I predict Obama will win re-election. After his re-election, he'll begin transforming the USA into some kind of third world dictatorship.

However, if Yellowstone erupts, there won't be much USA left and the ash cloud will impact the whole world.

Obama and his party hate the constitution. What makes you think he won't just trash whatever is left of it?

Are you saying the president could stage a coup of the country or declare marshal law for no apparent reason?

He'll create reasons. Ever wonder why so much of the money he borrowed is still unspent? I'll bet my paycheck most of it will show up about election time.

Clinton screwed us with NAFTA and the like. Bush the chimp destroyed everything budget wise Clinton did and ran up huge deficits. He got us into 2 wars that are bleeding us white. You can't blame all the presidents in this, the stupidity of Americans in general, privatization, globalization and unregulated capitalism did it's share along with the main culprits, our representatives in DC don't give a damn about the country.

I do believe we are on a fast track to the third world. It's just a matter of time.I wouldn't go to that extreme but I would say there is too much ideology in Washington.

Clinton was no angel by any means. His best work was in womans rights, but Mickey Cantor had him kissing an awful lot of corporate ass, and of course we know what his economic team did to us, its the same bunch in there now. Reagan started this financial mess but Clinton did his share too. And the last fool we had in there was just a corporate hack permitting his cronies from down south (FEMA for example) to screw things up big time. Although Obama is heads and tails over Bush in many area's, he's surrounded himself with a lot of people that are status quo believers.

What I've come to realize is when democrats or republicans use the word "change" they simply mean wearing the other pair of shoes, but both pairs are covered in poop.
