I have gazed into my crystal ball to see what the first two years of the Obama administration will bring. (Alright, I told you we could have a little fun in our predicament and we're gonna start here.) I hope you will add your prediction's by clicking 'comment' below the posting.
JANUARY 20,2009: After using the word "Change" 146 times and "Hope" 211, President Obama announces his "rebuilding America" plan by creating a record number of government bailout programs for everything from the Retail industry to Hollywood studios. NBC will get several billion. The deficit clock will explode.
JANUARY 21, 2009: The biggest stock market drop in history.
FEBRUARY 2009: In his 'State of the Union' address, President Obama, avoiding the stagnant stock market, record low fourth quarter sales numbers and new job lows, talks about his poor Kenyan ancestors who survived by hunting with sticks and living in huts. His record high approval rating takes a dive. The Honeymoon is over.
MARCH 2009: In an attempt to "Bring the Nation together in Prayer", President Obama launches a week of prayer for 'hope and healing'. Controversy arises when Rev. Jeramiah Wright's invitation is rescinded by the White House after he calls it "restitution", causing him to call President Obama 'President Uncle Tom'.
JUNE 2009: After finally allowing his Harvard transcripts to be released, we find that the reason Obama's grades were hidden is because they were similar to Sen. McCain's Naval Academy grades. D's. Sub par to former President Bush's C average. Which prompt some critics to ask "Who's the idiot?"
AUGUST 2009: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, after blaming President Obama for her own miserable approval rating, is brought down in a scandal when it is revealed that her husband Paul and his Georgetown 'Wall Street Alliance" group were involved in insider trading and making huge sums of money from government bailouts.
SEPTEMBER 2009: President Obama becomes the hero of hurricane season as he jets off to the hurricane targets and addresses the nation from the eye of the storms to be shown giving hugs to storm victims.
NOVEMBER 2009: Hillary Clinton announces her plans to run for Governor of New York. She also launches a whisper campaign getting word out that she will, upon being sworn in, name Bill Clinton to replace her in the Senate.
MAY 2010: Obamagate! Disgraced former Governor of Illinois, Rod Blodgovich, launches his new book revealing the underbelly of Chicago politics. Old names like Tony Resko and Bill Ayers as well as Mayor Daly and Presidential Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel are tied into money laundering, election fraud and shady real estate dealings with government contracts. It's a best seller. Obama claims the media are unfairly attacking him.
AUGUST 2010: The big one automaker, GCF Motor company, announces it needs a fifth bailout after government mandated 'earth friendly' cars continue to sit in the lots as the new AMC (All Made in China) low cost cars are on back order due to high demand for the lower mileage vehicle.
NOVEMBER 2010: Rudy Guiliani is elected Governor of New York after Michael Bloomberg, the Independent, splits the Democrat vote with Hillary Clinton.
While these predictions are purely speculative, they are based on some fact that could help them to materialize. We can only hope for the best for this country, but we know from history that it is not always possible. The battle over covering for Obama or scooping FOX news will be tough for the leftstream media. The almighty dollar always wins. With FOX's continued high ratings and layoffs at NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN etc., you can bet they will know where their bread is buttered.
Other things NOT to expect are:
-An immediate pullout from Iraq. Obama will now be privileged to intelligence reports about the instability around the middle east (So THAT'S why we're in Iraq) and the prospect of bringing hundreds and thousands of men and women home to a miserable job and housing market. Look for the anti-war protesters to return.
-A bi-partisan attitude. Why would they listen to the minority? A Republican in the cabinet? If so, it will be another David Gergan type character with questionable credentials.
-A stable cabinet. With Rahm Emanual in charge, President-elect Obama shows he has no regard for executive experience. Emanual was an aide to Bill Clinton, an investment broker and a congressman. With no management leader in place, expect many cabinet comings and goings.
Only time will tell what will be. We learned from the Bush administration that it is the things you don't expect that will set tone and define the Obama Presidency. Lets hope that our worst days are behind us. But don't count on it.
