Predicts for Obamicts
A'hoy there, Buzsaw.
I also have alist a to how the Obama years will be like. Its a bit different from yours, but I hope its pretty good.
Here's it goes; !
1. Partial socialized medicine (Why cant we have pure universal healthcare?)
2. Socialized higher education (Hah! I wish!!)
3. More left leaning supreme court (Good for the environment, bad for the Pro-life movement. To me its a double edged sword)
4.Stricter Gun control, peraps ban on handguns (if you have'em, HIDE EM! Just in case.)
5.Perhaps economic recovery (A BIG IF)
6. Better EPA (Any is better than Bush JR')
7. Stronger measures against Global Warming, rejoining Kyoto (Might hurt economy more, but i'd go for it).
8. More NASA funding (Hhehehehhahahahahahahaha! That was a joke more than a prediction)
9. Out of Iraq, thousands more to fight in Afganistan (Finally!)
10. Undermining, perhaps undoing of Partial-birth Abortion ban (hey, for pro-lifers like me, it gets worse!)
11. Roe v Wade still going strong 35 years from now (Stil more!)
12. No help for infants orn in botched abortions (Doesn't that make a beautiful picture in your head, the words "Botched abortions")
13. Obama will say, albeit rarely, some word mishaps
14. Extreme hatred of Obama by the ultra right, just like with Bill Clinton, perhaps worse
15. War protesters by and large will either have to focus their attention onto Afghanistan, or find something else to do for kicks.
16. Less manned, less funded, more technoligically advanced, highly lethal military, like under Clinton.
17. Osama may be caught (I'd like to see that soon!)
18. Stronger laws for violating the endangered species act (I wonder if he'll do that, but i'm perhaps being too optimistic).
19. He'll get a second term (It might not matter if he runs the nation too the ground; his charisma and "cult of personality" will possibly win through).
20. Higher taxes
21. Repeal of Bush tax cuts
22. ease of tensions with Russia, North Korea, Syria, and repaired relations with our allies (Americans care more for economy than that, but it could happen).
23. Michael Moore will have to work harder to find material for movies.
24. A new first kid will be born during the first term
25. Gay Marriage made legal
26. Polygamy will be afterwards debated by te Supreme court
27. Conservatives, perhaps even snl, will make fun of the Obama children, like both did of Chelsie Clinton during the Clinton era.
28. Republicans will either consider the 2012 election lost before it starts (ike the Democrats did with the 2004 election) or turn out in mass droves to remove Obama.
29. Higher tensions with pakistan
30. Legalized Marijuana (?)
