have no idea why America is strong.
